Best way to clean a headset?

[Axno]

I have the Logitech G35 which has earpads that aren't removable. What's my best option? Rubbing alc or hand sanitizer on a soft cloth and wait for it to dry? I don't know anything about cleaning headsets so yeah any help is appreciated.

Throw it in with the dark clothes, cold water, a little fabric softener, let it dry on it's own no dryer.

Dont do this... 

Use 99% isopropyl alcohol, and a cloth (Microfiber maybe)

 - or - 

Use a Lens cleansing wipe

Contact logitech for warranty replacement, or buy real headphones that don't SUCK ASS.

right, right.

 

Not all drivers are made of paper, or are they in headphones?

they actually mix paper with resin and all kinds of stuff

very few speakers are made with kevlar and fiberglass and aluminum

most are paper

[ManWithBeard1990]

Usually they're made of Mylar.

I wouldn't recommend washing them though, the diaphragms are so thin they might get damaged, and it'll also likely leave residue that messes with the acoustics of the thing.

You could use dry cleaning spray.

Also, for cleaning, you can try some antibacterial cleaning wipes or using a paper towel and water.

Even then, plenty are polyproplene or some other synthetic.

the huge majority of speakers are paper, or a synthetic/paper combo

 

for decades in the past speakers were only made out of paper

Sure, old speakers are paper, but newer are not

yeah older ones were almost all paper, newer speakers are STILL almost all paper

pretty much all PA speakers use paper cones

a lot of home theater speakers use paper cones, as well as subwoofer for home or car

it doesnt look like it, but a lot of speakers are still paper

yes this is still paper
