Yep. Gross. But it served a purpose for this video.

Do every dissolving process upside down, let that wax drip out the mesh instead from mesh to the inside. Includes heating and wax solvent, probably even prying. I usually pick the wax with a needle, heat with hairdryer and would likely buy, just as you did, hearing aid cleaner.

Instead of using a brush to push the debris in, try using something like a solder sucker to pull it out. One with a silicone tip should be able to make enough contact to gently pull from a small area. It might also help clear out some of the fluid that is probably dampening the sound after cleaning.

Maaannnnn they really just outed Sarah like that. Hahaha

This explains so much! I always got comments from my family on how often I broke in ear headphones, suposedly not being careful enough... My suspition was already on erawax, as I purpousfully used one pair of headphones with EXTREME care and they still started having audio issues

I’ve had this issue a few times, and I’ve found I have to be tenacious with the cleaning, not only scraping the wax and brushing with alcohol, but then (the critical step) suctioning to pull wax from behind the mesh, sometimes with a repeat if unsuccessful. I also often need to clean the ports on the side too (full regimen).

I love Sarah on LMG's videos, but this was tough to watch I clean my buds pro eartips every two days to avoid this, but sometimes I forget and I have to clean the case itself with some cotton swab. Anyway, I guess regular maintenance is the key.

Im amazed at how much effort goes into these videos. keep it up!

I really can't express how well thought out each video is. Deciding how to perform certain cuts goes beyond the standard thought process for creating videos on KZread

I think this may have been the cause of the death of my first pair of AirPods, the left ear started getting a lot quieter than the right. Luckily I was under warranty and Apple replaced them for me in store. I really liked the grill that were added to the rubber tips on the AirPods Pro, it helps keep wax out more than nothing.

Sticky Tack (mounting putty) works wonders. Been using it for years to clean mine out. Just be careful and don’t press too hard or you’ll get sticky tack stuck in the speaker grill. Press gently and you’ll be amazed at how clean it gets.

Earwax building through the mesh can warp or collapse the speaker diaphragm is why. Clean real good, then sucking reforms the diaphragm sometimes.

Very nice video, just want to point one thing out. There's a possible issue with the testing right VS left AirPod like that. Some people might perceive sounds more clearly with one of their ears. Not only because of earwax build-up, but also because of hearing loss, or just genetically.

Qtip and clothespin combo works like a charm. Also remember to clean the other end where the microphone holes are

I use a thumbtack the scrape out the surface earwax but for the wax that was pushed through the mesh, I made an attachment to my vacuum that attaches around the front and it works pretty well

This was a really intersting vid. Working as a customer service rep for another company with wireless earbuds, we had this same issue. The only issue is that it manifest in a worse manner; Because we had active noise cancellation, the earwax would clog a microphone in the tip of the buds, and cause them to squeal. We've actually been telling our customers to wash the tip with hydrogen peroxide for the past 2 years (dab the tips, let them sit nozzle-facing-down for a few minutes, then brush them with a toothbrush soaked in hydrogen peroxide), to recover sound quality and stop the squealing.

The referb ones might sound louder because of a battery limit (same way apple nerfs iphone soc frequency when battery ages) and then it has nothing to do with the wash itself. So the takeaway should be clean frequently~ish and when they don't sound so good get referb/battery swaps

What a great video, constantly impressed by the channel. Great writing, the directing, storytelling and visuals are incredible. I am a huge fan already. Way to go Jonathan and LTT team.

Sadly I had to ditch airpods since I produce so much earwax, it's such a design flaw on Apples part to have the mesh EXTRA close like that so any and all earwax just gets hammered into the unit. The airpods pro does alleviate this a little bit with the tips, but it easily gunks up as well (they are user replaceable but I found that to be SUPER difficult)

Jonathan: I've failed, haven't I? Sarah: Yeeeah!

you could also remove the ear meshes if with a sharp tweezer. they wont go back on but they will sound brand new

It doesn’t help if you already have a pair of the original type but I have ones that are ear buds and since the wax has to travel all the way down the silicone nibs its allows you to clean the nibs before it gets on the mesh.

This video was just the inspiration I needed! I ended up heating up my AirPods enough to release the glue seal and then I just removed the mesh pieces. Now I’ll have to be extra careful to clean regularly, but these AirPods have been dead for 3 or 4 years now because of earwax issues and now they are finally fixed!

I like Pro’s removable ear tips, you can easily clean them and replace them when they get too loose and they cost like $7 for 3 pairs of tips or something like that? I’ve had mines for almost two years now and I’ve replaced tips once and still have a couple of extra tips lying around.

I’m not sure. I know that isopropyl alcohol is good for cleaning electronics (because it’s relatively non conductive). I’m not sure about peroxide though. Even if it is though, you shouldn’t use *any* liquid on a device that’s receiving power, even 0% still has a bit. And non conductive liquids can collect conductive materials like metals or sodium and turn them into a conductive liquid. But I’ve dumped many broken electronics in bowls of isopropyl including iPod nanos (which you can’t remove the battery from easily). And they worked fine afterwards. So proceed with caution? TL;DR probably not a great idea, but if they’re old and not worth much to you anymore, then I guess it should work?

with the regular apple earbuds, i push 2 holes in the mesh by pushing the mesh down with a toothpick because mine clog after less than 4 months. Sounds risky but it always instantly solves the problem, and i haven't had any of mine broken so i'm not worried about clogging the insides. I've done the same with rep airpods.

This is the main reason I love the airpods pro so much. Having replaceable mesh ear tips is should be standard. If apple switches the iphone and airpods pro to usb-c I'd buy them in an instant. Until then I'll be stick to my galaxy buds+.

Honestly one of the best reasons to get the pros. I haven't had any earwax issues in the 2 years ive had them

i produce a lot of earwax and went through several (i lost count) pairs of earpods. my ears also arent shaped appropriately for earpods so i'm always pushing them back in. in december i finally got fed up with it and got a pair of actual in ear monitors and a set of comply eartips and i'm much happier. still sound just as good

I wonder if pros (and rumored new design of default ones) solves this altogether. At least for me most of the wax is in the rubber detachable part

When I see wax start to build up on my AirPods, I just give my ears a quick cleaning and I don’t have any issues for weeks. Just take care of your ears and you won’t have this issue. PSA: don’t use q-tips to clean you ears!!! Q-tips can compact earwax deep into your ear and leave fibers in your ear from the q-tip, causing ear infections. There are many tools out there meant for ear cleaning, I personally use a metal ear cleaning kit.

This is actually why I switched to bone conduction headphones, and they have the added bonus of being waterproof and not falling out of my ears and getting lost. And I don't lose spatial awareness, and can just toss in a pair of disposable earplugs when I WANT to isolate myself. Way cleaner solution imo.

SOLUTION. STOP YOUR FACTORY LEVEL AIRPODS KR PROS FROM UPDATING. Low volume level is an issue due to Apple. I got my AirPods Pro in March of 2020 with the initial factory loaded firmware. (I forget the version code but I have nicknamed it the “reviewer firmware” ). Like everyone says to weeks later it updated beyond my control. Months passed and the right earbuds noise cancelation and transparency mode stopped working. At this point it had been updated a few times and the volume and sound quality had sucked since when I first got them. But one was broken. Took it into the Apple store for a Apple genius to take a look at. She couldn’t diagnose it due to the pandemic she barely touched the earbuds only did a battery test with them in the case but she offered to switch the broken one both but not also the case. I said sure let’s do that. While she was processing the individual swap for both earbuds and swapping serial numbers to the case I was not switching she told me to “Not use them first take them home put them in the charger and plug it in next to the phone to make sure they initialized correctly”. TO HELL EITH THAT I had an hour bus ride home and they charged to 100% before I even got on a bus. They SOUNDED GREAT as good as day one. Better than most wired headphone I have had that cost almost as much. I checked the firmware code and noticed it was at the “reviewer firmware”. I tried for days to keep them from updating but sadly they did while charging on my wireless pad while my phone was 20 meters away. They now suck again and I use them less. Basically there should be a lawsuit with Apple releasing this product with great sounding firmware then later nerfing the sound quality. Sound level have even gone down in the last update and no my AirPods Pro are well cleaned after and before every use without the use of wet whips for those who want to accuse me of damaging them while cleaning.

Wow, those were some disgusting close ups. If you really want to clean those, maybe try a ultrasonic cleaner and some isopropyl. Could still be cheaper than the service options, especially outside of the US.

plus the iso will dissolve the earwax. just submerge the tip far enough to be past the mesh, but not the whole thing, and let it work. look up what debrox is.

I'm 2 minutes in and I've had so many urges to wretch.

This is why I like my Skullcandy Indy fuels they have a thin mesh over the speaker tubes but it's easy to remove and clean everything off as needed. Plus I cannot for the life of me wear the Apple style earbuds. They jam into my ears and are kinda painful to wear

A can of air duster worked perfectly on mine and they were super quiet and now sound new and different damage anything

It´s sad that this podswap company exists. A) Apple should design it better B) People should just maintain their stuff.

A) earwax is pretty unavoidable for something going in your ear, B) that’s unrealistic, especially for something like this. And this is from someone who’s never really had issues with earwax in my earbuds
