Are you convinced that you don't have to throw everything away immediately if something breaks? We think so too, and luckily more and more people think so. In most cases, you can save a lot of money by repairing something and you have less of an impact on the environment. Unfortunately, not every problem can be solved with a repair.
Today we would like to take a look at whether and how AirPods can be repaired. What problems are known with the headphones? What can you do about them and are there ways to prevent a defect? In the event that an AirPods repair is not possible in your case, we will also tell you how you can buy AirPods individually from us.
What are the known damages to AirPods?
Intensive use and carelessness in usage can lead to various types of damage to the headphones of
The batteries are also susceptible to defects. Depending on how often and how you use your in-ears, you can prevent this. Ultimately, however, it must be said that the battery is subject to wear and tear with continued use.
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 against opening the case yourself, because that is only possible if you destroy it. Unlike a bicycle or an older car, the delicate electronics are not suitable for tinkering with yourself.
However, 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're having problems with reception, make sure that both the headphones and your playback device have the latest firmware installed. This can resolve connection issues. 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 deactivate or move out of range all other Bluetooth devices. This way you can rule out any interference and get 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 will happen even if you follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding discharging and charging. In order to be able to listen to music as usual, it makes sense to simply replace the AirPods batteries. And here comes the bad news. This is not intended and therefore not possible.
If you are sure that your problems are caused by the batteries, then you will unfortunately have to invest in new headphones instead of replacing the AirPods batteries. The only exception: You are still under the manufacturer's warranty and have the chance to contact

What to do if AirPods cannot be repaired

Here again we have to make a comparison with cars or bicycles. While a €100 repair is always worth it because the vehicle is much more expensive, you have to question the cost-effectiveness of headphones.
