i somehow got my second pair of airpods pro dirty and they're 2 weeks old haha! thanks for that video i've broken my old ones cause of misleading cleaning videos that didn't say anything about how careful you should be and where to use the wet qtips and such.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

second pair?😀

[@zBalistiqRain]

@@kokushibo7179 yeah man i got moisture on my old ones and the sound of them got really really bad and bought new ones as they had just gone out of warranty. I would buy them again if they broke i use them all the time and they are simply The Best.

[@lopesmorrenofim]

This is something most people don’t notice, so be careful with it: there’s a mesh at the inner hole on the ear tips, don’t break it!

[@ProFitHearing]

Great tip! Thank you for commenting and watching.

[@kaiyatsi]

What happens if they break? cuz mine are gone

[@lopesmorrenofim]

@@kaiyatsi Your earwax will get onto the airpods, instead of the mesh. might encounter the same issues that you could in the 1st gen AirPods. I advise you to get new rubbers from apple themselves, they’re inexpensive

[@Poopdeck1015]

I think don’t get any earbuds until they are waterproof. Apple says “avoid cleaning mesh with wipes”. Dirt will fall into that on occasion so providing mesh openings defeats attempts to clean

[@gray9606]

You could probably use air cans if it gets bad enough

[@Blarnix]

You also should scrub the tips with alcohol regularly, if they’re turning yellow, do it more. Use compressed air to blow out the meshes if you can.

[@TheDiptakdutta]

Thanks! I followed the instructions and it actually helped.

[@ProFitHearing]

Glad it helped! Thanks for checking out the video.

[@Valianthus]

Thank you for the tips. I have just bought my first ever wireless earbuds and they are the Airpods Pro! After seeing how easy the rubber earbuds are removed and installed back, what is the chance that these rubber earbuds will get accidentally removed and stucked in the ear canal while you try to remove the Airpods Pro? I am kinda concerned now.

[@michael181k2]

No they won’t I’ve had them for a year now and it has never happened, the only time is when I didn’t place the ear tip on correctly but other than that it’s all good!

[@ProFitHearing]

Hope you are enjoying your AirPods Pro! The earbuds fit securely in place and should not accidentally fall off. They click into place. Thanks for watching!

[@vedesh6907]

Yea they never come off on their own, it’s very strongly stuck to the AirPods

[@Abi-il7cm]

I’ve slept with mine in several times and they’ve never come out in my ears. As long as you reattach them correctly you’re fine

[@randomman8775]

They’re hard to get off, the ear tip won’t just fall off it’s not some piece of Chinese junk

[@nudlezo.4627]

Thanks for the tips. I just got mine replaced (luckily for free since they were in the recall program I never heard about. And didn’t know there were machines to measure the AirPods pro audio) The ear tips of my old AirPods pro became very crackling and broke of. Is there a way to keep the ear tips supple?

[@ProFitHearing]

Surprised to hear they broke off! Avoid exposing AirPods Pro to any excessive heat (don't leave them in a hot car or direct sunlight). Thanks for watching the video!

[@nudlezo.4627]

@@ProFitHearing I’m wondering if I cleaned them with hand sanitizer or sanitizer spray, which is quite aggressive

[@lll8112]

The bottom part (where the charging contact pads are located )of my airpods pro are turning yellow yes that small piece of plastic at the bottom. I always clean them after using though and clean the case regularly. I don’t use any harsh chemical and any abrasive cleaning tools.

[@cottonbrad]

I used a non-toxic, non-hardening clay to clean the microphone mesh. Sometimes the mesh gets residue stuck in it from hair etc.

If there is no way to clean a truly dirty wire mesh, because you're not allowed to use any kind of fluid, then they are eventually going to get clogged and not work well. My transparency mode sucks now, and there doesn't seem to be very much I can do about it.
