CRAP! I taught they are isolated enough, so rain couldn't do any harm, but it did!
I was listening to them while it was raining. After a while I noticed that right earphone was popped out of my ear a little. Right Comply canal tip was completely wet, however everything sounded like it should. Then I get back home, put my UM2's somewhere and forgot about them for a while. After 10 min I remembered that it would be nice to dry right comply tip, but before I checked If sound was ok. Well, it wasnt! The right earphone now sound very very quiet.
Help me guys! What should I do now?

well, firstly, think of them as 300$ iems - then treat them as such. you just might have something i the canal of the thing. look at the filter to see that it is not just water in the tube. otherwise, listen to the next poster

It's not filled with water if you meant that.
Nothing that I can see...

Your out $300.

See if you can get a warrenty repair.

Do they use filters like etymotic.

I got the filter on one of my etymotics wet, it had the effect of making the sound very quite. I removed it and left it to dry for a while and it was fine.

Leave it to dry before making any rash decisions.

Put them in a can with some of that dessicating stuff and let them sit for a while. I bet you will be ok if it is only quiet, rather than non-functional.

yeah...I almost had the problem like you...but luckily I alway put siliga gel in my bag so it's not a problem.

I covered the right earphone in a towel and left it for 4 hours. And now everything is ok. Thanks God! It's a huge relief for me.
Thank you all for replies.

False. I once happened to use my UM2s when my inner ear canal was still slightly wet after a shower, and the left channel stopped working almost immediately. I was a bit scared, but several hours later it was working again like nothing ever happened. These things aren't that delicate, you know.

It's with any armature IEMs, just let them dry out and it should be fine. I use the the little Monitor Saver silica gel pack when things like that happen.

That doesn't mean we should throw them around and go swimming with them/ext.

They still require delicate handling or they wont last nearly as long as they could have.

I'm glad everything is ok, I hope in the future it won't happen again.

I almost spit up my drink when I read the title of this thread.

Not own a pair of $300 IEMs if you don't know how to use them responsibly.

But it's your money.

or..you are out $300 now. I advise against the completely unethical post above suggesting a warranty repair service. How is a warranty claim applicable and appropriate for this type of user caused error? This seems to be the same untoward nature that drives these darn phones up to the costs they are, and my advice is be more aware of your surroundings, investments, and of course possessions. Sorry to hear the cans are soggy, did the OP try and disasseble to allow to dry for a day or so? Hopefully this works out, and not with the warranty replacement.
