7. Maintenance and Care
7.1 Cleaning
Regularly clean your earbuds and charging case to ensure optimal performance and hygiene. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For the eartips, you can remove them and gently wipe with a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly before reattaching.
7.2 Water Resistance (IP7)
The C16 earbuds are rated IP7 waterproof, meaning they can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes them suitable for sweaty workouts and light rain. However, they are not designed for swimming or prolonged submersion. Always ensure the charging port on the case is dry before charging.
