Learn the right way to clean your Logitech G335 headset to maintain clear audio and comfort. This guide covers ear pads, mesh, and microphone care.

Quick answer

To keep your Logitech G335 headset sounding clear and feeling comfortable, clean the ear pads and mesh weekly with a dry microfiber cloth and use a soft brush for the microphone grille. Avoid liquids near the drivers.

Why regular cleaning matters for the G335

Dust and earwax buildup on the ear pads and speaker mesh can muffle sound and reduce bass response over time. The G335's lightweight design and breathable fabric ear pads are comfortable, but they also trap debris more easily than leather pads.

Skipping cleaning can also affect the flip-to-mute microphone. A clogged grille may make your voice sound distant or quiet to others on calls or in-game.

What not to use on your headset

Never spray liquid directly onto the headset. Moisture can seep into the driver housing and damage the speakers or mute switch. Stick to dry or barely damp cloths.

Avoid alcohol wipes on the ear pads — they can dry out the foam and cause the fabric to peel. Use a mild soap solution only if needed, and only on the removable parts.

Step-by-step cleaning guide

Remove the ear pads: Gently pull the ear pads away from the ear cups. They are attached by a simple clip ring — do not yank. Once removed, shake out loose debris and wipe the foam with a dry microfiber cloth. Checkpoint: If the pads are visibly stained, use a barely damp cloth with a drop of mild soap, then air-dry completely before reattaching.
Clean the speaker mesh: Use a soft, dry toothbrush or a clean makeup brush to gently sweep away dust from the mesh covering the drivers. Brush in one direction to avoid pushing debris into the mesh. Common mistake: pressing the brush too hard can dent the mesh and affect sound — use light strokes only.
Wipe the headband and outer shell: Dampen a microfiber cloth with water (wring it out fully) and wipe the suspension band and plastic ear cup housings. Avoid the inner mesh and any openings. Dry with a separate cloth. Checkpoint: The suspension band stretches over time if pulled — always support it from underneath while wiping.
Clean the microphone grille: With the microphone flipped down, use a dry toothpick or a soft brush to gently dislodge dust from the tiny holes on the mic tip. Do not insert anything into the holes — just brush the surface. Common mistake: blowing into the mic can push moisture and dust deeper — always brush instead.
Reassemble and test audio: Snap the ear pads back into place, ensuring the clip ring seats evenly all around. Plug in the headset and play a test track or make a test call to confirm both channels and the mic work clearly. Checkpoint: If one side sounds quieter after cleaning, check that the ear pad isn't blocking the mesh — re-seat it if needed.
