Title
Google Pixel Buds A-Series Sound Chamber Mesh Removal
Introduction
The Google Pixel Buds A-Series are essentially a cheaper version of the [[Topic:Google Pixel Buds 2|Google Pixel Buds 2|new_window=true]]. One notable difference is that the sound chamber cover is no longer a robust metal grid, but glued-on very thin mesh.
This mesh can become damaged or clogged with oils and other substances, which can greatly reducing the maximum volume of the buds or creating noise due to becoming loose. Note that Google advises you to not get liquids other than water on the ear buds, but in my case, ear drops containing alcohol and glycerine got on the ear buds and caused damage to the mesh.
This guide shows how to remove this protective mesh and restore sound quality.

Conclusion
The removed mesh could cause increased ingress of dirt and liquids in the future. You could try to create a new cover made out of fine brass mesh for example, but the removed cover mesh also allows you to carefully clean the inside, with a soft brush, so this isn't a big deal.
