I heard a knock on the door during my shower, it was the postman with my ety ER-4. So now I am staring at them and my ears are wet so prudence dictates that I wait a few minutes to dry up before I try them.

Walk around outside for a bit to let your ears dry out.

Thats exactly what I did, I walked to the store across the street. I have been listening for a while now. All I have to say now is that ER-4p with the p to s adapter cable amped is amazing. The ER-4p straight out of my Karma is a step behind but kills the PX200s (obviously).

I've been considering those for my portable setup, make sure to give a review after you've had them for a little bit

Just to show that I learn from mistakes, the westone um2 is due tommorrow so I plan to shower before bed tonight so I will be ready if they come in the morning.

Uh, what about Q-Tips?? Clean, dry and listen with no waiting for "dry" time.

My sister tore my eardrum with a Q-Tip when I was three, one will never go near my ear again. There is alcohol but since it is dry here I wouldn't want to make things drier. I was kidding anyway, I got the etys on summer vacation when I was sleeping until ten, if fedex gets here anytime close to shower time in the morning it will be a miracle.

Man, she must have dug DEEP to do that. You haven't used one since?? How do you clean your ears?? Don't tell me that wax candle thing that you stick in the ear and light.

I wash the outside part in the shower and let the running water wash some of the soap down my ear, that pretty much keeps them clean. Wax accumulates very slowly almost entire in my left ear (the one that was injured) so I put some hydrogen peroxide in about every other week.
