How do I clean and maintain Isolate?Updated a month ago

Regular cleaning helps keep Isolate comfortable, hygienic, and performing as designed. The metal stems are made to last a lifetime with proper care, while the thermo-reactive memory foam tips should be replaced periodically to maintain a reliable seal.

Cleaning the metal stems

• Wipe the aluminium or titanium stems with warm soapy water using a soft cloth.
• Rinse lightly and dry thoroughly before refitting the tips.
• Avoid solvents, alcohol wipes, or abrasive materials that may damage the finish.

Cleaning the memory foam tips

• Wipe with a lightly damp cloth and allow to dry completely before reuse.
• Do not submerge the tips in water or expose them to heat.
• Inspect regularly for wear, damage, or loss of shape.

Storage

• Keep Isolate in a clean, dry case or pouch when not in use.
• Store away from direct sunlight, moisture, or chemicals.
• Do not store while damp or with compressed foam tips.

Replacement

Memory foam tips typically last around one month depending on use and care. Replace them if they lose shape, no longer expand fully, or the seal feels loose. Replacement tips in all sizes are available at flareaudio.com.

Keeping both the metal stems and memory foam tips clean ensures a consistent fit and long-term sound protection performance.
