It didn’t take long for wireless earbuds<\/a> to become ubiquitous<\/a>. Apple’s AirPods launched back in September 2016, joining notable true wireless headphones from Jabra, Sony, Samsung, and others. Shortly after, they became the go-to choice for many of us when listening to music, podcasts, and streaming services on our phones and tablets.<\/p>\n

But wireless earbuds can get very dirty very quickly, because not only are we using them a lot, but we take them everywhere: to work, on public transport, on flights, and everywhere in between. This is especially true if you’re using them to cancel out noise in a busy office \u2013 or are simply working from home at the same time as family or roommates. This means they will come into contact with ear wax, oils, and skin cells. Hygiene aside, you should clean your earbuds (and their charging case) because it may result in better-sounding, longer-lasting headphones.<\/p>\n

Here’s how you can do that quickly and efficiently. If you’re still a wired headphone holdout (or tempted by DAC<\/a>-capable buds) most of our cleaning tips hold true \u2013 and you don’t have to worry about refreshing a charging case.<\/p>\n
