norseman 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2006 The discoloration is normal for the tri-flanges. It won't go away altogether but I wash mine with just some soap and water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nsjong 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2006 hm what type of soap should i use to wash? normal hand soap? Try several types and see which one you think is the best. I used to wash mine with either anti-bacterial soap or dishwashing soap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dogfight Report post Posted October 27, 2006 omg i have never ever cleaned them before! will it shorten the lifespan of the iem and/or triflange? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Absolute0 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2006 It is best to remove the tri-flanges before cleaning, and allow them to dry after cleaning, so that the moisture wouldn't get to the drivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evil-zen 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2006 Make sure to remove any water remnants in the stem of the flange. I killed a pair of filters that way when I was to eager to listen after washing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
