mmatrix 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2005 I just took my shure e5c out of the washing machine. It still works! Came out sparkly clean.. No defects on the audio output 'yet'... However, my mp3 player broke down.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acidboy84 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2005 Hey... Even the Sony EX70 is waterproof. Accdentally left it in my pocket and when it dried out, it was still working perfectly. PS : My white EX70 just became 'whiter' after the machine wash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolute0 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2005 (edited) lucky u... the E5C $1000++ right Should be $800+ IIRC. Anyhow still not the best thing to leave in the washing machine... But you might just have discovered another function of the E5's! Edited February 6, 2005 by Absolute0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nakedtoes 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2005 This is an extreme TEST.. It bring to me something i notice when i watch JAY CHOU DVD concert, he is wearing the E5C too and he was like sweating like hell while dancing and singing. I notice he keep on adjusting the Shure i beilieve it doesn't stay on the ear that wear under sweating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

idkfa 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2005 could be if you are using the flanges, the trapped air inside the drivers are preventing the water from going it. I don't think it's waterproof though. I don't even like the idea of wearing my e5 in the rain... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
