Are you cleaning your Pixel Buds Pro 2 wrong? Google reveals the right way

Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2 are some of the best earbuds you can pair with an Android device. But like any other pair of earbuds, they can be a magnet for debris like dust, dirt, or ear wax. If your audio has been sounding a bit off lately, it might be a sign that your earbuds need to be cleaned. Google has now shared how you can clean your earbuds without damaging them.

In a recent blog post, Google details how to properly clean the rear vent mesh on the Pixel Buds Pro 2. The rear vent mesh is that small opening in the outer part of each earbud, not the bigger mesh sitting above and below the “G” logo. When this area gets dirty, the tech giant says it can “greatly affect the audio quality.”
