Have you recently purchased AirPods and are now looking for information about returning or replacing them? You’ve come to the right place. We’ll walk you through the process so that you can get your AirPods replaced or refunded with ease.
Before we jump into the specifics, it’s important to understand that Apple offers a limited warranty on both AirPods and any Apple-branded accessories that come in the box with them. This warranty covers manufacturing defects for one year from the date of purchase. Apple-branded accessories purchased separately are also covered by this limited warranty, but keep in mind that these have different return policies.
If your AirPods or accessories suffer a manufacturing defect, then you can easily return them to an Apple Store or contact Apple Support to arrange a repair or replacement. However, if you simply want to return your AirPods for any other reason (such as if they don’t fit correctly, etc.) then you’ll need to follow the instructions below.
The first step is determining whether or not your item can be returned. Generally speaking, items can be returned as long as they are still sealed in their original packaging and you have proof of purchase (such as a receipt). If your item has been opened and/or used, then it is likely non-refundable.
Once you’ve determined that your item is eligible for a return, then all you need to do is contact an Apple Store or call Apple Support directly at 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) in order to initiate the return process. The Apple representative will provide further instructions on how to proceed with the return/replacement process.
We hope this article has helped clear up any confusion regarding returning/replacing AirPods and other accessories! If you have any further questions feel free to contact us anytime!
Returning an Apple AirPod Replacement

Does Apple Offer Free Replacement for Defective AirPods?
Yes, Apple will replace defective AirPods for free within the one-year warranty period. If your AirPods or the Apple-branded accessories that come with them have any manufacturing issues, you can contact Apple or make an appointment at an Apple Store to have them inspected and, if necessary, replaced. If any Apple-branded accessories purchased separately are found to be defective within the one-year warranty period, they can also be replaced for free.
Cost of Replacing One AirPod
Replacing just one AirPod can cost anywhere from $59 to $89 USD depending on the type of AirPod you have. For the standard AirPods (1st generation), it will cost $69 USD to replace either earbud, the wireless charging case, or the MagSafe charging case. However, if you have the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) or its case, it will cost $89 USD to replace just one.
Replacing AirPods Under Warranty
If you are looking to replace your AirPods under warranty, you have a few options. The first is to schedule an appointment at an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Store. During the appointment, you will be able to discuss the issue with a specialist and they will determine if you are eligible for a warranty replacement.
Alternatively, you can arrange to mail your product directly to Apple for repair and replacement. This process can be started by contacting an Apple Support Advisor who will provide instructions on how to send in your product.
Finally, if none of these options work for you, there may be other service and support options available. Contacting an Apple Support Advisor is the best way to find out what other services may be available for replacing your AirPods under warranty.
Conclusion
In conclusion, if you need to return or replace your AirPods, you should do so within one year of your purchase date. You will still be able to return the item as long as it has not been opened and you have a copy of the proof of purchase. Additionally, any Apple-branded accessories that come in the box with your product are covered by the Apple Limited Warranty for one year from the date of purchase. If you have purchased any Apple-branded accessories separately, they are also covered by the Apple Limited Warranty for Accessories.
