My dog just ate my ER4S

[gates_2]

I wake up this morning to this:

..I'm a little devastated. I'm home at my parents place, and my 15 year old dog never does things like this. We had bad storms last night, so I think she got worried and needed something to chew on. These were on my chair...

Do you think ETY can repair them at all? A new casing might work. I really can't afford another $150, but I loved these very much!

 

[Max Dread]

Yeah, and mine were abducted by aliens!

You couls always see what comes out the other end!

Seriously, I'm real sorry for you mate.

Now.......eat the dog as appropriate retribution for his/her misbehavior. A little Tabasco works rather well with some breeds. I'd also suggest washing it down with a Medoc.

Who knew Ety's tasted so good!!

 

[espire]

If the internals are still okay, then a reasonable company would repair it for a reasonable price. Will Etymotic fix it? One can hope.

 

[krmathis]

I feel with you!
Why not just drop Etymotics an email, asking if there are any way to bring them to life again?

 

[Akabeth]

Best bet is to check the warranty files. If they cover something like this, then I'm astounded

Otherwise, I'm sorry about that

Bad dog, bad dog

 

[grandenigma1]

Those should be salvageable.

I would expecting something much much worse looking or that the dog ate them whole...

 

[cantsleep]

call them and ask for a repair.
last time i asked, they quoted me about $90 for a repair.

That sucks. Who knew your dog was a Shure fanboy.

I'd be very sad if my ER4 was destroyed like that. I bet you'll always put them away is a safe place from now on.

I learned my lesson when I was about 15 and my Basset Hound ate my Senn 414.

I use ER6 in bed. I worry that my little chewer dog Pico (in avatar) will decide to sever the cable with one swift chomp.

I hope you can get those beloved etys back in action.

heh I know how ya feel. i lost my se530's last week or week before, only had them about 6 months. im nothing without them

Bummer. After nearly suffering the same fate myself, I decided to put my IEM into a small metal box when I'm not using them. It preserves them from damage, and somehow keeps the cables from tangling.

Let us know how repairs/warranty turned out.

At least your cat didn't get to them:
