AirPods Pro 2 silicone tips and electronic earbuds need different cleaning methods. Immersion procedures described for certain other generations must not be transferred to Pro 2; verify your model first.

Remove the earbuds from their case and confirm they are AirPods Pro 2. Do not immerse or rinse the electronic earbuds under running water.
Grip each silicone tip near the attachment and gently remove it; replace any torn or misshapen tips.
Rinse only the detached silicone tips with water, without soap or household cleaner; dry them with a lint-free cloth.
Wipe soiled earbud bodies using a cloth slightly dampened with fresh water, followed by a soft dry cloth. Never use sharp tools.
Clean the charging case with a soft, dry cloth; keep liquid and objects out of charging ports and metal contacts.
Reattach tips only when completely dry. Allow the earbud bodies at least two hours to dry fully before use or returning them to the case.
