How often should you replace the green filters? I've been using mine for about 2 months now. What's your normal replacement schedule?

I posted a pole before on this a few weeks ago. Most people change them every couple months or even less often. I think I will replace mine every two months or when the sound seems to be degrading.

Personally, I wouldn't replace my filters on a set schedule. It depends on each individual's earwax production, hygiene, the tips used, and how they are inserted.

Change them when you see they are contaminated, or when the output becomes impaired. Don't worry, they won't be damaged if they become clogged and any impairment will be noticeable.

Change it when you need to.

I was cleaning my ear tips and I accidentally contaminated the filter of right driver. That side immediately went mute, so I had to replace the filters.

If you clean your ears on a regular basis, you should rarely need to change the green filters. I changed mine after a year, just because I figured it was time. No difference in sound. Unless you notice a blockage in sound, you probably won't need to change them. Ever.
