Fixing AirPods isn’t always free. Apple's warranty typically covers manufacturing defects for one year. If your AirPods need repair due to this, you might not incur costs. However, for issues like battery replacement or damage not covered by the warranty, there will be a service fee. AppleCare+ can extend coverage and reduce some repair costs. Always check with Apple Support for specific coverage and pricing details related to your issue.
