FULL STORY ======================================================================Pixel Buds Pro 2's design means a vent can get blocked This can actually affect sound quality You'll need micellar water and a soft toothbrush

One of the downsides of the best earbuds is that over time, they get dirty:
in addition to external debris such as dust and dirt, there's also ear wax to get in the way of your listening pleasure. And it seems that the design of
the Pixel Buds Pro 2 makes them not only prone to getting gummed up with unwanted additions, but these can affect the sound more than you might
expect.

That's why Google has published a published a guide to safely cleaning your Pixel Buds Pro 2 (via 9to5Google for spotting it). According to Google, the rear vents and small openings on the outside of the buds can get blocked, and that can "greatly affect" the audio quality.

The good news is that it's simple to solve. All you need is micellar water you'll usually find it with the skincare and beauty products in a store plus a paper towel and an extra soft toothbrush. Google advises against using detergent, sprays or alcohol.

The star here is the micellar water, which is used by many of us to get rid
of makeup without feeling like we've sanded half our face off. It's very good at shifting things, and that makes it ideal for your Pixel Buds too.

Google recommends pouring normal water into a cup and micellar water into another, and then swirling the toothbrush in the micellar water. Once you've done that, hold your bunged-up bud in one hand and use the toothbrush to
brush the mesh in "deep circular motions" for 15 seconds.

Google recommends blotting the earbud on the paper towel and repeating the brushing two more times before rinsing the brush in the regular water. Once you've done that, it's time for one more brush this time without the
micellar water.

Once you've done both buds you'll need to let them air dry. Google recommends at least two hours, or longer if they need it. You might also like The best earbuds for every budget Apple's guide to cleaning AirPods 3 and AirPods 4
