If you are asking how can I get a replacement EarPods for free, then it will require that you visit your local Apple Store to have an Apple Technician examine them. Should they determine that the issue is due to a manufacturing defect, you may find that they will offer you a replacement for free. Otherwise, you should expect to have to pay for a replacement.
