While listening to your favorite music and podcast during your daily commute is great, headphones (and earbuds) can quickly get dirty, smudged and worn from repeated use. There could also be germs, bacteria and other icky things that you’re placing over your ears or against your face. However, you can simply clean your headphones with top-rated cleaning products to help ensure that they last for years to come.

We rounded up a few cleaning solutions that could make your headphones looking and feeling as if you just took them out of the box — and most important, possibly improve their audio quality, especially if dirt, dust, oils and other gunk have been building up for years.

In fact, one of the items we found uses Ultraviolet light to completely sanitize your headphones, along with other household essentials and tech gear, within a few minutes. Additionally, a good cleaning kit could help deep clean your cans, while basic cleaning wipes can go a long way for headphone cleanliness.
