Well, that was smooth...

I was listening to the hockey game through my computer(streaming radio), and I decided to get a snack. Needless to say, my coordination wasn't exact and they happened to drop in a cup of hot cocoa. Now, while they still work, everything is reeealy high pitched and squeaky sounding. These are a goood set of headphones(well, it's the iPod headphones, put I like 'em... they fit my ears), and I don't suppose there isn't a way to fix them of said squeekiness? If not, does anyone have any good headphone suggestions? Nothing massive, please, I *hate* those ones that take up the entire side of your head. Something small would be nice... good pair of earbuds would be optimal.

If you like iPod headphones why not buy some off www.apple.com/ipod ?

Give 'em a couple of days to dry out thoroughly and see what happens.

Eeef, hot cocoa and headphones...uh not a good recipe there, Sir G! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I hope they work when they dry out!

Try taking it apart once it's dry and cleaning it. I've seen it work on a cell phone dipped in coke.

As have I. A good stint in a warm dry place is what's needed.

Ok, I'll try them again tomorrow, and see how they do. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Well that sucks. I washed my mp3 player and headphones. This was about a month ago. After they dried out they did work again. But being Hot chocolate i am not to sure? Good luck with that.

It usually depends on the substance, I spilled re bull all through my laptop's keyboard and allthough I washed it thoroughly and dried it multiple times, but it seems the other stuff in the redbull had done its damage and I was forced to get another keyboard...

I dont know what kind of damage hot chocolate would do....

Depends on how hot it was...
