I wish headfi would improve the search functionality. I am positive 64audio commented on the question below in this thread, but I cannot find it.

The desiccant containers: the beads change from orange to white, once saturated, correct? And can be reactivated by drying them out in an oven?

Yes, there are instructions on how to do it here:

Doesn't look like the containers can be opened though, or can they? Won't the container melt if they are placed in the oven ... ?

I don’t know. I had a friend in Singapore who used to put his desiccant pods straight in the microwave, and they always turned out fine. I’m not 100% sure whether or not he opened them up first, but they were the standard pods that come with most CIEMs, so they should be the same ones.

I'll give it a go at a lowish temperature.

I do that all the time. just be careful that 30s is a lot for the size of our desiccant. I usually put 10s.

I saw one on one of these desiccant small bags saying that you could put 15s on microwave to renew it.

I tried this, a few times 10-20 seconds, but I see no difference in the color of the beads..

Maybe I'll have more luck trying this with the oven.

Dunno about anyone else, but a hearing aid dryer was one of the better (& cheaper) investments I made once I got customs 9 odd yrs ago & has served me well since with both customs/universals.

The plastic might melt, wouldn't be the healthiest thing to get in your food accidentally haha

Congrats there!

I’m currently using mine with UTWS5.

Make your own desiccant bags. Buy a 5lb bag on Amazon as well as cloth teabags. All in it should cost less than $40 and you'll have a ton of desiccant pouches to stash wherever they're needed.

Agreed - I love my Duos, they are perfect for my needs, but don't see many reviews or comments about them here.

If I had to guess, the people that are most vocal about their iems are those that seek out either the highest of the high end or the lowest of the lows. If it's not either a top tier flagship or some cheap super high price to performance ratio, it just doesn't seem to get a lot of attention.

I really like mine too. They are great, but there's also only so much I can say about them.
