Cleaning the Ear Pads
Remove the ear pads carefully from the headset. Wash them with warm water and a small amount of gentle soap. Rinse thoroughly and let them air dry completely before reattaching. If the ear pads are worn out, consider replacing them for better comfort and hygiene.
Cleaning the Headset Frame and Ear Cups
Dampen a microfiber cloth with a mixture of warm water and a few drops of gentle soap or headset cleaner. Wipe down the entire frame, ear cups, and headband. For stubborn dirt or grime, use a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to clean small crevices and around the ear cups. Avoid saturating any part of the headset to prevent damage.
