For even more thorough cleaning, lightly spritz the brush or sponge with alcohol or vinegar, but don't get it too wet, as Apple's AirPods aren't waterproof. If you have earbuds with a removable rubber tip, you can wash the tip with soap and water and gently rub the inner speaker with a cleaning brush or toothbrush.

Yes! My airpods took my iPhone 7plus down 25% in just 1 hour. I had to purchase a battery case just to make it through the day. On my $30 Bluetooth headphones battery life didn't change so I was surprised this new W1 chip drains power.
AirPods typically last about 2-3 years before most users feel the need to replace them. This short lifespan is because of their lithium-ion batteries.
Similarly, a green light on the earbuds is also an indication of fake AirPods. That's because AirPods and AirPods Pro earbuds themselves do not emit any light. The status light for genuine AirPods is located on their charging cases.
They are in pairing or discovery mode. This means your headphones are looking for another Bluetooth device to connect with.

For the difficult-to-remove lint and grime, use a soft-bristled brush. If it's still not making a dent, use a solution of water and plain white vinegar (50/50); lightly wet the microfiber cloth, Q-tip or cotton swab with it.

You may have heard that you can leave a water-damaged device in a bowl of rice to dry it out. While the science behind this does work, rice is certainly not the best desiccant to use in this situation. What is this? Instead, you can use silica gel.
