PSA. DON'T put your Air Pods Pro 2 in the washer...😖

Public service announcement!

I had my Airpods Pro 2 buds by themselves in a jacket and it went into a 30 minute wash cycle and then drying cycle for about 40 minutes.
Amazingly they are warped but they still work! The sound seems a bit more muffled but barely noticeable... 😜

Awesome hahaha

Ouch. I did drop one of my AirPods into a bathtub full of water once. Took it out immediately and dried it out, been working perfectly fine since then.

Can't remember which ones I did that to. Maybe original AirPods. Think I had Apple replace them under AppleCare. It was so long ago that I don't remember.

A long time ago my original AirPods nearly got soaked in the wash. Fortunately I was able to rescue them. Since then I made a hard rule: Before starting any laundry, AirPods go on the charger. It's worked well.

update... the left AirPods doesn't sound good anymore and the charging light flickers when the left one goes in...
The Dryer literally melted the plastic...
Glad I received Air Pods Pro 3 today in the mail. I had ordered them before this happened... I was going to sell my 2's. Now I can't...
