Just received E3's

[jack963]

Well, they just came in. I was flipping through the instruction manual, and it advises the user to clean them with an antiseptic after each use; I have a few questions about this. What do you guys use as an antiseptic? Just rubbing alcohol? How exactly do you clean then/what do you actually clean? Is it really necessary to clean them after each use? Also, this isn't related to cleaning them, but the booklet mentions the fact that the foamies are disposable; how do you know when you need new ones? Thanks a lot for any help.

To be honest I ignored that. I've had them 2 days now, and i'm sending them back, the mids and highs just don't do it for me. Hopefully Todd has a good return policy.

I see; hopefully I have some more luck...anyone have input on caring for the E3's? Thanks.

I use Hydrogen Peroxide from Walmart. Hydrogen Peroxide can also be used to clean just about anything that comes into contact with the body on a regular basis Headphone pads (wipe clean with a damp tissue dipped in H2O2), Watch straps, eyewear, hats...just about everything...

I use alcohol swabs from Savon, they come in 100 individual packets and cost around $3

Alright, cool. And for those of you who use the foamies, how often do you find yourselves replacing the foam tips? Also, do you guys find it necesssary to clean the earphones after each use? Thanks a lot.
