Published in Headphone Cleaning 2 mins read

While your question mentions "Air Max Pro," it's likely you're referring to Apple's over-ear headphones, the AirPods Max. The cleaning process for the cushions and headband of these headphones is straightforward.

Keeping your AirPods Max clean helps maintain their condition and performance. The primary focus for cleaning, according to available information, is on the cushions and headband.

Here's a simple guide based on the recommended process:

Cleaning the Cushions and Headband

The ear cushions and the headband of your AirPods Max can be cleaned using a gentle method to remove surface dirt and sweat.

  1. Dampen a cloth: Get a separate, clean cloth and dampen it slightly with fresh water. Do not use cleaning solutions or excessive water.
  2. Wipe the surfaces: Wipe the cushions and headband clean using the slightly dampened cloth. Be gentle and avoid getting moisture into any openings.
  3. Dry thoroughly: Immediately after wiping, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to dry the cushions and headband. Ensure you remove any excess moisture.
  4. Allow to air dry: Lay your AirPods Max flat to dry for at least a day before you reattach the cushions and use them again. This ensures all components are completely dry.

Important Considerations:

  • Always detach the ear cushions before cleaning if possible (AirPods Max cushions are magnetic and removable).
  • Do not submerge the headphones or cushions in water.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals, aerosols, solvents, or abrasive materials.

Following these steps will help keep the cushions and headband of your AirPods Max clean and fresh.
