Need help guys.. while cleaning myR50.. i ended up pushing the filter of my right earpiece a bit inside ..
now the problem is sound from my right earpiece is bit low and sounds dull compared to the left one..
will Etymotic-Filter Changing Tool help..
or any other alternative
 
I wont advice you to open them yourself.Contact esanthosh or faheem.They may have some experience.If you plan to open them yourself use hair dryer to soften the glue.AT YOUR OWN RISK !

hey thanks for replying
i also checked for rma.. i've to send these to HK along with their return shipping fees :- 25$..
well i guess i'll open them
will hair dryer help.. as i guess they used some superglue in place of that yellow gooey glue..
 
Good Luck bro. Open them only if you don't have any other option.If I am right there is TE member "titana" who works on such stuff.Contact him.
 
Doubt it. Is it a paper filter or a metal mesh? If it's the latter, have you tried using a pin to lift it up (or just take it out and then push it in)? May require lot of patience considering the fragile housings of R50, but may work.

its not paper filter or mesh ones
