My apartment was flooded a few weeks ago (ankle deep, can't complain, nothing compared to what happened to a lot of my countrymen).
The waters subsided within a day, and taking stock of the wreckage the next day, I found my previously lost and forgotten KSC75s in a puddle of water behind the couch. I'm certain they were completely submerged during the height of the flood. I eventually threw out the soaked-through couch, but I kept the headphones.
After letting them to dry in front of a fan for a few hours, I tried them and they worked great! Amazing. Still sounded wonderful. I guess since the drivers are polymer (aka plastic), coated in titanium, there really wasn't anything that water could do to damage them.
I decided to start using them again, since I'd missed them for a few months by then. I was wearing them later that week, and took them off quickly and put tossed them on my desk. I later discovered that I accidentally threw one of the earphones into a glass of water. Again, COMPLETELY submerged.
But I wasn't worried.
