Chosen Solution

Apple has anticipated replacing the ear cups but I really wonder about the head band. There doesn’t appear to be removable and seems like it will wear out rather quickly.

There’s a pin hole you can stick something like a SIM ejector tool into that will “eject” the headband. It feels replaceable.

All of their products are designed with forced obsolescence and as little reparability as possible in mind. And their whole line of Airpods are no exception.

I’ve checked with Apple Genius Bar and unfortunately Apple is currently unable to offer replacement headbands.

Is there any third party headband I can use? Apple doesn’t provide this spare part.
