Stupidity Hurts
I just finished a load of laundry and discovered I left my Bose Quiet Comfort Utra II earbuds in a pants pocket. I'm so passed at myself.

Ouch, hopefully they aren't destroyed. My wife washed her pair of apple airpods, she was not happy either. One side the speaker and mic survived, other side the speaker survived but not the mic. Now the good side needs to be put in first to connect and then put the "bad" side in and it will connect and the speaker will work (but not the mic). If you put the bad side in first, it doesn't connect and the good side does not connect after putting it in second. I tried various tips from the internet to no avail. She got a new pair and now has a bang around pair.

This is why I buy the cheap earbuds from Amazon's Deals page. Usually less than $20 and good enough for me.

I bought a cheap pair of skull candy (?) earbuds. They work just as you would expect. They are inexpensive. If you have ever bought the AirPod Max you quickly come to hate the cheapies. There just isn't any comparison. I feel your pain.

Could be worse, my wife didn't catch the crayons one of my kids had in their pocket of their pants and washed them then into the dryer where they proceed to melt over everything, clothes and the dryer interior. Frown
