Heh, thanks for the reminder to clean my buds!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

For this and other reasons, I'm a big fan of bone-conduction systems.

So how do you best clean your earbuds?

Google's instructions, linked from the article:

https://support.google.com/googlepixelbuds/answer/9112670?hl=en&ref_topic_7544331

tl;dr: Remove eartips, wipe gently with a lint-free cloth, add a small amount of water if you're having trouble scrubbing anything (without getting water inside). If you have Pixel Buds Pro, they also recommend using an adhesive putty if you're still having trouble removing any debris with the cloth.

cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol

Google recommends not using alcohol. Alcohol is good for cleaning PCBs and charging contacts on devices, but not so great for the plastic body. It can also damage the silicone eartips.

A dry lint-free cloth, or with a small amount of water if there's some gunk that still won't come off.

My favourite thing to do is take the eartip off and kinda lightly suck on the actual speaker thing, like a weird straw. Makes them sound like new and gets dust out from inside

Bro that's disgusting.

That's how you end up with Hepatitis A through Z.
