I stopped watching the exactly same time you applied alcohol on the synthetic leather on the earpads, you really have a great idea of what you're doing, great tip, bro :) For the ones that doesn't one to simply halven the lifespan of your synthetic leather earpads (they deteriorate over time, it's something that just can't be avoided, but just don't apply alcohol on it hahaha), just clean it with a clean towel with a neutral soap and it should be fine (remember to remove the soap after with some clean water), that is more than fine to keep it clean and doesn't mess up with the very low lifespan the synthetic leather has :)

[@canedz4168]

Never clean leather with alcohol. whether it's synthetic or not. i learned this the hard way.

[@ThunderKat]

And since I use isopropyl alcohol to clean most things I knew that in advance, needs to be avoid it. Also this video need to be deleted for misinforming.

[@stoodgain]

@@ThunderKat omygad is this reall ? how to clean leather ear pads ? mine is hyperx alpha.

[@ThunderKat]

@@stoodgain Use micro-fiber, same you use for glasses (extremely cheap on a local store), no products required but if for some reason they get too dirty use soap and water, and clean them the same way you would with your skin. When the micro-fiber gets dirty just clean it the same way you would with your clothing but give it a bit extra rinse. PD: If you only planning on cleaning them one or twice a year for good measure, alcohol won't hurt them, isopropyl alcohol mix with water is even less harmful but on a daily base avoid it at all cost. Give it a try, I was impress by how well micro-fiber deals with sweat and dirt and you can also clean your mouse the same way without messing around with the rubber grip they have on the sides.

[@traeneversober]

but how do i remove the odor from it?

[@ThunderKat]

@@traeneversober Sound a bit extreme, I would just give them a normal clean same way you do with your shoes at that point, put it on a cup with soap, rise them many time with fresh clean water using the same cup and well, it might take all day to see them going dry completely since you should avoid direct Sun light, use cold water for the process and don't let them stay on soap for more than a minute or two. After that make sure to get that micro-fiber to clean them daily after use just to avoid that happen again. You can buy replacement if the headset are a well known brand, this should make easy fix to the problem of time-out during that drying period. Just threat them the same way you would with a plastic bag, avoid reactive chemicals, hot water or direct exposure to Sun light. Other than that you see this type of materials use on cheap shoes and chairs, ain't something unique or anything. I speak español so don mind any mispellins

[@TVEE]

Don't use dish washing detergent or tidepods. They're for dishes, they can work but you are better off using cleaning powder or liquid you put into your washing machines for clothing, especially since it is primarily fabic based.

[@mariantoma951]

10% saying how you clean your headphones, 40% repeating that information, 50% recommendations to watch your other videos. even at 2x speed it bored me. maybe don't force yourself to make clips longer than 10 minutes if the subject won't allow it

[@jonthestreet]

Nah, I get paid more when my vids are 10+ min...I only repeated 40%? Dang I need it around 50-60%. That’s what commercials do. They repeat over and over cuz it works. I’m not saying people are dumb, but if something works, don’t fix it...and I recommend u watch all my vids 👍 ❤️ u

Just use disinfectant wipes. Alcohol on leather pads will make the leather dry up and crack.

[@patekphilippe249]

@@melon7592 LULW

[@Sheenz]

are baby wipes also okay to use?

[@christianabad9982]

I tried alcohol before on my leather ear cups and my leather wallet. I only learned by now that alcohol is terrible in any leather because they crack more quickly than usual. Better use disinfectant sprays or wipes.

[@joerico9461]

Try new dryer sheets they work great. Roll them up tight and put on the inside of the headphone cushion and wrap them up as well when not in use after you clean them.

[@spinster4000]

once a month I take my pads off and throw them in the washing machine with a few extra things and turn it on, then toss them in the dryer. Works amazing just takes forever

[@seojunhan6502]

Guys just sprat disinfectant dpray on a towel or a paper towel and wipe it on your synthetic leather. Its easier and quick, just pick some nice smelling disinfectant spray

[@glockworks]

Just so you guys know you could get replacement ear pads for free if you own hyperx cloud alpha. All you have to do is contact their support

[@amateruss]

My Hyper X has an extra set of ear pads that look like the Velour pads in this video.

[@fredzep01]

The only thing you need to do is wipe the oil and sweat, with a damp cloth, after use. And on occasion give them a little, lite clean, with unscented detergent free soap.

[@princexiao4669]

it's amazing to see someone destroy you hyperx cloud mix white earpads and finding to replacement after :D

man i didnt clean them in 4 years now and u made me look inside its disgusting how much shit is in mine

[@peepopray7214]

guys, u can also try using baby tissue. works for me

[@AidanCaDrago]

What about the cloth on the inside? I have fake leatherear pads on my Hyper X cloud stinger and the cloth on the part inside has a gross brown spot.

[@breenelson933]

Isoprololololol has me rolling 🤣

[@chickenpower5732]

I'd like to point out that the laundry machine uses a hell of a lot more water than that bowl or whatever a normal person would use, who knows how strong tide pods are so I would highly discourage the use of a tidepod. Especially since there's not an easy way to control concentration without using an excess amount of water. At least with regular laundry detergent or bleach, you can control the amount.

[@TimeTravelingAltair1337]

don't use clorox or any other alcohol wipes unless you want to dry out the leather and have ripped pieces fall off

[@bossyobro426]

synthetic 👏 leather

[@thomasnielsen8904]

Do you use hot or cold water ?

[@uxsherlocklondon]

Use leather cleaning wipes for leather. My Bose NC 700 have leather ones and it is best using leather wipes but you should take them off the headphones and then clean them inside out.

[@cmdrriotz5283]

Never use alcohol. I'm learning that alcohol is HORRIBLE for these ear pads. They dry it out and mine are peeling off so bad now.

[@dgjm7129]

have you tried the silica gel method. its cheap, reusabe and cnab e used is multiple times without any wiping junk. heck you can find sented silica gel to give your headphones a good smell

[@danalex5458]

Did they send it new headset or just ear pads? You said old headset

[@fredzep01]

Alcohol is a great way to turn Black leather to grey.

The hyper cloud x (the first one) has real leather. But the new ones do not?

[@JsoProductionChannel]

@@billyalvizo3808 just buy and use baby wipes. Should work fine. I have never used it though. Mine are almost 3 years old and are still find. I have only used the leather pads.

[@Atlas.2k]

Putting the ear cups back for hyperx heaphones is pain in the ass

After taking it off and on for a handful of times, I’ve gotten it down easy now! Just takes practice. Like a condom 😬👍👊

[@Atlas.2k]

@@jonthestreet i dont take off my condom, just put it in the washing machine ;)

[@Rick-ep3es]

Will sanitizer work ?

[@Onficialry]

If you put alcohol on your headset earpad, it's okay right now, but it causes cracks and damage afterwards. The habit of using alcohol should stop

[@sd2dude]

Oof, you don't want detergent powder residue on the headphones. Better to stick to liquid detergent

[@sameer-yg5sl]

wouldnt the alcohol ruin the leather too lol

[@ionseven]

Yeah he just grabbed some stuff that cleans some stuff. No research on long term use at all.

[@canadiandude7]

Real leather is dried out and destroyed by alcohol, not sure about synthetic leather but I believe a leather moisture would help with this.

[@Riichmusiic]

So bad that not a single video of the white headphones. I am just white and very dirty. I don’t know how I can clean the padded parts especially I don’t know.

Can someone plz tell me the problem and wat i should do plz, I just had these for a month so i dont want to waste more money on another headset

[@denji5368]

Your ear pads are already starting to flake maybe because the alcohol dried it up so much. Mine was 11 months before the cracks appeared and it was itchy so I just replaced it with $15 earpads. Next time I'll just try washing it on soap and water instead of alcohol.

[@tonystark-pe3mf]

Bayek ye I think the alcohol is making it crack faster imma just wash with water. Please tell me how the soap and water goes

Use new dryer sheets rolling up tight and set on the inside of a cushion. And wrap around using Sheets for each side leave for a few days works pretty good.
