This man has just out-bad-assed us all. Even Mr. Jecklin Floats.

I'd wear ES10s outside as well because I'd always have them around my neck or on my ears. |

Exposure to dry then wet, etc. environments repeatedly can cause the wood shell of the D5000's to warp and perhaps even crack down the line. |
Would you play a $20,000 wooden violin in a downpour? |

But obviously what I was getting at was that wood isn't impervious to water - especially that used for headphones - and should be maintained as such. The more I hear about D2000's, emansdrawkcab, the more I am deugirtni. (See what I did ereht?) Thinking about getting myself a pair on the cheap this Black Friday, if a source can be had... |
