I love the airpods but ah... they dont play well with any kind of metal work. If you do metal work with a file the shavings get everywhere and once they stick to the magnet its almost impossible to get them out. I guess this is a very unusual edge case though but thought id post it. lmao.

Iron age problems. Wasn’t a problem in the good ‘ol bronze age.
I use tape, or bluetack. Bluetack is easiest for the external connectors, but a wodge of tape, properly manipulated, can get the internal ones. Can be a bit of a pain, but it's never not worked.
Do you reckon a high psi stream of compressed air would remove the shavings? ie from an air compressor or similar
Probably would need to be careful not to damage the microphones.
Might I recommend something like IsoTunes? Far better product to use in a work environment where you might need to hear something going wrong.
