I have a simple question. What is the maximum lifespan of BA ciem? Will it last for 5-10 years although I always take care of it?
Balance Armature drivers were originally designed for use with hearing aids, which were designed to be very very long lasting, and as mentioned on a thread on head-fi, 7 years is a good guideline, but usually it's the other components that fails, such as clogging up of the filters or the shell deteriorate and crack before the balance armature drivers come close to breaking down.
