The Apple AirPods feature a distinctive design and ventilation holes on the outside to improve the listening experience for audio files.
Apple’s official product page states that these vents are used to equalize pressure and provide a more comfortable wearing experience, and also play an important role in improving the best features of AirPods, such as Transparency Mode and Active Noise Cancellation.
The importance of the AirPods air vent
The air vent actually acts as an important conduit for airflow from the outside, with the main speaker grille sealing tightly from the outside.

The holes allow air to move between the inside and the outside, in addition to that, they also help avoid suction after the earbuds become tight inside the ear canal.
The importance of cleaning AirPods
It is imperative that we keep these earphones clean because many people do not clean their earphones every day.
Over time, earwax, dust, and dirt clog the vent, cutting off airflow and affecting sound output, as well as the efficiency of Transparency mode.
In order to clean the speaker and the ventilation holes, the following can be done, according to what was reported by the non-electronic Slash website:
Use a lint-free cloth to clean the earphones, especially the ventilation area.
Do not put the AirPods under running water to clean, as they are not waterproof except for the IPX4 type.
To remove items that are prone to stains, such as oil, conditioner, soap, or hair dye, try cleaning your AirPods with a soft, damp cloth.
You must make sure that the earphones are completely dry before putting them back in the charging case.
As for the mesh area, the best way to clean it is with a cotton swab.
