If you’re ashamed to take it your ears from ears in public because of what might be wrapped in them and yet too disgusted to clean them at home, you better think there is a Kickstarter product to solve this. Imagine a miniature washing machine to sit on a desk which cleans headphones instead of clothes. That’s what the Cardlax EarBuds Washer promises.
Cardlax sounds, of course, like a bizarre name for such a product, especially since it’s kind of, but it doesn’t rhyme with ear wax. The name is actually a report from a previous product its creators successfully funded: an electric muscle stimulation massage the size of a credit card. It seems that the two products have nothing in common, except that they work on behalf of the user: msecuring the muscles compared to cleaning the headphones.
If you open the EarBuds washing machine lid, you will first discover a small rotating brush, which is used to dislodge larger pieces of dirt from a headset, as well as to clean deeper cracks and hard-to-reach areas. Once the pre-wash is complete, the headphones are discarded in what looks like a cleaning drum with a spinning core, which is made of the same light foam from which makeup sponges are made, while a steaming of 70 is added. % alcohol. As the core rotates, the headphones are rubbed against it and the drum walls, removing the finer particles of wax until a pair of cordless buds remain which should looks as new as the day that ca.I get out of the box.
The inside of the machine can be removed and rinsed under water afterwards (as far as we know, no one makes a tiny washing machine for the EarBuds washing machine …however) because all the unwanted bits that are cleaned get to the bottom and will pile up in another ugly mess over time. The creators promise that the cleaning process is gentle and does not cause any damage to the headphones, and while the promotional videos show that Apple headphones are clean, the device works with many brands of buds, including Samsung and Bose.
The preordering now with a Kickstarter engagement may request a Cardlax EarBuds Washer for only $ 33, with delivery expected in June, if all goes well, as the project moves from the fundraising stage to actual production. With the pandemic still raging around the world and the boats clogging up the Suez Canal, it is a good time to be extremely cautious about collectively funded products and to be prepared for unforeseen delays. If you don’t think you have the patience for this, go buy a box of Qtips.
