Headphones are very personal, if not intimate, and AirPods in this sense, no exception. Therefore, it is customary to use them only and exclusively alone. After all, hardly anyone will want to put them on after someone else’s ears, from where – let’s put aside propriety – particles of earwax still get into the speakers, and maybe something worse. But, even if you keep your AirPods out of prying ears, the likelihood that they can clog with sulfur still persists, which means Apple had to figure out how to recognize it.
Earwax in AirPods is inevitable and needs to be identified somehow

As you can probably imagine, long-term use of AirPods can cause their speakers to clog with earwax and therefore sound worse. Users who did not know about it (and even if they did, then what?), Contacted Apple with complaints about a decrease in sound quality. But since it was impossible to recognize by external signs what exactly happened to the headphones, the service center specialist had to personally check them forisrhenium ”, which was not very pleasant.

AirPods just play music and iPhones identify clogging by quality

To make this process less frustrating and more hygienic, Cupertino has come up with a new tool to test AirPods for earwax contamination. At first glance, it looks a little unusual, but if you look closely, it becomes clear that the tool consists of a horizontal iPhone stand and an AirPods mount. When the headphones are inserted into the mount, their speakers are directed directly into the smartphone’s microphone. Then the music turns on, and special software reads the sound quality and verifies it against the established standard.

It is not yet very clear how the benchmark determines that the AirPods are just clogged up rather than sounding worse for other reasons. Still, in order to train him to identify the signs of clogged headphones sound, Apple would probably have to collect a lot of information, which the company most likely did not do. The reason for conducting such a large-scale study is too insignificant. But, as the Fudge insider assures, who has repeatedly confirmed a high degree of awareness of what is happening at Apple, the owner of clogged AirPods is returned back with a recommendation to clean.
Can AirPods be cleaned

Clean AirPods regularly but gently

Apple refuses to recognize AirPods as “disposable” earbuds, although it does not offer users any repair programs. Instead, the company recommends cleaning the headphone speakers from time to time to keep them from clogging. True, how often this needs to be done and how, in Cupertino they did not really explain, limiting themselves to general recommendations:
“Clean your AirPods and charging case regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not allow moisture to enter the openings and do not use aerosol cleaners, solvents or abrasive materials. “

In principle, it sounds logical. But, if we are talking about cleaning the earwax from the speakers, it will hardly be enough for us to simply wipe the surface of the headphones with a soft, lint-free cloth. In order for the cleaning to be effective, it is necessary to somehow penetrate the speaker and try – forgive me these details – to remove the accumulated sulfur. True, there is no guarantee that in this case the sulfur will not penetrate through the speaker grill into the AirPods case and cause them even more harm, no one will give you.
