Are my headphones alright?

I own a Creative Fatal1ty Mk. 2 headset (the $70 one). Well, today, I was drinking water, and a few drops of it dropped onto my headset, with one huge drop dropping on the left side, right onto the opening where the cable can connect to the computer. Can there possible be any problems in the long run, or right now? I'm afraid that the water got through into the headset. Help please :D

And maybe its just me, but the sound seems to be softer, is this because of the water? I'm also wondering if the water can degrade the headset's sound quality.

im not sure. i had something like that happen to me once. but its on my senheisser cx400. i left it in my pocket. and my pants went into the washing machine. i just dried it with a hairdryer and it seemed working well again. but my friend says it sounds different though. although i cant tell the difference

Best thing to do when something electrical gets wet is to unplug it / take batteries out asap and leave it overnight to dry out. The can disrupt the current flow and cause short circuits, especially on circuit boards. Either way i say just leave it good while to dry before plugging it in again, otherwise it may damage it.

get yourself some real headphonesdan_plus_o

What he said.

These are real headphones. Well, I guess I'll just take them back to Fry's and get an exchange, lol.
