To clean the Beoplay HX you only need a few tools:

  • A soft brush or a small brush

  • Cotton swabs for fine areas

  • Slightly moistened cloths (without alcohol) for the housing

3. Cleaning step by step

a) Housing & bracket

  • Wipe with a dry microfiber cloth.

  • If it gets dirty, use a slightly damp cloth.

  • Do not use aggressive cleaners or alcohol as these may damage the surfaces.

b) Ear pads

  • The Beoplay HX often have high-quality leather cushions :

    • Gently clean with a dry, soft cloth.

    • If necessary, treat with a leather care product in small amounts.

    • Always allow the headphones to dry completely before using them again.

c) Speaker grille

  • Carefully remove dust and dirt using a cotton swab or a fine brush.

  • Do not put any liquid into the openings.

d) Carrying case

  • Clean regularly after sporting use or long listening sessions.

  • Occasionally treat ear cushions with leather conditioner to keep them supple.

5. You should avoid this
