    Thanks for the video, I’ve had my airpods go through the wash probably 5 times and they still do their job, yeah the quality isn’t as good as brand new bc of the fact but still, highly resilient!

    Thank you for your video and for the time you took to share it, I would like to give you a note if you allow me, it is not good to blow electrical devices with your mouth, the air you blow comes out with particles of saliva with salt and that is not good, they are corroded by salt.
    Thanks again for your video.

    • @DIYGEEKTEXAS
      @DIYGEEKTEXAS  2 года назад +3

      Honestly I think it’ll still work if you just pour the alcohol onto your toothbrush. Though it may be more efficient to spray the AirPods/airpod case with the alcohol, I don’t think it’s absolutely needed.

    23:50 “when it’s clean you should see white like that” bro it’s not clean it’s just that your mesh that protects the opening is messed up and it’s gone. It’s usually black mesh in normal like the other openings.

    These are an improvement over the 1st gen buds. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxK5mc3yw4xA7Mf2j6k6n1Uqv_KUgrKdeM Pros: The fit is fantastic. This is the biggest plus. They stay in my ears when running and become unnoticeable. They are tight but comfortable. The sound quality is about the same as the 1st gen buds. They pair more easily with my LG G8 ThinQ and immediately reconnect when removed from the case. The sound balance is excellent, good but not overpowering base and clean mid tones and highs.Cons: The noise cancellation is good but perhaps a little less effective than the Bose ANC on the 1st gen buds. Passthrough mode as not as good as the 1st gen buds making it a little more difficult to hear conversations when in passthrough.
