What are earwax filters?
Earwax filters, also sometimes called wax screens or wax guards, are mesh guards that fit at the opening of the nozzle and protect the sound channels of your in-ear monitors from earwax and other debris.
Over time, earwax and skin oils can build up on the filters and cause the sound to become lower or even be blocked completely. We recommend cleaning your filters (and ears!) often to prevent earwax buildup, but in some cases replacing the filters may be the best way to restore your monitors’ performance.
Why are the filters different for each model?
Using different thickness filters can affect the audio performance of your monitors. When ordering replacements, be sure to select your exact in-ear monitor model from the dropdown menu to maintain the original audio specifications.
Do colors matter?
No, the filters intended for the same model (e.g. MX1 PRO) are identical in thickness between the two colors, so filter color is a matter of preference.
