Repairing a broken AirPod can be a frustrating experience, especially if you’re out of warranty. The cost of repairing a broken AirPod depends on which specific part needs to be replaced. Apple provides different pricing for each component, including the earbuds themselves, the charging cases, and any additional accessories.
For the AirPods themselves, if you need to replace one earbud, it will cost you $69 USD. This applies to both the left and right earbuds, so if both are damaged, you would need to pay $69 for each. It’s worth noting that the replacement cost is the same regardless of whether you have AirPods Pro or the standard AirPods.
Moving on to the charging cases, there are a few different options available. If you have the wireless charging case or the MagSafe charging case, the cost to replace it is also $69 USD. However, if you have the standard wired charging case, the replacement cost is slightly lower at $59 USD.
It’s important to mention that these prices are for out-of-warranty repairs. If your AirPods are still covered by Apple’s warranty or if you have purchased AppleCare+, the cost of repairs may be different. It’s always a good idea to check with Apple or your authorized service provider for the most accurate and up-to-date pricing.
When it comes to the repair process itself, it’s generally recommended to contact Apple Support or visit an authorized service provider. They can assess the damage and provide you with the best course of action. In some cases, they may be able to offer a repair option that costs less than a full replacement.
In my personal experience, I had to replace a single AirPod earbud after it was accidentally dropped and damaged. I reached out to Apple Support, and they guided me through the repair process. While the cost of a replacement was not ideal, I appreciated the assistance I received and the convenience of being able to get a replacement earbud without having to purchase an entirely new set.
The cost to repair a broken AirPod depends on the specific part that needs to be replaced. Out-of-warranty replacement costs are $69 USD for each earbud, wireless charging case, or MagSafe charging case, and $59 USD for the wired charging case. It’s always recommended to reach out to Apple Support or an authorized service provider for accurate and personalized pricing and repair options.
