Don't wash electronics
Like everyone else I sometimes stick my earphones in my back pocket… except today I put those trousers **in the washing machine!* Fortunately I wash without fabric softener, to prevent reducing the capillary performance of the fibres.* Maybe that's what saved them from disaster. So which earphones can survive a machine wash?
Sennheiser MX460 — they not only sound great, they **survive the washing machine too!**
