Anyways I don't think it's a sig preference issue as we all know how the real piano sound.

We all know how the real piano sounds from the perspective of our individual sound signature preferences....

   Every night if u can.  The biggest issue I would predict would be moisture build up on the damper, which then acts like a sponge for debri. 

Does this recommendation apply to iems with dynamic drivers? Is one more susceptible to moisture than the other?

Don't think I agree on that. On the other hand, chamber music sounds excellent with the 4Ai.

Just wondering, how long would it take for the drivers to go bad with normal usage and no de-humidifying? 
 
And would those included silica packs be enough to prevent moisture build up?

Just curious that under normal use/care conditions without any accidents, how long do we expect the Heir iem's (universals and/or ciem's) to last?

 

[FullCircle]

Technically speaking, Heir life span would be no different from any other CIEM company as they all are essentially comprised of the same components and rely on the same suppliers.
 
One really can not "nail" down an expected life time as well....   we are all in different areas of the world.   The climate conditions in say, Vietnam, vs Idaho are different, thus the results are different.
 
Bangkok Kid owns a pair of 8.A I built for him in Thailand, and I built those for him probably 4-5 years back, and they are still going. (gold nugget clear canals, purple shell, mango face plate)
 
My Padawan, Victor in Thailand, built a set of 2 drivers about 6 years ago and they are still going....   (Bangkok is the bastion of humidity)   But he does take good care of his property.
 
Any how, long story short, your milleage may varry, just take care of them and they will take care of you.

So how to take care of iem's in climate with high humidity?
 
Here is another question:
Will the iem's life span be cut short with extensive use everyday even one takes good care of the iem's?

Use a dry box, dessicant packs or a dry cabinet. I'm using a dry cabinet that has my camera stored in it as well.

Thanks for the tip. Great idea.

I've been looking at one of these to take the best possible care of my 8.A:

This is how I store mine. A very practical and portable solution. I think?

Is that a baby alien in the box?!

Can I store the iem's in my microwave?

You can, just don't turn it on...
