AirPods are a great way to listen to music and take calls on the go, but what happens when your beloved AirPods get wet? Don’t panic! There is a way to get the water out of your AirPods mic and keep them in top shape.
The first step is to check that your AirPods are actually paired with your iPhone. This can be done by going into your settings and making sure the connection is there. Once you’ve confirmed this, you can move on to the next step.
The next step is to locate the “Water Eject” button on your AirPods. This button is usually located on the side of the AirPods near where you would insert the charging cable. Press this button and you should see the water start to drip out of it. When this happens, grab a towel or microfiber cloth and pat it dry as many times as necessary.
If your AirPods Max has gotten wet, Apple suggests leaving them out to dry for at least 24 hours after cleaning them with a damp rag or towel. You can also place desiccants around and on them if you have any available.
Hopefully, these tips help you keep your AirPods in great condition when they get wet! If all else fails, take them in for repair or replacement as soon as possible so that they don’t suffer any further damage from excess moisture.
Removing Water from Airpod Pro Microphone
To get water out of your Airpod Pro microphone, start by making sure your AirPods are paired with your iPhone. Then, look for a button on the side of the Airpod that says “Water Eject” and press it. This should cause any water in the microphone to slowly drip out. Once this happens, pat the microphone dry with a clean microfiber cloth to ensure all of the moisture is removed. If necessary, repeat this process until all remaining water is gone from the microphone.
Removing Water Damage from AirPods
If your AirPods have been exposed to water, the first thing you should do is turn them off and disconnect them from any device. Place your AirPods in a bowl of uncooked rice and let them sit for at least 24 hours. This will help absorb any moisture that may have gotten inside. After 24 hours, remove the AirPods from the bowl and lightly shake them to remove any excess rice grains. Wipe down the outside of your AirPods with a soft, lint-free cloth and allow them to dry completely before reconnecting them to any device. If you find that your AirPods are still not working correctly after this process, contact Apple Support for further assistance.
Can AirPods Survive Water Damage?
No, AirPods cannot survive water damage. The original AirPods and AirPods (2nd generation) are not waterproof or water-resistant in any way, so they should never be exposed to water. This also applies to the charging case that comes with either generation of AirPods. The MagSafe charging case that comes with the third-generation AirPods or AirPods Pro is not water resistant either, despite some websites suggesting otherwise. If your AirPods have come into contact with liquid, it’s important to dry them off immediately and take them to an Apple Store for repair if necessary.
