Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance and hygiene, regularly clean your HILEO Open Ear Headphones. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the earbuds and charging case. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. As the headphones do not enter the ear canal, wax buildup is minimized, simplifying cleaning.
Storage
When not in use, store the headphones in their charging case to protect them from dust and damage, and to ensure they remain charged for your next use.
