To determine if your AirPods are eligible for free replacement, firstly, check if they are still under the original one-year warranty, which covers defects but not accidental damage. Next, visit the Apple Support website and enter your AirPods' serial number for eligibility status. If you've purchased AppleCare+ for Headphones, it extends your repair coverage to two years from your AppleCare+ purchase date, including accidental damage protection, subject to a fee. Always ensure to have your purchase proof and serial number ready for verification.
