I am seeing quite a few " blown " earpieces and speakers .


The answer to the original OP's question ... yes the earpiece can be replaced.

yes i work in a machine shop and have to clean the metal shavings out daily. i have blown out 4 or 5 rear speakers on my evo so far but i have the warranty on it so they replace the speakers when they go out without question. just make sure to clean it before bringing it in. one thing i started doing was putting a tissue over the speaker to act as a filter for the shavings and it has worked so far as long as you clean it every few days.

I used to put my phone in a zip loc before going into poultry plants.

what would be the better remedy for cleaning the speaker area? (other than not getting anything in it at all) blowing air on it, or using a vacuum? I only ask cause I once blew out a speaker and I thought it might have been caused by blowing air. maybe coincidence.
