Infinix AirPods are a marvel of modern technology, delivering exceptional audio quality and the convenience of wireless earbuds. However, accidents can happen, and your Infinix AirPod might find themselves in contact with water, whether it's from rain, sweat, or an unexpected spill. If you act quickly, you can often save your Infinix AirPods from water damage. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to safely remove water from your AirPods without causing any harm to these valuable gadgets.
Step 1: Remove AirPods from Water
The moment you realize your Infinix AirPods have come into contact with water, the first step is to retrieve them from the water source. The longer they stay submerged, the greater the risk of damage.
Step 2: Turn Off and Disconnect
Disconnect your AirPods from your Android device immediately. To do this, go to your Android's Bluetooth settings, and select "Forget this device" or "Disconnect" next to your AirPods.
Step 3: Dry Externally
Gently shake the AirPods to remove any excess water from the outer surface. Use a soft, absorbent cloth or a paper towel to blot and wipe away moisture from the exterior. Be careful not to push water into the openings of the AirPods.
Step 4: Remove Ear Tips and Covers
If your AirPods have removable ear tips or covers, take them off to ensure thorough drying. This will also allow you to access any trapped water inside.
Step 5: Let AirPods Air Dry
Now comes the critical part—drying the internals. Place your AirPods in an open, dry area with good airflow. Avoid using heat sources like hairdryers or ovens, as excessive heat can damage the internal components. Instead, give them time to air dry naturally.
Step 6: Check for Moisture
After a few hours, inspect your AirPods for any remaining moisture. Shake them gently to help any trapped water escape. Ensure they are completely dry before proceeding.
Step 7: Rice or Silica Gel
If you're still concerned about moisture, you can place your AirPods in a container filled with uncooked rice or silica gel packets. These materials are known for their moisture-absorbing properties. Leave your AirPods in the container for 24-48 hours. However, avoid inserting rice or silica gel directly into the AirPods' openings, as this could cause further damage.
Step 8: Reconnect and Test
Once you are confident that your AirPods are completely dry, reconnect them to your Android device. Test all functions, including audio quality, touch controls, and battery life. Ensure everything is working as expected.
Step 9: Prevent Future Water Damage
To prevent future water damage, consider investing in protective cases designed for your AirPods. These cases can provide an extra layer of defense against moisture.
Remember that while these steps can often save your Android AirPods from water damage, prevention is still the best approach. Avoid exposing your AirPods to water whenever possible, and be cautious when using them in wet or humid environments.

Turn on the Bluetooth of your phone:
This is the first step in the pairing process. Ensure that the Bluetooth feature on your mobile phone is turned on and set to "discoverable" or "pairing" mode. This enables your phone to search for and connect with nearby Bluetooth devices.
Take out the earbuds from the charging case (If not ON automatically, turn them ON by long pressing both earbud buttons simultaneously):
Remove the Infinix Airpod Snokor earbuds from their charging case. In some cases, the earbuds may power on automatically when taken out of the case. If they don't, you can manually turn them on by performing a long press on both earbud buttons simultaneously. This step activates the earbuds and prepares them for pairing.
Red & blue light will flicker alternately meaning earbuds are now in a matching state:
After turning on the earbuds, you'll notice that the LED lights on the earbuds start flashing red and blue alternately. This blinking pattern indicates that the earbuds are in a pairing or "matching" state. They are ready to establish a connection with a Bluetooth-enabled device.
Tap on “iRocker” from the list of available devices on your phone to pair:
On your mobile phone, go to the Bluetooth settings. You should see a list of available Bluetooth devices, including the Infinix Airpod Snokor, which may appear as "iRocker" or a similar name.
