Hi,
Is it safe or okay to clean my pc speakers by one of these blowers??
just to remove the dust on the protective net of speakers , as i have Logitech x 530 5.1

I have those exact speakers and have used air dusters before. As long as your don't have too much concentrated air you'll be fine.

With a blower you might force dust into the compartments of the speakers possibly reducing sound quality. I've used a vacuum with one of those "brushes/bristles" add-on at the tip of the vacuum to clean the speakers easily.

If your vacuum is very strong you could even attach a sock/nylon at the end of the bristles to reduce the suction.

Static can easily be circumvented by grounding yourself while you clean the speakers, and to not clean them on a carpet or move around too much when cleaning them.

Just always make sure to unplug the speakers from the wall or any electronics when doing so.

Thanks for all replays , +1 for using a Vaccum instead of blowers 😀

compressed air is the best way to dust off speakers since its not invasive and nothing will actually touch the speaker domes.

by that i mean the stuff which comes in a can.

source? i've had those speakers for 10 years.
