Belkin this week announced the launch of a new AirPods cleaning kit, designed to remove earwax and dirt buildup from the headphones to restore acoustic performance.
The kit is designed for AirPods 1, 2 and 3 models, as these headphones do not have silicone tips that protect them from exposure to earwax while in the ears.
The Belkin Kit includes a cleaning brush, earwax softener solution, gel cleanser, and microfiber cloth. It appears to be designed to be a single-use kit as the cleaning components come in small quantities, and the cleaning gel in particular says it should be used within two hours of opening.
According to Belkin, wax and dirt buildup can impact sound quality, and the kit is able to remove up to 99% of materials that clog AirPods. The cleaning components are designed to be mess-free, and Belkin claims they won’t harm AirPods.
The AirPods Cleaning Kit is available on Belkin’s website for $14.99.
