So an 8 min video all to say wipe with a towel dipped in water... Nice

@frozenduck74 Год назад

Lint free cloth, a normal towel would damage them

@mbdg6810 Год назад

Nope wrong. You’re oversimplifying and that negates the very simple *specific* instructions regarding what not to use. If you can’t find 8 minutes, thats a you problem.

@alphaj9 Год назад

What about removing the dirt that builds up on the magnets that hold them shut. They look like crap after a few months and the dirt won’t come off with anything

@Milloou Год назад

hi!what kind of tool, where to buy what is it called?thank you!

@obmijnivre Год назад

Cleaning the outside does nothing. Just pushes gunk into the mesh. I just popped the speaker cover off and it was awful inside. Couldn’t see through the mesh. I used water used and a q-tip and it’s 100 times better. Louder than the right one now. I’m going to use alcohol them tonite and see if I can get to the mics. I haven’t been able to talk through them for months

Hey if one is quieter than the other it might seem crazy but sick on the big vent and then brush with a cotton swab. Works amazing

@martfort Год назад

a suggestion is to ask your ENT Med Dr. to use the same vacuum cleaner he uses to remove wax from your ear canal on the mesh surface - that should remove the dirt. BUT the question is: will it damage the speaker by creating to strong of a vacuum?

compressed air, alcohol q-tip. Done. None of that other bs.

@starboy5653 Год назад

for the 3rd gen right? worst investment of my life

@yankis. 9 месяцев назад

Blu-tack works. Gently push it on the mesh and the wax clings onto the blu-tack.

How to clean the mesh divider it gets clogged and Sound quality gets cut in half or worse and is the part. I'm the most worried about cause. I feel like it'll just push stuff in Is there a way to pop that out

@mbdg6810 Год назад

Did you go over it gently?

@bel.sat.9051 8 месяцев назад

@mbdg6810 I guess not?😂😂😂😂😂😂

@ryanmartinroyals 8 месяцев назад

@mbdg6810 yes. I’ve found that using a thumbtack very carefully is the way to go. Just scrape on the sides of the inner lip and don’t make any contact with the mesh

@Anonyme09865 2 года назад

Just use a brush for everything. It’s all you need to clean them properly before wiping them with a microfiber cloth.

@osdkiller9258 Год назад

I used a Q-tip and now they sound muffled ☠️ I’m on the verge of exploding rn

@danishqaril8919 Год назад

I read some of the comments. Some are ethical and very useful. Some of them are either sarcastic or plain disgusting. Those who are sarcastic doesn’t own AirPods or AirPods Pro.

@BLAZN420_ECS 2 года назад

Q-Tips FTW lol

@WhirlOmar Год назад

When it gets gunky, the only thing that helps is a toothpick, used carefully. A wooden toothpick is not gonna damage the mesh. Lightly brushing with a little soft brush or no lint dry towel ain’t gonna do nothing with the gunk.

@tammiochoa1678 17 дней назад

OMG! I was cleaning along with you. I used 10 qtips on 1 AirPod alone. I was shocked at how much ear wax was inside of it. I thought the qtip would never come out clean.

@bpacheco6 2 года назад

I've got skullcandy earbuds over 2 years...I douse with ispopropyl alcohol.....works fine. Water isn't bad for electronics...impurities in it is...causes corrosion. I fix electronic circuit boards for a living....we douse stuff much more delicate than these earbuds with isopropyl all the time...it's fine.

@outermarker5801 2 года назад

Been using it forever for various small cleaning jobs. ENT Docs say use it on the fleshy 'contacts' too. Helps control the excess even before earbuds get contaminated 👂

@Tyrionhessen Год назад

i thought he will teach do DIY open airpod literally then remove the dirt then reglue it. but naaa instead we got the cheap version with a nice amazon affiliate link of a product that works 2 times out of 20.

@BossMan-yz3jq Год назад

can i usea clorox whipe on the tips of the airpod pros?

@richardromero1736 Год назад

That's kind of like you saying can I use acid wipes or corrosive wipes...

@Solemn_Kaizoku Год назад

Water and a microfiber cloth? This literally does nothing to disinfect the earbud itself. Might get rid of earwax buildup with enough time and patience, but that's it.

@sirwinkallot 2 месяца назад

Airpods 2nd gen here. Had to remove the mesh over the mic with the end of a push pin and it was disgusting. A few careful swirls and I went from under water sound to clear to the other person. Understand this is the last ditch effort to be able to talk and having the other person hear you clearly. If they are new, your best bet to keep the integrity of it intact is bring it in to an Apple Store of you don’t want a permanent alteration of the AirPod! This worked for me but may not work for all!!

Sorry, this was a waste of time watching .everyone can clean the outside .the screens get gummed up full of earwax only way to clean them and make them work good is it take the freaking screens out perhaps. I did They sound like new again. Maybe to help people you could come up with a way to clean the screens not just what Apple says, and be a mimic.
