Exactly what the title says. No this is not a troll post. There was some hardstuck water in my Holas which sunlight couldn’t remove.

While I knew that my Holas have a N52 magnet inside them and that this could go horribly wrong because of the Faraday’s cage, I thought just 2-3 seconds of microwaving wouldn’t do anything. Also had this exact thought running in my mind “bad things don’t happen to me” right before putting them inside. I was in semi-denial.

The driver tore off in a somewhat audible boom and now the right one doesn’t work. The cable is fine because I didn’t put it in the microwave, but the washing machine destroyed the mic last month and now it responds in flat noise.

Luckily they were worth only $20 but I’m still a student so it was somewhat major of a loss. In need of advice if recovery is possible.

TL;DR: Don’t microwave your IEMs.
