- Wipe the body of the IEMs with a dry, soft cloth to remove any dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Use a small brush or cleaning tool to gently clear any earwax or debris from the nozzle mesh.

- When storing, coil the cable loosely to prevent tangling and damage.
