Google will soon remind you to clean your filthy Pixel Buds
It’s been just over a year since Google released the Pixel Buds Pro, and in that time, hopefully, you’ve remembered...

It's absolutely disgusting to me just how many people fail to properly and consistently clean their earbuds. To me, wearing dirty earbuds is equivalent to rewearing dirty socks.
I clean my earbuds everytime I finish wearing them and it's honestly become such a chore. Having hardware designs that are easily cleanable are so important. I really wish earbud manufacturers would stop putting hard right angles and recessed charging contacts into the body of earbuds because they just attract hard to clean gunk. Also, eartips should be round bulbs instead of a mushroom shape, that way it doesn't accumulate gunk on the underside of the eartips, requiring you to tediously invert the mushroom just to get all the earwax out.
I think every single wear might be a little overkill. I clean mine maybe once a week and barely see any earwax/gunk buildup.
That effort is probably better spent on just cleaning your ears when you shower everyday.
Haha, I do clean my ears everyday. I just have very oily ears.
Drip some hydrogen peroxide into your ear while laying on your side. Wait 5 minutes (it feels amazing). Turn your head so it drips out onto a paper towel and allow it to drain completely. You will see how clean your ears really were. I only dry the ear with a swab mostly on the outside while it's draining. Don't do this more than once a year. It feels like a seltzery orgasm in your ears.
Nah man. I saw people dropping their buds on the ground. In the subway. Into the ear canal they go!
This is how you get hearing aids.
What happens then if you drop your hearing aids on the subway and plop them back in your ear?
