Maintenance

Cleaning Your Headphones

Regularly clean the ear tips and the mesh grilles of the earbuds to prevent wax buildup, which can affect sound quality.
Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth for cleaning. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the earbuds are completely dry before placing them back in the charging case or using them.
Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Water Resistance (IPX5)

The JBL Free X headphones are IPX5-certified, meaning they are protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. This makes them suitable for workouts and use in light rain.

Do not submerge the headphones in water.
The charging case is not water-resistant. Ensure earbuds are dry before placing them in the case.
After exposure to sweat or rain, wipe the earbuds dry before charging.
