Ear cushions are now available to order. FYI.

My pre-order on the black cushions are preparing to ship.

For those who want to customize theirs.

I would also advise washing them before wearing as I’ve had allergic reaction on both of my APMs. Washing these took that allergic chemical away (or at least minimized it below skin reaction level).

Nice, I'll think about ordering a blue pair :)

I would advise NOT to wash them, only if you are one of the very very, very few people that had an allergic reaction with anything.
Washing these is fine, but improper drying can lead to a lot of moisture still inside the cushions, (even when they feel dry) and possibly destroying your headphones.

watch from 4:30

Improper drying is the keyword. Period. I've washed the ear cushions on two of my AirPods Max and ensured to dried them at least 24 hours before attaching.

Also the above video is a post about people wearing these non-certified IPX headphones to the gym. To the gym. That's on them and to the next level of being smart really.

Any headphone will accumulate moisture which any normal person will produce. The presence of metal versus plastic will compound the issue.

Anyone like myself who has owned metal headphones since decades will know this.
