Since they were introduced, AirPods have become an important part of the entire Apple ecosystem. Thanks to this, you can switch your usage very easily between your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV — using your Apple ID.
Despite such ease of use, these headphones are tiny (with the exception of the AirPods Max, another category of headphones). Therefore, it is important that you take extra care whenever using them in your home or in other environments.
Maçã even implemented features that help you find your headphones using an app Look for (Find My)but it doesn’t always work out the way we imagined.
With that in mind, below are some tips on what you can do if you lose your headphones or charging case.
Contact Apple
Apple itself offers a repair option for AirPods called “Lost Item”. At the company website, the values for each item are divided according to generation.
GenerationPriceAirPods (1st, 2nd and 3rd generations)R$579 (each side)AirPods Pro (1st and 2nd generations)R$739 (each side)Lightning charging case (2nd generation AirPods and earlier)R$489Wireless charging case (AirPods 2nd generation and earlier)R$659Wireless charging case (AirPods Pro)R$829MagSafe charging case (3rd generation AirPods)R$659MagSafe charging case (AirPods Pro)R$659
If you only lost the case, these values may even compensate (although they are absurd).
Things start to get complicated for those who missed out on both sides, as the price can be close to R$1,500, in the case of the AirPods Pro. And, as we usually advertise promotions for them on 2000 Offers Often, one has to wonder whether it wouldn’t be worth buying a new pair right away.
If you have first or second generation AirPods and so wish, it is still possible purchase them directly from the Apple Store Online. This, however, will be more expensive than activating the warranty, leaving for R$861. ????♂️
Other options (third parties)
Although it is not highly recommended, sites like AliExpress offer options for generic charging cases for the headphones. Here are some tips found there:
Another alternative is to look on sites like OLX and Mercado Livre, where consumers usually sell one of the sides (in case of losses in which there is no interest in replacing the other side) or just the case (if both headphones have been lost).
If you choose to do so, our tip is to always check whether the phone or case is original. This can be confirmed by a laser engraving on each side or on the case itself.
Have you ever been in a similar situation where you needed to buy individual items? ????
