    Thanks for the video, I’ve had my airpods go through the wash probably 5 times and they still do their job, yeah the quality isn’t as good as brand new bc of the fact but still, highly resilient!

    Thank you for your video and for the time you took to share it, I would like to give you a note if you allow me, it is not good to blow electrical devices with your mouth, the air you blow comes out with particles of saliva with salt and that is not good, they are corroded by salt.
    Thanks again for your video.

    • @DIYGEEKTEXAS
      @DIYGEEKTEXAS  Před rokem +3

      @John Hoffman Hi John, great point about the salt in saliva causing corrosion. You got me thinking... and I think a Ear Wax bulb aspirator like this would work: amzn.to/3nnFScr

    23:50 “when it’s clean you should see white like that” bro it’s not clean it’s just that your mesh that protects the opening is messed up and it’s gone. It’s usually black mesh in normal like the other openings.

      It is scratched into the plastic, if you insist on removing, probably go with 400 grit sandpaper? Kind of risky though of sanding off too much plastic. Becareful!

      @DIYGEEKTEXAS  Před rokem +1

      We use 65% proof alcohol (rubbing / cleaning alcohol). Alcohol at this strength does not break the airpods (I have clean my airpods like this about once per month).

    • @snorttroll4379

      Isopropanol. The ignorants call it alcohol or rubbing alcohol. U definitely do not use ethanol

    These are an improvement over the 1st gen buds. czcams.com/users/postUgkxK5mc3yw4xA7Mf2j6k6n1Uqv_KUgrKdeM Pros: The fit is fantastic. This is the biggest plus. They stay in my ears when running and become unnoticeable. They are tight but comfortable. The sound quality is about the same as the 1st gen buds. They pair more easily with my LG G8 ThinQ and immediately reconnect when removed from the case. The sound balance is excellent, good but not overpowering base and clean mid tones and highs.Cons: The noise cancellation is good but perhaps a little less effective than the Bose ANC on the 1st gen buds. Passthrough mode as not as good as the 1st gen buds making it a little more difficult to hear conversations when in passthrough.
