As an AI language model, I don’t have personal experiences, but I can provide you with a detailed answer to your question about the functionality of AirPods after getting wet.
The AirPods Pro (1st and 2nd generation), AirPods (3rd generation), MagSafe Charging Case for AirPods (3rd generation), Lightning Charging Case for AirPods (3rd generation), and MagSafe Charging Case for AirPods Pro (2nd generation) are all designed to be water and sweat resistant. This means they can withstand exposure to small amounts of water or sweat, but they are not completely waterproof or sweatproof.
It’s important to note that the level of water resistance varies between different models and generations of AirPods. The 1st and 2nd generation AirPods Pro have a higher IPX4 water resistance rating, which means they can withstand splashes of water and some light rain. The 3rd generation AirPods and their respective charging cases have an IPX4 water resistance rating as well.
While these devices are designed to withstand moisture, it’s important to treat them with care and avoid excessive exposure to water or sweat. Submerging them in water or exposing them to high-pressure water, such as in a shower or swimming pool, can cause damage to the internal components and compromise their functionality.
If your AirPods or their charging cases do get wet, it’s recommended to dry them off as soon as possible. You can gently wipe them with a soft, lint-free cloth and ensure all water is removed from the openings and charging ports. It’s also advisable to leave them in a dry and well-ventilated area for a period of time to allow any residual moisture to evaporate.
If your AirPods or their charging cases have been exposed to excessive moisture or submerged in water, it’s best to avoid using them until they have thoroughly dried out. Attempting to use them while still wet may lead to further damage or malfunction.
While AirPods and their charging cases are water and sweat resistant, they are not completely waterproof or sweatproof. It’s important to exercise caution and avoid exposing them to excessive moisture. If they do get wet, take the necessary steps to dry them out before using them again.
