Shure EC3. Invincible! Maybe.

[Brohken]

So yea this is sort of a really stupid thing I did. I left my Shure E3 headphones inside of my jacket and asked my mom to wash the jacket.

Now the Shure's are amazing. I use them everyday and they were a $150 dollar gift. So you know when I realized what happened today I was dissapointed. My last expectation would be that they still sounded perfect... I mean they are very well constructed. Nice thick wire, very durable all around. But to survive that? Yea actually they did! And they smell lemony-fresh.

Interesting. Try the dry cleaner's next time?

that's pretty impressive.

the e3's certainly are solid.

That's amazing,

maybe you should write to Shure and tell them the story and ask them to put 'machine washable' as one E3c's feature.

Pondering if I should sell them now...

best of luck,

...tho' a short, sharp tap on something solid (like a 3 inch thick dining table) can break a driver.
Shure's returns dept replaced them no-questions-asked, and I now coil them up bud-end first. :embarrassment:

I've heard of ER-4P's surviving the same treatment. Basically, it seems to me that armature drivers are really durable, and as long as the housing/cable are well made, the canalphone should survive a lot of things.
