Care
Given that this is a Grade B product, taking good care of your AirPods and case will ensure their longevity.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the AirPods and the charging case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For tougher grime, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid getting moisture in any openings.
- Protect from Extremes: Do not expose AirPods to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
- Case Protection: While the case itself is Grade B and may show minor wear, treat it with care to prevent further scratches or damage. Keep it free from dust and debris.
- Sweat and Water Resistance: Remember that the AirPods are sweat and water *resistant*, not waterproof. Avoid submerging them in water or exposing them to high-pressure water streams. Always dry them thoroughly after exposure to moisture before placing them back in the charging case.
