Hi chaych,

Do you have a small pack of Silica gel at home/work/school? Place your UM1 in a sealed container with Silica Gel to remove moisture from your UM1. It might be due to moisture condensate from the weather. :)

Leave it overnight and try them out again. ;)
If impressing/being impressed is how it gets you around, forget it. It is not gonna happen.

Alternatively, you can pass them to me and I will "dry" them using my dry cabinet overnight. More effective than silica :P

If the problem persists after dyring, there might be a problem with the drivers. I heard that this often happens to armature drivers after being exposed to too much moisture but if you play your cards right, warranty should cover it.
Wait, What?
