@@enescalskan3985 I manage to clean it with Q-tips and wipes (mostly dry, literally a couple of drops of rubbing alcohol on the tissue), and the q-tips for the parts that are hard to reach. Be careful but be confident. I've had those headphones for 3.5 years and still going strong, clenaing them every two months. This video is imprinted in my memory.

Great tips and video, but as pointed out by a few people already, when putting the foam back in (the one that sits behind the cushion and mesh piece), the video shows them being placed wrong. The little tab on the foam does not go in that cutout part, it goes on the opposite side of the case. If your foam's tip is in the cutout, you have swapped your foams (the left one is on the right side and vice-versa). This matters because the foams are asymmetrical, so having them swapped could (not saying it will, but it could) affect your comfort when wearing the headphones. Thanks for the video, though!

The grey pads on mine we’re installed in reverse, the little square thing was pointed outwards instead of of inwards, I was having issues with the left speaker made a tiny rattling sound, issue is still there I’m assuming it’s hair or particles or whatever, it’s really not that annoying, it only happens with certain songs. I made sure to switch them around and install them properly, didn’t fix the faint rattle but I feel like sound quality and NC has improved like A LOT, most likely placebo right?.

@@tombeastie6222 the pads don't isolate the sound, the active noise cancellation does that. The simple version of how the active noise cancellation works, is it takes in the sounds from your surroundings using a microphone, and it attempts to invert those sound waves by effectively generating the 'opposite' of those sound waves into your ears at the same time the surrounding noise is going in and that's how it cancels those sounds out. If you've ever used the headphones without turning them on, that's the difference you'll hear.
