To clean AirPods Max ear cups, follow these steps:
- Remove the ear cushions gently as they are magnetically attached.
- Prepare a cleaning solution by mixing a small amount of mild liquid detergent with lukewarm water (about 1 teaspoon detergent in 1 cup of water).
- Dip a microfiber cloth or lint-free cloth into the solution and wring out excess liquid so it is damp, not soaking wet.
- Gently wipe the ear cushions with the damp cloth to clean off dirt and oils. Avoid submerging or soaking the cushions.
- After cleaning, use a separate cloth dampened with fresh water to wipe off any detergent residue.
- Dry the cushions thoroughly using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Lay them flat to dry for at least a day before reattaching to the headphones.
- For the headband and frame, use a slightly damp cloth with the same cleaning solution and wipe gently, avoiding excess moisture near openings.
- Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or alcohol on the ear cushions. Alcohol wipes can be used on other exterior surfaces but not on the mesh or ear cushions.
- Reattach the dried cushions by aligning them with the ear cups; magnets will snap them back into place.
Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene, sound quality, and prolongs the lifespan of AirPods Max ear cups.
