Dirty Wireless Earbuds and AirPods Can Harbor Bacteria. Here's How to Clean Them
My new Beats Studio Pro headphones are never more than 10 feet away from me. I'm not exaggerating. I literally take them everywhere with me -- and that means they go through a lot each day. I listen to music at the gym and during my morning walk. I stream podcasts when I walk my dog four times a day. I dive into an audiobook when I'm shopping at the grocery store, walking in the airport or doing chores. Because I get so much mileage out of my Beats, I have to clean them regularly.
AirPods or other wireless earbuds -- from Beats to Bose to JBL and more -- collect dirt, debris, earwax and bacteria every time you pop them in your ears. Over time, this buildup can impair the audio quality of your headphones, but on a more serious note, it can also transfer bacteria into your ear canal and cause a nasty infection. Simply cleaning your AirPods and other wireless headphones can prevent this. You'll want to make sure you're doing it the right way, though, so as not to damage your several-hundred-dollar headphones. Here's how.

Best Apple AirPods for 2025
See at Cnet
Apple has suggested a few methods for cleaning your AirPods. This easiest is simply using a disinfecting or alcohol wipe to clean the exterior surface. Just make sure to not use the wipe on the mesh speaker part and to dry the buds completely with a clean cloth before popping them back into your ears. Since alcohol dries quickly, you shouldn't need to wait more than 60 seconds or so.
For the microphone and speaker meshes, we recommend you use a dry cotton swab and a soft-bristled brush to gently wipe away dirt. Don't press too hard, though, since you could push the wax through the mesh and it would be nearly impossible to remove it then.
CNET Insider bonus: CNET senior editor Matt Elliott also suggests using to remove any stubborn earwax that's leftover after your initial wipe down. He instructs that you rub the Fun-Tak together to warm it up and then press it against the speaker. Then, you can use a wooden toothpick to scrape off anything stuck to the sides of the speaker hollow.
Cleaning wireless earbuds with detachable silicone tips, like the AirPods Pro or JBL Reflect Flow Pro, is simpler due to the protective nature of the tips. The silicone shields the speaker from dirt, earwax and debris, so it never gets too grimy. The tips can be removed for easy cleaning.
Just detach the silicone tips from the earphones and soak them in warm, soapy water for about 30 minutes. For stubborn stains, you can agitate the container to loosen up the gunk. Once clean, use a soft cloth or cotton swab to wipe away any remaining earwax or dirt and set aside the silicone tips to air dry completely.
If your earbuds don't come with silicone tips, you can purchase them separately from sources like Amazon. We recommend these affordable $13 that can be attached to standard AirPods.
I can't go one day without seeing those trendy over-the-ear wireless headphones, like the Apple AirPods Max or Beats Studio Pro. And I'm not mad about it -- they're super stylish -- and I even sport my own pair day-in and day-out. But they take a bit more time to clean.
Like other headphones, you should never run them under water, use abrasive tools or get liquids in any openings. The best method is to wipe down the headband portion with a disinfectant wipe and to pop the removed cushions into a container with a mixture of one teaspoon liquid laundry detergent and one cup of tepid water. After soaking, wipe the ear cushions and headband thoroughly with a clean cloth to dry. Then, lay the headphones flat to dry for at least a day before you reattach the cushions and use them again.
Yes, your charging case gets grimy too. And it doesn't make much sense to go through the effort of cleaning your earbuds only to return them to a dirty charging case.
To clean the case, use a dry, lint-free cloth to wipe away any visible dirt. You can slightly dampen the cloth with water or rubbing alcohol, but be careful to avoid getting any liquid inside the charging ports.
Here's a rundown of a few more earbud-cleaning tips to remember:
Never fully submerge your earbuds or headphones in water -- even if they're advertised as "waterproof" or "water-resistant"
Cotton swabs are your best bet
Refrain from using sharp objects, like safety pins, pens and kitchen utensils, to clean the speaker or microphone mesh
Make sure not to get any liquid in the openings
Avoid exposing your headphones and earbuds to products that can cause stains or other damage, including soaps, shampoos and conditioners, lotions, perfumes, solvents, detergents, sunscreen, oils or hair dyes and other hair products

Best Ice Makers
CNET staff -- not advertisers, partners or business interests -- determine how we review products and services. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Ice: The one thing a summer hang can never have enough of. The best countertop ice makers will have a bin full of nugget, bullet or cocktail ice that is never out of reach. A standalone model is particularly valuable if your fridge doesn't have a built-in ice maker or it can't keep up with consumption. There are also specialty ice makers to make the fanciest cubes you'll find outside of a speakeasy. Just a few of the ice makers we tested to find the best in class. David Watsky/CNET To find the best ice makers to keep the party going, I tested 10 machines. The models I evaluated varied widely in price, ice type and size, so there are picks on this list to accommodate specific frozen water requirements. If you're a consummate host of big outdoor bashes -- and where's our invite? -- consider a large-capacity ice maker versus a smaller model with limited output. What's the best ice maker for 2025? After weeks of testing and lots of cold beverages, we found GE Profile's Opal 2.0 Nugget Ice Maker with water tank to be the best ice maker overall. The larger machine pumps out mountains (3 pounds to be exact) of chewable nugget ice that's perfect for icy spritzes, chilled lemonade and blends into smoothies with zero resistance. A version of this ice maker has been around for more than a decade -- we tested the first generation model in 2016 and liked it then -- so we have faith it'll stand the test of time, which is key for an appliance type that's not known for longevity. But there are other ice makers made for smaller spaces or specialty cocktails that could be a better fit for your summer soiree. Read on for our picks for the best ice makers for 2025. GE Profile Photo Gallery 1/3 GE Profile Best ice maker overall GE Opal 2.0 Nugget Ice Maker + Water Tank Pros Makes crunchy nugget ice, great for chewing or cocktails The large removable water means you don't have to constantly refill Quiet and easy to use The design is pleasing Cons The most expensive nugget ice maker on our list Larger than most so it might not fit on your kitchen counter Why I liked it: The Opal Nugget 2.0 ice maker had one of the fastest ice outputs of the models we tried. It also has the largest capacity, able to hold three pounds at once and produce more than 35 pounds of ice in a single day. The large .75-gallon side water reservoir on the 2.0 comes in handy when you're hosting and don't want to bother with refilling constantly. The Opal is also relatively quiet and easy to use. Why we chose this model over GE's other Opal ice makers is the removable reservoir that is far more convenient than the built-in water tank found on the brand's other models. Who is it for: If you need large quantities of ice and have the space to house it, the Opal will provide the most ice to keep drinks cold and party guests happy. The Opal has a pleasant design and an easy-access bin with a caddy for the ice scoop on the side so you never lose it. Who should avoid it: If you don't require loads of ice regularly, the Opal may be more ice maker than you need. It's significantly larger than the other ice makers on our list so it may not be the best pick if you plan to keep it in the kitchen. It also costs about $579 so it's not a budget buy. Note: Our pick is for the Opal 2.0. The Opal 2.0 XL is identical except for a slightly larger 1-gallon reservoir but costs $149 more. There is also a line of Opal ice makers with a built-in reservoir, which is less convenient to fill than the removable reservoir. ... Show more Get it now $500 at Amazon $529 at Walmart $600 at Target Specs & Configurations Ice type Nugget Ice capacity 3 lbs Ice made per day 38 lbs Dimensions 17.5"D x 13.43"W x 16.5"H Colors available Silver, carbon, powder blue, white Cleaning cycle Yes Removeable Water Tank Yes Price $300 Add to compare Frigidaire Photo Gallery 1/2 Frigidaire Best ice maker for most kitchens Frigidaire Pros Made ice faster than any other nugget ice maker we tested Simple to use Classic design with several colors available Good value considering the performance Cons The ice bucket feels a little cheap No holder for the ice scoop Why I like it: This simple nugget ice maker quickly and efficiently turned 2 quarts of water into crunchy ice. It isn't decked out with special features like others on this list but it has a cleaning cycle that is recommended to run with distilled vinegar every so often to keep scale from building up. I appreciated the removable reservoir, which allows you to keep the machine anywhere in the kitchen. Those with built-in water tanks must either be placed near the sink or you'll have to find a vessel to bring water over to refill. Who should get it: This ice maker is quiet, works well and is a modest size, making it a great pick for most kitchens. It will take up about the same amount of space as a 4-quart air fryer so you'll need to budget some counter space. That said, it's roughly half the size of the GE Profile Opal. Who should avoid it: If your ice needs are particularly great, this mid-sized model may not be able to keep up. Two and a half pounds of ice may sound like a lot, but during a summer party with 10 or more guests, it'll go fast. A full batch of ice takes about an hour, so you can expect to fill it somewhat regularly throughout your event. ... Show more Get it now $300 at Amazon Specs & Configurations Ice type Nugget Ice capacity 2.5 lbs Ice made per day 44 lbs Dimensions 16.75"D x 11.75"W x 20.25"H Colors available Blue, black, silver, cream Removable water tank Yes Price $300 Add to compare Ecozy Photo Gallery 1/2 Ecozy Best smart ice maker design Ecozy Pros My favorite design of any ice maker we tested Love the top-open door revealing ice bin and water tank Keeps ice super cold after making Cons Smart features seem mostly unnecessary Digital screen is busy Less familiar with the brand, which makes me nervous about longevity Why I like it: This ice maker had my favorite design of all the models tested. The slick top-open door reveals an ice basket and easy-fill removable reservoir. The Ecozy also made its soft nugget ice fast, churning out 2.5 pounds in just more than an hour. It makes slightly less ice per day than the Frigidaire but still enough for the average household not to fall behind. The Ecozy's smart features are fun, but I didn't find myself using them often. The ice maker is Wi-Fi enabled so you can start and stop the cycle remotely if you choose. However, you'll still have to return to manually fill the reservoir so remote control isn't a major boon. This machine sports an LED light to show ice bin fullness without opening it. It also tells you the air and water temperatures but I struggled to see how this would be helpful other than to plan how long the ice would keep from melting. The insulated chamber was useful as this machine kept its ice frozen for several hours after it was made, even when I turned it on. Who should get it: Smart home aficionados will appreciate the Ecozy's extra features, such as app control and temperature readouts. While it doesn't filter water, the machine also reads the water's total dissolved solids, so you can haul in a separate filter system if the quality is poor. Who should avoid it: My biggest concern with this ice maker is my lack of familiarity with the brand. Because it sports all those smart features, there are more elements that could potentially break or glitch over time, although everything ran smoothly in my weeks-long test. ... Show more Get it now $360 at Amazon $400 at Best Buy Specs & Configurations Ice type Nugget Bin capacity 2.6 lbs Ice per day 40 lbs Dimensions 9.33"D x 14.01"W x 15.51"H Colors available Black Cleaning cycle Yes Removable water tank Yes Price $400 Add to compare Igloo Photo Gallery 1/2 Igloo Best cheap ice maker Igloo Pros A bargain at less than $100 Made bullet ice fast and kept it cold Handle is convenient for bring ice outside or to another room Cons Makes a small amount of ice What I like: The Igloo is about as simple as ice makers get but it made bullet ice fast and kept it frozen. The ice maker is relatively quiet and takes up very little counter space. I loved the handle that lets you easily lug a full batch of ice, which takes about an hour to make, outside or into another room. It also made its first ice cubes faster than any machine, churning out nine cubes in less than 8 minutes. Who is it for: For those who need just a small supplemental supply of ice, the Igloo's $95 machine won't bust your wallet or crowd your counter. It works consistently Who should avoid it: This is a small-capacity ice maker. It holds just 1.25 pounds of ice and makes only 26 pounds total per day so you'll need to run and refill it often to keep up with even modest demand from a group. You can always batch ice and stick it in the freezer, but that requires planning ahead so consider this machine's output before you decide to buy. ... Show more Get it now $90 at The Home Depot $95 at Wayfair Specs & Configurations Ice type Nugget Bin capacity 1.25 lbs Ice made per day 26 lbs Dimensions 12.2"D x 9.06"W x 12.8"H Colors available Black, light blue Removeable water tank No Cleaning cycle Yes Price $95 Add to compare Klaris Photo Gallery 1/3 Klaris Best ice maker for whiskey drinkers Klaris Craft Ice Maker Pros The 2-inch cubes made by this machine were a thing of beauty Slow melting ice is perfect for cocktails and sipping liquor Small footprint Cons It takes eight hours to make four cubes Expensive at more than $500 Why I liked it: The Klaris specialty ice maker makes perfectly clear 2-inch cubes of ice. While it takes time to make them, the resulting ice is optimal for sipping a fine whiskey or bourbon cocktail. The ice melts considerably slower than other types and thus won't water down your custom cocktail. It's also visually appealing if you plan to show off your cocktails on Instagram. Who is it for: This is undoubtedly a specialty ice maker for fans of premium liquor with some money to spend. The Klaris makes four large crystal-clear ice cubes in each batch but takes about 8 hours to do it. It's easy to operate with just one button. The Klaris is also one of the smaller ice makers so it won't crowd your countertop and can ornament a home bar. Who should avoid it: This isn't a practical ice maker for most people. The Klaris makes perfect cocktail ice but it takes eight hours to create just four cubes. It's also one of the more expensive home ice makers on the market at more than $500. ... Show more Get it now $549 at Amazon Specs & Configurations Ice type Cocktail, cube Bin capacity 4 large cubes Total ice per day 12 large cubes Dimensions 9"D x 9"W x 12"H Colors available Stainless steel Cleaning cycle No Removable water tank No Price $524 Add to compare Others ice makers we tested Frigidaire ball: This $335 model would be a good pick if you want cocktail ice but don't want to splurge on the $500 Klaris. The balls of ice were at times inconsistent or half-made but it was mostly efficient and easy to use. Whynter Nugget Ice Maker: This machine performed well but it was louder than the others. Also, the build is low and wide -- most were taller but narrow -- making it more difficult to squeeze into a crowded kitchen. GoveeLife Smart Ice Maker: This ice maker was the worst of the bunch. The Govee never produced a single cube after several attempts at running a cycle. Gevi V2.0 Nugget Ice Maker: The Gevi performed OK when making ice but it didn't keep that ice frozen in the bin for as long as the others. Cuisinart Compact Bullet Ice Maker: This bullet ice maker got the job done but the control panel was fussy and the price was bloated for a basic ice machine. The Igloo, our budget pick, is a nearly identical machine but costs $100 less. There aren't a ton of ice makers from well-known brands. Kitchen brands don't seem to be clamoring to get into the ice maker space and plenty of brands have skipped out on the category. I asked reps from several of my favorite kitchen brands why but most didn't have an answer. In researching the models we would test, I reached out to some of them. A rep from SharkNinja, a kitchen brand we are consistently impressed with, said, "We aren't in that category at the moment but we're always looking for the next consumer problem to solve … and always follow our deep consumer insights in that process." How we tested ice makers Testing ice makers isn't as straightforward as some of the other products we evaluate at CNET. Most of the ice makers we brought in for testing delivered on the promise to turn tap water into ice. But some made ice faster than others and kept it cool for longer when the machine was turned off. Many of our picks hinged less on hard metrics gleaned from testing and more on how well the ice makers were designed and constructed, how easy they were to use, their features and their noise level. We ran each ice maker more than 10 times to ensure consistency in production and looked for any glitches in the controls. We also looked for leaks or design flaws that might cause a mess to clean up later. For hard metrics, we timed how long it took each ice maker to make it's first cubes. We ran that test twice and averaged the two times. In most machines, it was consistently about 10 minutes before the first cubes or nuggets dropped into the bin. Next, we tested how long it took each ice maker to fill its bin. This isn't an apples-to-apples comparison because the machines all have different capacities but we wanted to see if the ice makers delivered on the promises made in marketing lingo. What to consider: Ice maker buying advice A removable reservoir A removable reservoir makes refilling easier, especially if the machine is far from the sink. David Watsky/CNET The most convenient feature of all the ice makers I tested was a removable reservoir. Some of the budget models had built-in water tanks, which meant you had to either keep the machine near the sink or bring water in a separate vessel to fill it. The Whynter ice maker has a built-in water tank, which I found trickier to fill. David Watsky/CNET The removable reservoirs proved uniquely handy for refilling, especially for the midsized machines that required more refills to keep up with demand. Ice type Most home ice makers make either nugget or bullet ice. David Watsky/CNET Most at-home ice makers make one of two types of ice: bullet or nugget. Nugget ice can be made quickly and is great for chewing on but it melts fast in drinks. Bullet ice seems to be the go-to ice type for budget-friendly ice makers. It's more similar in structure to ice you would find in an in-fridge ice maker. Then there are the specialty ice makers, largely designed for cocktail making. Frigidaire has a $300 ball ice maker, while Klaris' $524 ice maker makes perfect, air-pocket-free blocks for sipping your favorite brown liquor or mixed drink. Size and production volume Midsized ice makers like the Frigidaire and Ecozy hold enough ice for about 7 drinks. David Watsky/CNET The smallest ice makers are good for crowded kitchens but the production is limited so it might not be worth even the meager space they take up. The Cuisinart and Igloo, for instance, hold just 2 pounds of ice, enough for roughly 7 drinks. Most ice makers hold about 2 liters, which equals roughly 2.5 pounds of ice, good for about 9 drinks. The bigger ice makers, including our top pick the GE Profile Opal Nugget ice maker, hold 3 pounds at once, enough for 12 drinks, but the footprint on your counter is significantly bigger. You'd be wise to consider the space where you plan to put your ice maker before you purchase. Many homes may require the extra ice only in the summer so if you can budget the space for three or four months only, you can spring for a larger model that produces more. If it's going in the basement or garage to replenish ice as needed or to be pulled out for special occasions, size may not be a concern. Cost and value The Opal Nugget Ice Maker is our top pick but it's also one of the more expensive options. GE The most affordable ice makers we tested were less than $100. All of these models were small in stature and made bullet ice -- similar to ice from a fridge ice maker. Ice makers that produce nugget ice, which is easy to chew and looks nice in cocktails, typically start at about $300. Premium ice makers, such as the Opal 2.0 and Klaris specialty ice maker, cost about $500 to $700. Cleaning mode Most of the ice makers we tested have a cleaning function that sends water mixed with a food-safe cleaning product or a vinegar solution through the channels to descale. We recommend buying an ice maker that has this feature to prevent tainted ice down the line. Ice maker FAQs Will an ice maker work outside in the heat? In my experience, ice makers function far less efficiently in the heat. If you have a portable ice maker, it's best to operate it inside where it's cooler during warm weather. How do you clean an ice maker? To clean an ice maker unplug the machine and empty the ice bin and water reservoir. Next, wipe down interior and exterior surfaces with a mild cleaning solution. For a deeper clean, run the machine's cleaning cycle once or twice to rid the lines of buildup. The run another cleaning cycle with only water to flush it out. How long does an an ice maker take to make ice? Most automatic ice makers we tested start making ice in about 12 minutes but take a full hour or longer to make a full batch. The larger models took longer to fill the bucket with ice. How much ice do ice makers make? Most of the ice makers we tested hold between 2.5 and 3 pounds of ice, enough for 8 to 12 drinks. The smaller, more budget-friendly machines hold closer to 1 pound.

Power, range, charging … what's wrong with this EV from Toyota?
PLANO, TEXAS—The tarmac is sun-baked and the air is heavy with humidity. While the road surface isn't bad, there are some pretty aggressive expansion joints that do make themselves felt. But not as much as I would expect. That's because I'm driving the all-new Toyota bZ (formerly bZ4X) electric crossover and, boy, has Toyota ever done wonders with the ride in this version of the vehicle. As good as the ride is — even though my tester has the optional 20-inch wheels, and that kind of thing tends to affect ride negatively — it's a very small part of a much bigger picture here. A lot of massaging has been done for this mid-cycle refresh of Toyota's one-and-only full battery-electric vehicle — it is a lineup that will soon triple in size after the recent announcement of the new C-HR and bZ Woodland — to address the most pressing needs of the old model, which swirled mainly around EV range and power. There needs to be an asterisk here, because, in some ways they have addressed this, but, in others, they haven't. Just as it was previously, the bZ is available with single-motor front-wheel-drive (FWD) and dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD). For '26, the AWD version makes 460 kilometres of range and 338 horsepower, 25- and 50-per-cent boosts, respectively, on the previous model. That's good, but the FWD model has a smaller battery than before and less range, as a result. Toyota maintains this is a cost-saving measure (pricing hasn't yet been announced), but it's, well, a bit of a bummer. AWD models of a car do tend to outsell FWD models in Canada so the lion's share of buyers will likely be happy with this. The story of its styling is a 'Tale of Two Cities'; the front end is a vast departure from the previous model, and not much has changed in the back. The vehicle gets Toyota's new 'Hammerhead' styling, which adds cool c-shaped daytime running lights and a smooth lower fascia with seamlessly-integrated body colour bumpers. Also new for '26: you can have body-coloured fenders depending on the exterior colour choice. For '26 some colours still do get contrast-colour fenders but the ones that don't look very classy and upmarket. At the rear sit the same tail light lenses and twin roof-mounted wings, with changes for '26 amounting to little more than some new badging. Inside, the main additions include a standard 14-inch central infotainment display, as well as optional nine-speaker JBL audio, while dual wireless charge pads are standard on all bZ trims (XLE FWD, XLE AWD, Limited AWD). As was the case before, the speedometer sits atop the dash, in the driver's line of sight, without obstructing the view. It essentially takes the place of a heads-up display, and it works. I spent the duration of my test in the dual-motor AWD version and that 338 horsepower can really be felt as soon as you dip in to the throttle. At 2,065 kilograms in Limited AWD spec, the bZ is no lightweight, but the power on offer and the throttle response make up for that and they have you squirting through intersections with ease. There's no problem getting up to speed on the highway. It's properly quick, this EV CUV, and inspires driver confidence as a result. The ride is very good, even if you specify the 20-inch wheels, but the chassis and suspension tuning is only half the battle when it comes to comfort of occupants. The seats are well padded and supportive, both front and back, and, while there is a nice, deep storage bin underneath the front seat armrest and a deployable armrest in back, hips and stray limbs don't get overly squeezed. The optional full-length glass roof doesn't impinge too much on front- and rear-seat headroom, which is a bonus. The added power and range are advantages. As is the charging. For '26, all bZ models come standard with NACS charging, which means you can plug in to a Tesla Supercharger and charge from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in about 30 minutes. If you prefer to use more traditional charge ports, such as a DC fast charge, each bZ sold comes with an adapter that will allow you to plug in to those, as well as a level II home charger if you happen to have one. Yes, the FWD model makes less range than before, but the power and range on offer from the AWD version hits the nail on the head. In AWD guise, it's exactly what the doctor ordered for the bZ. Type: Five-door, mid-size crossover; all-wheel-drive Engine: Front and rear EV motors; 338 horsepower Range: 460 kilometres Transmission: Single-speed automatic Cargo: 730 litres or 26 cubic feet behind second row Price: Not yet announced
