Wow. I’m sorry to hear that. I hope they have replacements available.

Looks like there were still some in stock so I just placed a new order and will ship the other two back.
The odd thing was that I had to use a different credit card since the first one I used kept getting an error.

Gave the magic eraser a try for the hell of it and I can't tell if it actually improved anything. Then I did a quick side by side after 20 or so minutes of scrubbing, twisting, pulling, etc. You be the judge.

My phone had a hell of a time focusing on the pins, but there was little to no change. If anything maybe the ends of the pins looked shinier.

Yeah the metal that’s exposed is shinier but the black funk hasn’t moved at all. Defo return job.

Yep. I even called a local service guy and described it to him. He said if I already tried alcohol and mild abrasive that there was probably no hope.
Thanks everyone for the help. Sometimes I think I'm being too anxious about something and then other times I am completely warranted in thinking something is definitely wrong.

When I saw your pic I just instinctively dropped my phone and made a sign of the cross. My phone is busted now. This is the Devil's work.

I would have tried holy water, but my hand started steaming.

When I made the cross I heard a faint cry from the basement. So I mean that's kinda unnerving.

Speaking of golf, I did another thing. The color is golf adjacent. Campfire Andromeda 2020 IEMs. These are absolutely astonishing and are gunna make my 14 hours a week on public transit SO much more enjoyable/tolerable/stop me from going postal on random bus passengers.

YESSIR Questyle M15 with bit perfect Tidal (when the app isn't broken which is currently is because Tidal doesn't know what they're doing)

Heck yeah - now that's a commute!!
Ugh, dude. They gotta get their shit together with the Tidal app. It's always something. It's gotten to the point where Qobuz is often more reliable. Spotify is such a horrendous company, but they sure know how to code an app.

I would GLADLY jump off the super expensive Tidal bandwagon if there was even a single other option up here for high res. Deezer isn't super high res, Apple is pretty good but I don't have an apple phone so functionality between that app and my bluesound node would require me to use the iPad or an old iPhone which is a pain since the iPad is usually in the basement and I'd have to go find it in order to play anything, Spotify are assholes but also don't have high res either and that leaves Amazon and ugh screw them too. And Qobuz isn't in Canada.
But yes the sound through the M15 with Tidal high res and these Andromeda 2020s is absolutely heavenly. I never knew IEMs could sound like this.
