At this point, Apple is the only place in town that can repair AirPods. So, if your AirPods are broken, you have only one question to ask yourself: Do I visit the Genius Bar at an Apple Store to repair my AirPods or do I use Apple’s mail-in repair service?

How To Repair Your AirPods At The Genius Bar In An Apple Store

2. Make sure to check in at the Genius Bar when you arrive.

How To Repair Your AirPods Using Apple’s Mail-In Repair Service

Many iPhone problems are caused when Settings isn’t set up correctly or by corruption within individual Settings app files. Restoring the Settings app back to factory defaults doesn’t fix every iPhone software problem, but it is a go-to fix for Apple technicians because it does solve a lot of problems that would be very difficult to to track down by hand.

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap General.
3. Scroll down and tap Transfer Or Reset iPhone.
4. Tap Reset.
5. Tap Reset All Settings.
6. Enter your passcode, if prompted.
7. Tap Reset All Settings again to confirm your decision.
8. Your iPhone will shut down, complete the reset, and turn itself on again will automatically turn back on when the reset finishes.

It may seem simple, but resetting your AirPods may fix minor software bugs such as connectivity issues or a quickly draining battery. Like resetting an iPhone, resetting your AirPods gives them a “fresh start.”

1. Press and hold the setup button on the back of your Charging Case.
2. Release the setup button when status light flashes amber a few times, then flashes white.
3. Your AirPods have been reset.
4. Connect your AirPods to your device, just like you did when you set them up the first time.

If the balance is set to the left or the right, one side of your headphones will sound louder than the other. A lot of people use earbuds these days, and it can get rather irritating if the audio coming from them is at different levels.

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap Accessibility.
3. Tap Audio/Visual.
4. To set the audio balance to normal, drag the slider to the center.

If dirt, dust, or other debris gets into your AirPods or Charging Case, it can affect their functionality and cause hardware problems. For example, if there is debris in your Charging Case, your AirPods may not charge properly.

1. Get a soft, lint-free cloth. Don’t use tissue or cloth that will break up inside your devices.
2. Gently wipe your AirPods and Charging Case with the cloth.
3. For more compact debris, you can use an anti-static brush or new toothbrush to clean it out.
