The batteries are also susceptible to defects. Depending on how often and how you use your in-ears, you can prevent this. Ultimately, it must also be said that the battery is subject to wear and tear as use progresses.
What options are there for repairing AirPods?
What can you do if you want to repair your AirPods yourself due to a malfunction? We can only advise you not to open the case yourself, because this is only possible if you destroy it. Unlike a bicycle or an older car, the fine electronics are not suitable for tinkering with yourself.
But there are still a few things you can do yourself. If you're lucky, you can fix the existing problem with this AirPods repair and use them again without restrictions.
Check the software
If you have problems with reception, you should make sure that the latest firmware is installed for both the headphones and your playback device. This can solve connection problems. You can also try using the AirPods with an alternative device to narrow down whether the problem is with the headphones.
Also try to either disable any other Bluetooth devices or move them out of range. This way you can rule out any disruptive influence and come closer to deciding whether you need to buy an AirPod separately as a replacement.
Check the battery
As with any other battery, performance will decrease with prolonged use. This happens even if you follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding discharging and charging. In order to be able to listen to music to the usual extent again, it makes sense to simply replace the AirPods batteries. And here comes the bad news. This is not intended and therefore not possible.

- Clean your in-ears regularly. Care extends the useful life. This also applies to
Apple headphones. Take a little time at regular intervals to thoroughly clean. - Keep an eye on the battery. Make sure that you bring the charge level of the battery as low as possible. Since you cannot replace AirPods batteries, this is particularly important.
