Hey all,
 
So i am pretty sure i messed up my earphones
 
Was at work and listening to music...got called to a meeting so i quickly chucked my Shure SE310s onto my desk and headed off.  When i returned i realised that i dropped one of the ear buds right into a tea cup lol....that had about half-inch of water in it....just enough to surround the earbud.
 
Anyway, after giving them about 18hours to dry, i plugged them in and although there is sound coming out of the ear bud in question....its VERY quiet.... 
 
The question is: Can i do anything to dry and save these earphones?
 
One ear bud plays completely normal and the other is WAY quieter...so if i turn up the volume to 95+%, i get ok sound in one ear, but insanely loud in the other....
 
Any help, greatly appreciated...

could always give that one a clean in some distilled water but id give it a few days to dry first just in case

Could you elaborate on what you mean?....Just rinse them and/or submerge them in distilled water??

Here comes the rice people.

well yes give that one a bath in the distilled water if leaving for a few days to dry doesnt help. 
 
if there was tea inside them as they dry it may affecting them, its kind of a last resort option though

As odd as it sounds, the "rice method," per se, is where one uses rice to extract the moisture out of something. In this case, it'd be recommended to put your SE310's in a bowl of uncooked rice for X amount of time. Good luck!

give it a 91% isoporpyl alcohol wash... should clean up any gunk and dry it pretty fast.

Alright thanks folks!
 
Will try a few of the methods, see what happens.
