To anyone reading this, make sure you dry the ear pads for literally days to be 100% dry, like dryer than to the touch. More dry than you've ever thought of something as dry. You can't really tell but if there's _any_ moisture in there, it can condense inside the cups and cause issues with the microphone or other circuitry which manifests as a high pitched buzzing sound. Probably the active noise cancelling stuff being extra sensitive.

Thanks for the tip it helped me prevent it in advance. I think this issue might be the result of not wringing out the moisture in the cloth enough. As long as it's slightly damp when both cleaning and rinsing it shouldn't require day(s) to dry. 24 hours should be enough after laying it on a lint free cloth to dry imo.

I got the green ones. So far I've cleaned them two times. For the ear pads I have this brush that I got with a shoe cleaning kit and I scrubbed them with regular water and soap. For the mesh on the headband I used a pure white towel (no colors/dye), clear washing detergent (no colors or scent), bleach, and baking soda and got it back to white. It was getting noticeably dingie. The mesh on the headband is actually pretty sturdy, but I still wouldn't be rough on it. Just a gentle scrubbing should do the trick. Then I just put it under my fan and to dry. Also with the ear pads, make sure to use a towel and squeeze the excess water out. Another thing I do with the ear pads is use frabric freshener (like febreezs or something) a light spray should do the job to keep them from having a stinky scent from sweat.

Worst part is these mesh earcups will begin to smell like shit with accumulated sweat. The only solution is to get a 2nd pair of earcups, put the others in the wash & dryer (softest silk settings). Also, condensation can form inside the cups e.g. when moving from warm outdoors to an air conditioned room: this broke my Maxes in Florida but thanks Apple Care+ for replacing them. Thanks for the post, Dayo.

I’m so surprised there’s not more discussion around this issue. Mine smell like my high school football helmet. I orders some non mesh knock offs (protein leather) and seems to be a good solution. Also, I just ran my original mesh ones in the dishwasher. They’re drying still but appear to be clean and smell free. I’ve tried cleaning by hand and did nothing. So hoping this is the trick.

Thanks for the explanation. I have silver white ones. And they needed cleaning. I actually ended up soaking the pads in warm water to with I added soap and a drop of Vanish for white garments. So far so good. I just couldn’t get them cleaned well just by rubbing a damp cloth. So soaking truly got rid of the dirt as there is no electrics I went ahead. The issue maybe the glue if any is used to keep the fabric in place around the hard plastic components?

they do get dirty in white, cleaning mine today and my nephew used them, i didnt think until after he was eating cheese balls, thus orange on his hands=touching case, ear buds and outside, i bought plastic covers off amazon and they made this easy, so just inside needed a clean as rest was a wipe off. I love these headphones, i have Bose and chose these over them every time, i travel a lot and they are just superior for me. Yes they need more charging but the noise cancellation is just amazing, I cant hear my wife manning or kids trying to wind me up, and they know it thus tap me on shoulder to talk to me, but when i want to hear as normal=transparent and hey presto normal ambient sound but still hearing the Laptop or iPad pro i am using etc. Will always buy these as they evolve now.

Well if you wear them at the gym the accumulated sweat gonna make the pads smell like shit, I did like the videos but the smell didn’t go away, so what I did was dipping them completely in the water and deep cleaned them and finally the smell went away to get rid of the soap you gonna have to rinse it a lot and squeeze the bottom only and what I did to dry them i put it on the heater (not to high) and let them sit for a few hours and they were completely dry but to make sure I put them by mi window too and waited till the next day to use them as usual, nothing happened so you guys can do it to if the method that apple recommends does not work.
