Belkin has launched an intriguing AirPods Cleaning Kit this week. Designed for gen 1, 2, or 3 of Apple’s hit earphones, the kit includes a solution that the company says not only removes earwax but also brings “your high-quality audio back.”

Interestingly, Belkin says this cleaning kit is only for AirPods (all 3 generations) and does not list AirPods Pro as “compatible.” Here’s the company’s pitch for the kit which includes a cleaning brush, wax softener, cleaning gel, and microfiber cloth:
