What’s more, it was an extra long cycle because my washing machine is dying and it got stuck with an error, so they spent several hours soaking, case and all.

Well, I just charged them and apparently they work fine. I don’t know how long they’ll last after this kind of treatment, but just the fact that they didn’t die immediately deserves a commendation IMO.

    Nice, shame they don’t do over ear ones currently as that is what I use. Being able to hear the world around me still when on a bike ride or run is pretty useful. In ear muffles it took much.

      Same but I wish for on-ear ones (not for bicycle though)

      if I got the term correct, at least

      over ear are large headphones covering ear, on ear are small and don't cover ear, in ear are in ear

        The open ear ones I have currently are fitted just around your ear, but instead of going inside your ear the speaker is outside your ear. Fitting is more secure and because it isn’t completely covering (hence the name open ear) your ear you can still hear things around you. So it works nicely for running and bike rides.

        Mine have touch controls on them too, single touch on either of them will play/pause VLC so I usually pause for the sections I need to ride around busy traffic.

    Disassemble them (look up the battery replacement guide), then leave them open to air out in a dry warm place for several days… Will help avoid any creeping corrosion from moisture you’ve left sealed in the buds.
