Earbuds Sport

We use earbuds a lot these days. But how often do you actually clean your earbuds? Regular cleaning not only ensures that they remain in top condition, it is also hygienic. It’s nice to have clean earbuds! The best time to clean your earphones depends on how intensively you use them and what you use them for.

You can clean your earbuds in 6 steps

1. See if your earbuds have a silicone dome (attachment). If so, remove it. Do you immediately see the speaker? Continue with the next step.
2. Use a cotton swab or an old (clean) toothbrush. Gently brush over the speaker to clean it. Pro tip: Hold the speaker down. This way the dirt falls out easily.
3. Time for the real work! Dip a cotton swab in 70% alcohol. You can buy these at a drugstore, among other places. Check that the cotton swab is not too wet. Are no more drops coming off? Get started cleaning the earbuds.
4. Do you have wired earbuds? Grab a damp cloth to clean the cable properly as well.
5. The wireless earbuds often include a nice charging case. It's a shame to store your freshly cleaned earbuds in a dirty charging case. Grab some lukewarm water with one drop of dish soap and gently clean the charging case as well. Make sure you don't get things soaking wet. Just moist, do not submerge. In addition, make sure that no moisture enters the USB port.
6. Give your earbuds a chance to dry. This way, no moisture will run into your ears, charging case, or eartips. 

Wireless earbuds are ideal, as long as they don't fall out of your ear. The trick is in properly inserting your earbuds. Properly inserting your earbuds also allows you to enjoy the best sound quality. Well worth trying.

This is how you can best insert different types of earbuds:

• Earbuds without a silicone dome rest in your auricle and do not go directly into your ear. This makes the earbuds safe, because you hear environmental sounds more clearly. They’re easy to insert. You put them in the round part of your auricle. Be careful not to place them too deep into your ear canal.
• Earbuds with silicone dome (in-ear) go directly into your ear canal. That’s why they come in different sizes. Please take a good look at the text on the earplug before inserting it. This indicates which earbud is for the left and right ear. Push the earplug into your ear canal with a twisting motion. You’ll feel when it is inserted correctly.

Every pair of human ears is different. Always check the ideal fit for your ears first. Try earbuds with different sizes of silicone tips that help them stay in place and make them less likely to fall out.

Know that every ear is different. An earplug can fit perfectly for a friend, while for you it keeps falling out. Earbuds that stay in place best are earbuds with an ear hook or with silicone tips in different sizes. Try out all sizes of the silicone tips. Move your head or run a bit. You will quickly notice which size stays in place best.

Some of our earbuds (with dome) come as standard with 3 sizes of soft silicone earbuds. For example, there is always a size that fits and it is so comfortable that you almost forget that you’re wearing earbuds. Don't want to miss anything of what's happening around you? Then use the earbuds without the dome. 

You want an optimal sound experience, but with the freedom of wireless earphones. How do you make sure you have the best of both worlds? Because earbuds are a lot smaller than headphones, many people think that the sound quality is a lot lower as a result. Fortunately, that is no longer the case. Good earbuds are at least as good as headphones. And we should know. 

Earbuds go directly into your ear canal. That's why you can enjoy an optimal sound experience. With the wireless earbuds from Fresh 'n Rebel you enjoy a crystal clear sound and intense deep bass. Your favourite song never sounded so good. 

You want to join an important digital meeting, make your trip a bit more pleasant or just put on a motivating beat while exercising and unfortunately... no sound from your earbuds. Super annoying! But what’s the problem? Here are the most common reasons:

Reasons why your earbuds aren't working

• The cable is not properly inserted in the audio connection
• You are still on mute or your sound is off 
• You have not yet connected the earbuds via Bluetooth
• There is dirt in the earbuds that prevents them from working properly
• The cable is broken, damaged or worn
• It could be a software or hardware problem 

Always try your earbuds on another device first. This way you can check whether it is really the earbuds. Are they still not working? Then check whether you can find visible damage or wear. Clean your earbuds immediately. Do you have the Twins earbuds? Check whether they are charged. 

Who knows, that might be enough to get them working again.

Time for your daily or weekly run? There’s no way you can start your session without motivating and uplifting music. How else will you get through the tough last kilometres? Choose sports earbuds with a silicone dome (in-ear earbuds). We’ll tell you why! Thanks to the silicone eartips, the in-ear earbuds stay in place better with every step you take, which is not an unnecessary luxury while running.

At the same time, the earbuds with dome seal your ear canal perfectly and you have the advantage of passive noise cancelling. You hardly hear disturbing ambient sounds anymore, but you still hear enough of your surroundings for a safe running session.
