My AirPods were stolen. I bought them less than a year ago

Sorry,

Apple will not replace AirPods that have been stolen.

They will only replace them if they are under warranty and faulty.

Its like having your iPhone stolen and getting it replaced for free. Like every apple product, if this happens you will have to buy them again.

Take care!

Nope, you will need to buy new ones. Why would you think apple would replace them?
