Review: Belkin AirPods Cleaning Kit — restore your AirPods for only $15

IMG_7575My daughter uses an older pair of AirPods, and she mentioned the other day that her speakers no longer seamed very loud. At first, I thought that it might be time to invest in a new pair since she uses them often, but then I remembered that Belkin recently released an AirPods Cleaning Kit. For only $15 (on Amazon), the kit is supposed to clean up the gunk that builds up on the speaker grill of a pair of AirPods, which can interfere with speaker quality. My daughter tried it on her AirPods, and she immediately noticed a substantial improvement, declaring that her AirPods were fixed.

The Belkin AirPods Cleaning Kit contains everything that you need, and it is very simple to use. I can say with confidence that even a 15-year-old can figure it out.

The box provides you with a cleaning cloth that you can use as a work surface. Put two drops of solution on the speaker grill, wait 60 seconds, then use the brush to break loose any gunk that has built up. Then, apply the Cleaning Gel to the grill; it sticks to the gunk, and when you pull off the Cleaning Gel, the gunk is removed with it.

Although I was tempted to show you before-and-after photos, nobody needs to see what my daughters’ AirPods looked like before. Suffice it to say that they looked considerably cleaner afterwards.

If the cleaning procedure is insufficient after you do it once, the instructions say that you can do it again, but one time was enough for my daughter. She did, however, repeat the procedure on the other openings of the AirPods, which I presume are part of the microphone system.

Note that this cleaning kit is designed for any generation of the AirPods, but this is not made for the AirPods Pro. Note also that this cleaning kit works for one cycle of cleaning each of your AirPods, although as noted above, you can clean more than once during the cycle if necessary. If you decide to clean your AirPods again in the future, you'll need another $15 kit.  Hopefully, the cleaning that my daughter did will last a long time.

If you want to clean up your AirPods, especially if the gunk on them is affecting the listening experience, I can recommend this cleaning kit.
