DSs ear buds went through the washing machine.

[wigglybeezer]

Should I replace them as I collected his dirty washing from his floor rather than wait for him to ( eventually) bring it down to the machine? I also did not check the pockets as I was in a hurry.
He contributed by not bringing his school clothes down earlier but I suppose, technically it was me that did the deed so I should buy him replacements?
What do you think?
He managed to keep reasonably cool ( he's 13) so I feel I should reward him.

Go halfers?

Do you mean headphones? Are you sure they don't work? DSs have been through the wash loads of times and still work fine (iPhone ones).

Bluetooth ones? Ouch. Dry them out fist, see if they’re salvageable.

I’ve also washed them loads of times and they work

This happened to us twice. Apple earphones still working fine. Just dry them out in an airing cupboard.

Mine have been through before too

Yes you should replace them if there broken.

I'll see if they work when dried out.

Identical thread not so long ago.

The outcome was 50/50

If they are Apple EarPods they will probably be fine. I have washed loads of pairs.

Not Apple no, we're too stingy to buy iPhones, well DH used to, he's still clinging on to his iPhone 4!.
