Headphones left in Washing Machine + Dryer

[Mew2468]

I (stupidly) left my headphones in my pocket, and they went into the washing machine and dryer. They still work fine (tested them in my MacBook). Are there any dangers in putting them in my iPod Touch (I'm paranoid about wrecking my electronics )?

Nope. There is absolutely no danger whatsoever

I do that a lot. There isn't any risk in continuing to use them. Your logic is odd though. You tested them on your $1000+ Macbook rather than your $229-$400 iPod?

Possibly. I would rather try on my iPod first though. Plus, headphones don't SEND electricity, so there isn't any risk as long as they're dry.

My iPod went into the washer and survived. Pretty sure the headphones are alright

I would be more woried about electrocuting myself. Just make sure they are completely dry first.

Yeah, you can literally wash your computer if you want (at least the motherboard, and cards, not sure about harddrives), just gotta let it dry for....well, engineers do three days. So the same would go for ipod.

True. As long as the battery doesn't go with it. The hard drive would be broken if you washed it, SSDs would live.
