Any household item which I can make use of? Get some hydrogen peroxide and let the foamies be dipped in it for a while (eg 5min-15min), take it out, rinse thoroughly with water, and dip it in again for another time for the same duration, then take it out again, rinse thoroughly again and then place it in a mocrowave oven and bake it. This is what I gather from the foamie users over at HF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scanfiend 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2006 I think the main purpose here is hygiene, because with IEM's you're sticking it pretty deep into the ear canal. I've seen complies that look absolutely filthy....with GREEN stuff on it Can't imagine sticking them into your ear I think the steps detailed by Zephyron refer to the yellow foamies....they look and feel like sponges, and can probably stand up to the soaking and microwaving. Can they work on the comply tips? Their feel & consistency make them more like rubber than sponges. They look like they may disintegrate when you soak them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They look like they may disintegrate when you soak them yeah ... it feels abit like latex foam and with a thin layer of polymer on the outside ... The complys should be more fragile bah ... even if it is not the foam that melt , the central soft plastic core would be prone to be so ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
