    Aside the trolling and jokes in the comments.
    This is something that most people would never have this come to mind, that every tech in existence NEEDS maintenance. Cleaning IS part of maintenance.
    Sure it is a hassle and a chore to get it done and properly without for physical deterioration that can eventually lead to destruction of said device.
    Not a lot of people know how to properly clean their said device without throwing it away.
    But I am glad Bestbuy is doing their effort to teach their customers on how to properly clean their headphones and earbuds.

      As a first step, check your manual or manufacturer's support page for their recommendations on cleaning the cloth earpads. They will often include instructions on how to remove the pads from the headphones so that you can clean them in a bowl with water and soap mixture.

    leather cleaner and leather moisturizer: coach

    • @BestBuy
      @BestBuy  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      In theory, a small amount of leather cleaner may work on the headphones. As the leather on the headphones is thinner than the purses and other leather products that cleaner is designed to work with, you may want to try using a minimal amount at first and applying with care.

    • @BestBuy
      @BestBuy  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For cleaning the removable pads from earbuds, check out 1:57 in the video.
      For headphone pads, start at 2:16 and dampen a soft cloth with the soap and water mix shown in that part of the video. You'll use this to wipe down headphone pads separately if they're removable or on the headphone if not. Then, use a dry cloth to wipe them off as shown at 2:57 and let them dry.
