Airpods Max Headband Fix?

Apple Airpods Max - Headband Replacement?

I've had mine for a while now but the mesh is so loose to the point where wearing them for 15+ minutes it becomes unbairable.

What can I do?

Airpod mismatch I bought airpod pros 2 years ago now that the air bud or rubber portion of the airpods wore off I noticed that they are two different airpods. One has a black metal mesh part while the other got white. I don't know what to do because I need to replace the rubber portion in order to use it. I have anxiety and it helps me when I work. Can you please help?

Multiple Faulty AirPods Pro 2 Replacements – Need Proper Resolution Hello Apple Team, I am facing repeated issues with my AirPods Pro 2 and the replacements I have received, and I am extremely frustrated at this point. Here is exactly what has happened: My original AirPods Pro 2 had glitching issues, so Apple replaced both AirPods under warranty. In the replacement pair, the left AirPod was not properly aligned, which caused discomfort while inserting and removing it. I visited the service center again, and they replaced the left AirPod. However, this new left AirPod is now producing a clipping/clicking sound every time I put it in my ear. The issue starts immediately and is very noticeable. This means that in a short time, I have received three faulty units in total, and I’ve had to visit the store multiple times. This has been extremely inconvenient and disappointing, especially for a premium product. I kindly request your help in resolving this properly. I would prefer: A complete full-unit replacement (both AirPods and the charging case), or A guaranteed, thoroughly checked, non-defective replacement. I just want a stable, working pair without having to return again. Thank you for your time and support.
