Bro you've saved me two times already. I did this tutorial like two years ago and it worked perfectly. Today i realized how filthy my headphoens had become, and i had no solution, until i remembered this video. Thank you 🙌🙌
Lol you're welcome
I love that lil computer guy ❤️
Hey that's me! :D
production quality is really great!
Thank you so much! Mold had grown on my earpads and i was afraid of breaking the headset by trying to remove them, but by watching your video i was able to remove them safely and wash them! I didnt lose the headset because no mold had grown inside it, just on the pads
Oof, mold, I'm glad you removed it
Disgusting!!!! But i respect the gamer in you......
Wtf
Long story short: my city is extremely humid and hot (I live in brazil) and mold is a very serious problem in the entire town. My PC had broken and I hadn't used it (or the headset) in a long time.. I had cleaned the earmuffs with alcohol before putting it aside, and i tried to keep it in a ventilated area, but mold still got to it because it was affecting multiple furniture in my house. I was able to clean everything with this guide and I will keep doing my best to keep everything mold free around my house!
Or you could remove them and buy new pads, rather than cleaning mouldy hanging pads
Great guide! Will try this in the future. :)
Great video! I cleaned my headphones using ur method
great and simple video to follow, thank you :)
I have my logitech g430 headphones for about 2 years since my sister gave it to me. My sister had it for about 4 years. And its still in one piece. Just a bit filthy. They actually hold up pretty good for me 😉
Good for you, I find the plastic to be really cheap tbh. My headphones broke after ~2 years of normal use
Just did this to clean my logitech g733 earpads, and they came out nice!!@ thank you so much!
perfect guide, worked like a charm!
Thanks a lot dude my sister finally wont complain about my headset being dirty.
So I did what you showed to my turtle beach 700 gen 2 max pads. I mixed it in with 2 pot pans though. Luke warm (mixed with soap) & temperate water. Hand rinsed them or dipped them while finger pressing them. Then taking them out and handing pressing them again only to then fully dip rinse them in the temperate water. Then thoroughly finger pressed them through a towel. Then I started Hanging them on a plastic hanger on a door handle with only the heat of one of my unheated rooms while hanging off of a hanger gently put on of course.
Did I miss any steps?
Thank you very much for this video. I was wondering, are the ear cup cushion things on your headset foam or leatherette? I ask because my headset is a Logitech G432 and it has leatherette ear cushion things, but the black shiny stuff on the outside is wearing off and whenever I take my headset off it usually leaves little black particles around my ears from the ear cushions. I couldn't really tell if the ones on your headset are made of something different (since yours are blue and mine are black) or if yours were leatherette and all the shiny stuff already wore off. Also, how long does it usually take for the ear cups to dry once you finish washing them? And are the ear hinges breaking a common issue with Logitech G430 headsets? The right ear hinge part is broken on my headset and I had to duct tape it to the headband part. I thought it might just be from me being a bit too rough with my headset but if it's a common thing with these headsets then I'd bet the issue is more with the headset itself.
Thanks Canti! I just did this with some yaxi pad that I use with the koss kph40s
you deserve more subs my man
Hello, can i use this method with razer barracuda X?
Thank youuu so muchhh I'll clean mine at the semester break lol
ewwww do it now babe!
@@aktchungrabanio6467 this was 1week ago, I alrd did😗
Thanks mate😁
Thanks for this my razer kraken were getting disgusting
Thanks for this comment, I was unsure if this would work on razers's!!!!
thank you my friend
Thank you so much!
I have Astro A10s, do you know how to clean them?
NICE VIDEO MATE!
Thanks I started gaming again but my headphones were dirty this vid was so helpful and worked like a charm I’ll always use this method
my g733 where getting very gross thank you for this guide! i was really lost on what to do:)
Thanks soo much man
Thank you kind sir
I had to go through the cleaning process twice to really get them clean but i think thats cuz they got makeup on them too lol. I think maybe dawn dishsoap would work better but might be more harsh on them... anyway it worked great! like new now! Thanks!
Hey how do you think i should clean Astro a50s the earpads have a magnetic pad stuck to them
I think in the same way? You can get a magnet in soapy water, it should matter much if you dry it well before leaving the earpads to dry
does this work with memory foam? i have logitech g733 and im trying to get rid of the sweat smell
worked w/ mine!
thank you sooo much!!!!
Glad to help
What are your recommendations for cleaning the inner foam on a headset such as an Arctis 7? Would really love to sort those out as well
Kinda late to this comment but uh I’m pretty sure you just do the same instructions.
is this safe for arctis 7 wireless?
Thanks!
Bro can u help me with Alienware AW310H I would really appreciate please 🙏
thank u!!!!
thank you very much :)
Thank youuu
Not every hero wear cape
thank you
Got any ideas on cleaning headphone driver cuz its covered in cloth and i wanna clean it cuz its duuuuuuurty (hyperx cloud revolver s)
Wait, the driver ITSELF it's dirty?
how did u clean the top of the headset like were ur head is at ?
I said it later in the video. Wet it with your finger, put some liquid soap on the finger, rub it around, rinse still with the finger and then dry it with a towel
@@VRavTech thank u so much
How did you put the earpads back on the headset? Is there any special glue for this kind of stuff? Great video BTW :D
No glue, I just did what I did while taking them off, but in reverse lol
So alligned the lip, put in back on.
I understand that it might be different on different headphones (for example, the headphones I have now, the Samson sr850 are a pain to put back on).
What headphones do you have?
@VRav I have astro A50 gen 3, I cleaned the earpads without the magnet cause the earpads fell off from the headset a while ago so now I want to put them back like it was originally
@@Dvygzdid you manage to do it?
thanks
Do you know a good way to clean these if you can’t take them off the headset? I got a nice Corsair headset thrown in when I bought a computer off of Facebook marketplace but I don’t want to wear it until it’s been cleaned
What specific model is it?
🤢cant wait to clean them tomorrow 💀thank you
Nice considering we have the same headset
So how do you clean the upper part? Don't know what to call it but it is the part that connects the headset
Honestly I just wet it with my finger, then put a little tiny bit of soap on my finger and cleaned it this way.
Since there is no way of removing it, it was the only way,
I have a limited edition cod one does the ear pads come off and can you put them back on without glue
I'm not sure. Do you have a specific model I could look up maybe?
@@VRavTech well I think I can I just don't know how to put them back on without some kind of adhesive
I have a question
Do you have any idea how the process is to remove the pads off of an Edifier w820nb?
I looked in youtube and in reddit but there's no content yet about it - care and cleaning
Thank you. I appreciate your being active for your subscribers and in the comment section 😁
I honestly have no idea.
Have you tried to see if there's a thin lip on the border?
@@VRavTech yeah I can feel one through the padding.
Does this mean that I can use the same technique?
@@wrlewdkonsepts4001 possibly, see what you can do
@@VRavTech thaanks. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply 😁
@@wrlewdkonsepts4001 have you managed to clean them, what was the result?
Will this work with a turtle beach because I saw on ur headset the pads got holes mine doesnt will it get damaged?
It's the recon 50x
I'm sorry, what holes are you talking about? If you're talking about the ones on the pad itself, it's just a different material. Mine are cloth ear pads, the ones on your headset are synthetic leather. They will be fine.
Just don't tumble them dry when you squeeze the water out while cleaning and, instead, compress them from both sides, so you don't stress that synthetic leather too much.
Hope that helps!
i think the turtles can wash up on their own
@@VRavTech yes bro thank you so much this helps alot
@@patcher2619 glad to help!
will it affect the leather inside the earpads? Im using a Steelseries so I'm afraid it would peel off the leather inside the earspads
It technically shouldn't? If the leather is falling off, it will fall of even if you don't wash it
dont wanna break my blackshark v2 does it wrk on those?
Yea, they seem to be make of synthetic leather. Just take out the pads and follow my steps
What do you do using the q tips alcohol and toothpicks
I cleaned the inside of the ear cup, the part that's attached to the headphones. You can scrape out all the dead skin and other stuff that might be there
can i use this method for memory foam??
I am honestly not sure, do some more research, I can't guarantee anything :(
wow thanks, I found like 2 spoonfuls of dandruff stuck in there
Hey! how can i clean my (Cosmic Byte Gaming Headphone GS430 Switch to GOD MODE) coz its earpads is not removeable i think so will u help me?
u can see that in amazon the military pattern headphones.....the earpads have some black stains .........plz help
Hello! I searched on CZcams to see if someone made some teardowns of that exact model but I can't find anything. One thing I saw tho is that a lot of cosmic byte headphones have kind of a "clip-on mount". For example:
Look at this video czcams.com/video/TMmaIZyp6Bc/video.html and go to 4:10. You'll see that he's making lever on the earcup to unclip that. Maybe your model have a similar system? I've seen it on other Cosmic Byte models as well
@@VRavTech ya i have watched this but am bit scared of opening the earpad coz if something else happen then the game is over
@@VRavTech btw thx for ur helping sir😇
@@dhruvrajput3608 well, you're saying that your earpads have black spots on them. For me, it's worth a try
i have a turtle beach stealth 600 and the part won’t come off
You can see in this video around 0:50 how the pad should come off by pulling gently
czcams.com/video/Iy05Ay9rlac/video.html
Thx
You're welcome bro
what if the one that cannot be removed from the headphone?
Basically as Brian said, but it's a bit strange that you cant remove the earpads. May I ask what headphones do you have? Brand and model
@@VRavTech onikuma k1b
@@VRavTech onikuma k1b
@@AceHangin. oh yea I recognize the shape, they're probably no brands, branded by different companies. Anyway, I'm 99% sure there's a way to plop them off
yeah same i have an astro a40 and my ear pads can’t get removed
I have other headphones, much less deep. And I don’t understand how to clean the middle, the mesh is glued to the headphones, they are not part of the ear pads.
Unfortunately some manufacturers glue some parts together, there's not much you can do if it's just glued
thanks so much my headset fell off my head onto the bathroom floor near the toilet and they looked distgusting
those are the headphones of a seasoned gamer
I mean, they have "I haven't showered in 3 decades" energy tho
Lol
Can i do it on mine (eksa e 900)
Probably yes, as long as you can take off the earpads
thanks, mate, I should order the black color instead for my Logitech g435.
the cyan color looks so nasty after being used for 4 months. I want to use it for outside activity but shit looks too dirty lol.
I'd go with black too, but keep in mind that the pad will get dirty regardless, EXPECIALLY with you doing outdoor activities with them on. Wash them anyway every one in a while, it's like wearing a sweat band and never cleaning it ever
hey danta, do you know how to remove the headband of the g435? I've been trying to figure it out because they are looking hella nasty
You can't, if not by disassembling them I suppose
@@lucamateiciortan2965 no u can't remove it, i saw a thread from reddit. logitech is dumb enough to make it not removeable
Hey at least they didn't glue down the earpads like some Astros did
Does this work with Astro a50s?
Yes!
This works with Razer Blackshark?
Yes
Who would say that being 4 days without shower gonna have consequences to my poor Corsair 💩
wwwww
Can i do this with Arctis 3 ear pads?
Yes you can
Own natural habitat 😂
Will this work on my razer kraken?
Yes it will
can i do this with the logitech g435? im scared that i might break them
if the earpad detatches, yes
@@VRavTechit does, but theres these plastic things inside the earpads and im just worried, but thank you
Can i do on hyperx cloud 2?
Of course!
I just threw my steelseries earpads in the washer on delicate mode, they werent dirty just a slight smell i wanted to get rid of. I dried them in the dryer and they are just fine
You can do that too if that works for you, I wanted to do a comprehensive guide for everyone. Not everyone got a drier. I dunno about the US, I heard it's very common, but here in Italy for example, basically no one has one. That may works with decent pads, lower quality pads might shit themselves in a drier, nothing is softer than our own hands after all
Im soaking my steelseries earpads, dur to the smell, because omg the amount of times my family used my headset 🤦♀️
Would this work for razer nari ultimate?
Yes. The pads seems easy to remove and reattach
will this work on the logitech g733
For sure!
Here's a video on how to replace them
czcams.com/video/5OhFjub-aGw/video.html
what is the average time to dry?
Bro I dunno, it depends a lot...just touch them and see if they're dry
Mine doesn't have a detachable foam. How to clean this safely??
What's your headphones model?
@@VRavTech Clam Headphones Fresh n' Rebel
I couldn't find much, BUT, based on this video, it looks like there's a plastic plate they wrap around and back, so maybe follow this video, but, disclaimer, I don't know the headphones well
czcams.com/users/shorts0uXySHjVyMk?feature=share
Can I do this to my headband as well?
What headphones do you have?
@@VRavTech I dont know which ones they have, but do you suppose that I do this to the headband on my Astro A10 headset?
Yes you probably can
Beware, this will ruin MEMORY FOAM. but this is ok with regular foam cushions.
how to clean memory foam tho
What about the part where the sound comes from?
Uhm, what about it?
can i leave it on the window?
Yea? Just, don't make them fly away lol. I wouldn't leave them in direct sunlight tho
For leather just simply use a dis infrecting wipe, nothing specific
Wow u have a k1b with the same color i have
K1b?
Can i do it with astros a10
I've seen a videos about the Astros A10, and the pads seems to have a sticker and they're attached directly to the plastic. You can take them off and wash them, sure, but I have no idea how you'd put them back :/
@@VRavTech would using a finger, just like for the headband, work for the ear pads of the astro A10?
@@SJ_GamingTV maybe yes? Remember, there's electronics under the plastic, so be careful to not make any water go into that. If you wanna be extra careful, leave them out to dry for longer. Remember that water doesn't kill electronic on itself, it's electricity + water that is fatal...that said, still, try your best to avoid water going in places it shouldn't
My muffs don't come off what do I do
Heyo, what headphones do you have?
@@VRavTech astro a10 for ps
If you have the old astro A10, unfortunately, they're held in place with a sticker. You need to find a way to replace said sticker if you want to clean them with this method. You can see someone take it off in this video. czcams.com/video/N_TzOkJMP_Q/video.html
As bad as it sounds, I don't think astro ever intended you to clean the pads, and just want you to buy more pads and replace them rather than clean them. I'm sorry but it's just what it is
excuse me
Why not in direct sunlight?
You could heat them too much and damage them, especially if they're black in colour
@@VRavTech oh cool
Thanks very much
I sub to u yesterday :)
Will they mold
Thank you computer monitor man
You're welcome blue brain thing
Can you do the same for the sades 807 headset too?
Yes you can, you just need to find a way to remove the earpads
Is it safe to dry them with a hairdryer?
Technically yes? Just like, don't let them heat up too much. I showed them like this because pads are of various quality, and cheap pu leather pads really don't like heat lol
My dumbass havent clean my headphone since 2016. Put it in soapy water, the water turn black and leave black residue. Tq btw
how tf does that even happen
With me being a neglecting idiot and also leaving the headphones on a shelf, uncovered, for a year
omg that ear cheese almost made me throw up
Hey, I warned you :P
Can i take off my earpads, I have a h3, cosmic byte . It just arrived today but the cushions are disgusting
Yes you can
czcams.com/video/TMmaIZyp6Bc/video.html
This is the only video I could find, sorry if you can't speak the language, but if you go to minute 4:00 you can see how he removes the earpad. It's held in place by 4 clips and the lip around it's very long
Ironically I can speak the language anyways thank you sm
Hey, that's even better lol
Nova serisi çöp Arctis prime tavsiye ederim
thanks
