How to Prevent Future AirPods Water Damage

Preventing liquid exposure is easier than dealing with water damage afterward.

• Do not intentionally expose AirPods to water.
• Keep them protected during heavy rain.
• Dry your hands before handling them.
• Never charge wet AirPods.
• Have malfunctioning AirPods checked after significant liquid exposure.

Taking these precautions can help extend the useful life of your earbuds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use AirPods after dropping them in water?

It is better to avoid using them immediately. Remove them from the water, dry the exterior carefully, and allow them to dry before testing. If problems remain, professional inspection may be appropriate.

How long should AirPods dry after getting wet?

The appropriate drying period depends on the amount of liquid exposure and whether moisture entered the internal components. Do not assume that the outside being dry means the inside is completely dry.

Can water damage make AirPods stop charging?

Yes. Moisture can affect charging contacts, the charging case, or internal electronics. If charging problems appear after liquid exposure, professional diagnosis can help identify the cause.
