I'm worried the drivers were abused. All too familiar story about IEMs loaned out to friends.

Ohman just ran into a disaster with my DBA02s. Lent them to a friend for a week, he said he kept them in a dry box most of the time when they weren't in use. I got them back today and they were busted, extremely soft now. Sound still comes through but its as if its playing through water or a wall or something. Anyone knows what might have happened? :/ My friend says they were fine till he returned them me and I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt :/
Nope, both filters still intact. A first gen version with the paper-ish filters right at the top, nothing can get in. . . .
Check if he stuffed some cotton or foam in the nozzle - he might tried to kill the 'sibilance'

Silly question, but how exactly would you go about "abusing" the drivers, or damaging the crossovers, or really harming anything but the cable? It's all passive. Unless they plugged it into a source with DC offset and something melted, can you really damage something other than the cable without damaging the enclosure as well? Sounds more like a failed unit., barring cable damage.

Filters may be dirty. If the tips fit is different than his sm3s, he may have waxed yours. The filters may be clogged and that's what folks mean by checking them. From your description, it shouldn't be the drivers but stuff happens. Weren't people having moisture issues with these where drying them out helped?
