I used a Q‑tip and now they sound muffled ☠️ I’m on the verge of exploding rn
I tried the dry q‑tip and it still damaged my air pods, thanks a lot
hi!what kind of tool, where to buy what is it called?thank you!
If you listened to everything apple said you’d be broke. Shut up and clean
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.
Worked like an absolute charm thankyou!
I did this and now my airpods sound doesn’t work on the right and the left is low
What a worthless video your a liberal
An electric toothbrush works really well — up to you whether you use the same head as you use for your teeth
This thing is one the reasons we need dislike button count back… it’s bad.
Just dropped my phone on my face 😣
OMG!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍SO HELPFUL
You should be in jail for this absolute nothing burger of a post you somehow consider content, matter of fact I’m calling the cops.
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.
This video was more of a waste of my time than anything I’ve experienced
I use alcohol and cotton swabs. It dries and disinfects fast.
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.
I tried to clean it with a cleaning putty but I might pushed it too hard and it stuck in and I don’t know how to get them out. 😰😰Any suggestions?
No video ever shows how to clean the charging contacts deep inside the case. Why don’t you show this? They get so dirty pods stop charging.
This is ridiculous. Simply reading the Apple brochure. Wow.
I am a supplier, pleaI am a supplier, please contact me if you need
They still stayed dirty
This good with dirty out the outside inside you need tool
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?
Using Qtips splashed with a little bit of rubbing alcohol did the trick for me!
For anywhere . Bite off a nail , clean the mesh with nail , blow crap away , perhaps wipe. , suck on it hard. Done.
Why would you ever use sandpaper ahahaha
6:38 very informative!
They made AirPod mesh that way to get more bucks per pod
