Loose hinge on my Airpods 2

I have a 4-day old airpods and i noticed the right hinge part has more gap compared to the left hinge. It's kind of an eyesore looking a little line on the hinge and the gap doesn't blend in to the matte gray color. Doesn't look premium at all considering paying $200, in our country paid 11,790 in peso. Is this a quality issue? Should i have it replace? Downside part bought in Power Mac store they have this so called contract when you have to replace an item have to pay 25% of it which is unfair. Let me know what you think about the hinge.

This issue will not take away from the function of the AirPods, but if it bother's you get it replaced. I would never spend my money in a store with this policy. Most of the tech gadgets I have bought through the years are from stores with a 30 day no excuse return policy. If they don't have it in stock, I'm willing to wait. Try contacting Apple.

Thanks for the reply Stephen. Anyhow, I'm planning to go to the retail store today where i bought them.


If it's not too much to ask though, any way you could show me a back part pic of the airpods charger? Just wanted to see how it normally looks like without the flaw (loose hinge)


**if anyone also saw my thread feel free to send me a back part pic of your airpods charger (gen 2) see how it normally looks. TIA apple community.
