Belkin AirPods Cleaning Kit
For iPhone users with AirPods, Belkin's new cleaning kit safely removes earwax buildup and restores acoustic performance without damaging them. Designed for the first, second, and third generations of AirPods, but not AirPods Pro, the cleaning kit includes a brush, wax softener, cleaning gel, and microfiber cloth.
Our ears constantly produce wax and naturally occurring oils as a cleaning mechanism. Some will inevitably build up on earbuds no matter how often we clean our ears.
The kit includes everything needed to bring AirPods back to life in an easy four-step process. It starts with applying wax softener, using a brush to scrub the mesh components gently, then using a sticky gel to remove any leftover wax and debris.
The AirPods Cleaning Kit is available to purchase from Belkin for $14.99.
