🔋 Replacing the AirPods charging case for all models - what is important to know?

The AirPods charging case is not just a box in which you store your earbuds. It is a full-fledged device responsible for charging, connecting to your iPhone, and synchronizing. And if it breaks or gets lost, you cannot fully use your AirPods. In such cases, the only solution is replacement of charging caseIn this article we will tell you, when it is worth changing the case, what replacement options exist, and what is important to pay attention to.

❗ When do you need to replace the charging case?

Problems with the case can be divided into two categories:

📉 Breakdown:

• The case does not charge the headphones

• The case itself does not charge from the cable

• The contact group oxidized due to moisture

• The indicator does not work or flashes constantly

• The case is not visible to the device (not synced)

📦 Loss:

• Loss of a case (often on the road, business trips, flights)

• Damage to the case or cover

• Mechanical damage that makes use impossible

🔄 What are the options for replacing the case?

There are three main ways to restore work:

✅ 1. Buying an original charging case

This is the most reliable, but also the most expensive option. If you value quality and want to avoid any incompatibilities, take the original.

Pros:

• 100% compatibility

• Safe charging

• Reliable synchronization with iPhone

Cons:

• High price

• It is difficult to find an original without a set

✅ 2. Buying a refurbished (ref) case

These are original cases that have been refurbished (eg battery or charging port replaced) and tested.

Pros:

• Lower price than new

• Genuine build and stable operation

Cons:

• It is important to buy only from a trusted service

• May have minor cosmetic signs of use.

✅ 3. Buying an analogue

There are non-original cases on the market - most often Chinese replicas. They are visually similar, but often work unstably.

Pros:

• Very low price

Cons:

• Risk of damaging the headphones while charging

• No sync

• They break down quickly

🔴 We do not recommend using such cases., especially with AirPods Pro and Pro 2, where stable operation and accurate data transfer are important.
