Of all our devices, wireless headphones are probably the ones that get dirty the fastest. The speaker and microphone grilles are particularly compact and sometimes difficult to access, especially with AirPods. That’s why Belkin has just unveiled a new kit that cleans even the smallest corners of Apple’s headsets. With, as a key, a better acoustics sold close to the value proposition of a new pair. This, because the dust is indeed likely to distort the audio stream.
For around twenty euros, this product is guaranteed compatible with the first, second and third generation of the “classic” AirPods. AirPods Pro and AirPods Max are not affected. In the box, there is a gel in plastic and a custom brush. A cloth is also included, but although it can be reused, this is apparently not the case for all the other accessories contained in the box. Shame.
More affordable alternatives at resellers
Unfortunately, Belkin’s new AirPods cleaning kit isn’t not offered for sale for French customers. We do not really know when this will be the case, but it happens that European consumers have to wait several weeks in this kind of situation.
However, it is possible to turn to other shops to take advantage ofrelatively equivalent items. With the advantage of being displayed at more affordable prices for some of them, or even being able to be reused several times. There are also cleaning kits compatible with the first generation AirPods Pro and the second generation AirPods Pro on the Amazon site in France.
Some good practices to limit the damage
With their wasp waist, it is worth remembering that the AirPods, regardless of the model, are still quite fragile. It is therefore better to refer to Apple’s official advice when it comes to refurbishing them, either for you or to prepare them for resale. Recommendations that also apply to wired headphones from the apple firm, the EarPods.
