How do you clean these? Do the covers pop off to get the ear wax out?

Hi, cover doesn't pop off on this Sony Headphones just like normal earbud type headphones. You may wipe it off by using a clean, dry cloth. -Ely

I agree with the others concerning warm soap and water. I would think a damp paper towel or rag would also do the trick. I've had mine for several months now and it doesn't seem to collect dust. I've just taken the covers (I own several) outside and shake them. If there's any dust, I'd assume it comes off then, although I've honestly not noticed dust coming off, but I do it just incase. By shaking them out, I don't need to wait for them to dry.

In my case, it depends on how much ear wax accumulates in the filter. Sometimes i will try to dislodge a piece of earwax if it only blocks the opening partway and I can get a brush bristle on it to knock it out. IF more than 50% of the opening is blocked, I change the filter. IT really depends on how waxy your ears are. Note that if you think your aid is not working, change the filter and see if it helps,before you take it to your doctor. Don't ask my why I recomend this.

I have had no problem with them staying clean . As soon as I am done using them I rinse them out . You can also use something flat and soak them in hot water with a little dish soap over night ...

BW:I have found a way to fix this!! Try winding the cords over the top of your ears and then into your ear canal. In other words, approach your ear from behind, pulling the cord over the top of your ear, then pop the bud in. This as opposed to just putting them in and letting them hang down, where they transmit movement sound rught into your ear canal. This breaks the 'resonating' sections of the cord, and stops most of the noises from reaching the earpiece. Works pretty good.

Yea just use water. I've heard of people using hydrogen peroxide but I find it better to let the earwax removal drops do their magic and then flush it out with water. You have to push the water fairly hard and then let the water drain out for a while.

I use mine a few nights and they work well. I have longer hair so I have to make sure my hair is out of the way otherwise my hair sticks in them. They work really well though. I've never tried washing them nor would I cause you mush them around too much in/at your ear so if theirs dirt/grease it's all mushed in the stuff. That's like trying to wash dirt mixed in a piece of gum. No, just toss them.

I divide each one in half as it fits better in my ear. That gives me twice as many sets so when they start to harden or look dirty I throw them away. I have a special little container on my night stand that keeps them covered and away from my dog who loves to eat them. I've never thought of cleaning them.

The earbud jacks, etc... are all left open. There is no rubber flap or anything covering them like on some cases. I haven't experienced any problems with it so far.

I find it easy to remove the ear cups and replacing them. Cleaning is also easy, for me. I just rinse them under water and they're good to go.

As has been said, you simply pull them off. With white speakers, make sure your fingers are clean so you don't leave smudge marks.

I haven't had any experience where the wax was sticking onto the earphones.

Lily, I just jam them on, having of course removed the stock standard black buds that came with my Shure 825 earphones. I have experimented with the black buds and they are terrible compared with the flange ones, which you can screw much further into your canals, where they need to be for the earphones to work properly. But I am having a big problem with these splitting where I jam them on the earphone -- over time. I hope this helps.

I use mine about a week or a little longer, but I have zero problems with ear infections or much earwax. After I first insert them, I can feel & hear the foam expanding. When I notice that the foam isn't expanding as vigorously as it did at first, I know they're not going to block noise as well, and it's time to replace with a new pair. Oddly, to me, it seems like one plug in the pair usually fails first; I guess I'd have expected they would both go about the same time. I strongly agree with those who say don't wash them; that was an accident that did not go well.

add warm water to a cup. add a tiny amount of hydrogen peroxide like a squirt. keep squirting in your ear over and over and over till all the wax is out.

The covers snap on- look for a little "slit" in the Seam where the cover meets the speaker. GENTLY- with a small screw driver pry the cover away from the speaker. Once it starts to separate the cover should com right off.

A clean wipe can be used on the plastic band to clean it, that's about it. The ear pads come off so you could (gently) wash them I suppose.
