Issues that may arise from the defect include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Crackling audio and static sounds\u2014particularly in loud environments, when exercising, or while talking on the phone.<\/li>\n<li>Problems getting Active Noise Cancellation working properly (including loss of bass and tinny audio, or increased background noise).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The issue may affect both left and right earbuds, and it\u2019s possible that only one earbud will need replacing.

It\u2019s also difficult to know truly how old your AirPods Pro are, even if you bought them in 2021 or later.<\/p>\n<p>The replacement program is running all over the world in countries like the US, Great Britain, and Australia. The process is the same in all territories. You can either find a local Apple Authorized Service Provider, make an appointment at an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/retail\">Apple Store<\/a> near you (if you have one) or contact <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/getsupport.apple.com\">Apple Support<\/a> directly.<\/p>\n<p>Your AirPods Pro will be tested for issues and if any problems are found you will be offered a replacement pair. Some users (including How-To Geek staff) have reported only noticing issues in one earbud but having both exchanged as part of the program.<\/p>\n<p>Since the issue only affects earbuds, Apple won\u2019t replace the charging case that came with your original purchase.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apples_Best_Earbuds\"><\/span>Apple\u2019s Best Earbuds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The AirPods Pro are excellent wireless earbuds that work well with the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac.
