@RippanCSGO 2 года назад

The thing I found with gen 3 is that even tho they may work sound vice after getting exposed to water, the microphone often take some heavy damage and result in a significant worse quality and give you that "under water sound". The idea here is that sound will push the water out from the speakers, but the microphone doesn't really have this ability.

@bite8137 2 года назад

Well this is great to know for brand new AirPods, but as Apple say, the seal is not forever and I guess that if you shower with them all the time for example, eventually the risk of getting them damaged will be higher

I left mine (iPods 3 ) with the case by accident into the washing machine full cycle for 30 minutes, I noticed them when I was pulling out the clothes, the case was dry and the pods too. I tested em and they worked just fine. Matter of fact, I’m using the babies right now. 😊

I have the 3rd Gen AirPods. I had the right piece in my ear and the left piece was in the case. The case fell into the toilet and I did not hesitate to grab it out. Toilet only had water in it, thank god! After washing my hands I put isopropyl on a paper towel and wiped down the exterior of the case. After I opened the case I found hardly any moisture inside. I wiped down the left piece and the internals of the case again with isopropyl. I don’t have Apple care for this product but luckily it survived.

@smittyvanjagermanjenson182 18 дней назад

Well, at least they have some resistance. I just bought a pair of Gen 3s for my jogs. They had a $40 discount brand new, so i went with them instead of the 2nd gen. It's a much better design than the galaxy bud pros i had that were literally made to fall out of your ears every 30 seconds when you run with them

@angeloirving3278 7 месяцев назад

I accidentally washed my AirPods, and at first the right AirPod’s sound was horrible but corrected itself in less than a day, but the microphones weren’t working, so I ordered some silica gel packets and put my AirPods (without the case) in a ziplock bag with two silica gel packets and they were back to normal the next day. Hope this helps.

I have third gen airpods which I got only a few days ago for my birthday and yesterday night when I went to use the bathroom, the case fell in the toilet after falling out of my shorts pocket. I cleaned it out with alcohol and let it dry for the rest of the night and it worked fine. I was wearing the airpods themselves so they didn’t get wet.

my AirPods Gen’ 3 been through everything and the results are regretting the right pod is half filled with water to dis day and it js shakes around the pod giving out a crazy bass effect which is not suitable to me it has the same volume but the bass is bad and my left pod has good sound quality but it’s on quiet side and the sum be careful with your your AirPods because you’ll regret it later
