      They have sold MILLIONS of them.

      They’re very popular. If the battery life was better, i would’ve gotten them too.

      There are a lot of look a like, here in the budget store they have 2 pairs of apple designs, 1 pair of fresh and rebels with 1 on 1 design that’s always sold out for 14,99.
      So then you have there flat versions and a pair of Grundig beats running big case buds for 14,99
      But yeah….the diagnosis is used more. But yeah the rest of the world use galaxy bud designs and the have sutch easier to clean designs probably and chancheble eartips!
      Lg for the win here

    This guy is joking right? Apple’s requirements are simply not good enough. His Airpods case was still disgustingly filthy. He barely made a difference. On another note though. WHO LETS THEIR BUDS AND CASE GET THAT GROSS!

      It’s easy for the case to get dirty if it’s white. It shows up fast after some days in a fuzzy jacket pocket or book bag. I am going to deep clean my old AirPods soon before I give them to some one and I’ll try that tool and some 90% iso alcohol. Honestly apples suggestions are no more than a wipe down with a damp microfiber cloth. That does not disinfect it or get rid of bacteria or gunk. The best option is dry brush and dry clean first. Get rid of debris and then a dab or two of alcohol on a tip and don’t press just wipe.

    • Nordin

      @CPPC Tech I have Galaxy Buds live in white. Had them now for nearly 2 years. Still as clean as new. You just have to clean your products and also take care of your own personal hygiene. Just don’t be a dirty person.

    I love the tool @6:00 that’s about the coolest thing for cleaning these. The rest is common sense

    I bought a pair of Shure Se535 over a decade ago and they still sound fantastic

    I use an used oral b brush head to on silicon tips to remove ear wax and stuff that vacuum the AirPods Pro itself and wiping it with a cloth

    Bruh did he just clean his AirPods with a towel that was soaked in motor oil out of the garage? ????

    • Tebobo

      April 26, 2022 at 3:18 pm

      Bruh didn’t know you can look inside the fabric in the towel from a video. You must have some kind superhero vision to see through the video without touching or smelling it to call out motor oil. This is one of the stupidest comment I have ever seen.

    • Brandon

      April 26, 2022 at 3:34 pm

      @Tebobo Bruh you don’t joke very often with people do you?

    • Monsiu

      @Brandon yes he doesn’t

    Apple overcharges for everything and the iDrones fall for it.

    Alcohol. Prep. Pad.
    Safe, effective, sensible.

    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.

      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 ????

    Q-Tips FTW lol

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