How to clean your Samsung earbuds
If you enjoy using your Galaxy Buds, including newer models like the Galaxy Buds2 and Galaxy Buds2 Pro, you should make sure to clean and care for them regularly. Dust, earwax, and other debris can accumulate in the earbuds and make audio seem muffled, or prevent the earbuds from charging correctly.
Important: When cleaning the earbuds, do not hold the earbuds upright, and do not use liquids like alcohol or soapy water when cleaning them to prevent debris or liquids from falling inside them.
