An odyssey awaits you !
With headaches and loss of sleep and time!
These are now my third Airpods pro 2 !
1)
The first time I encountered a problem with my Apple headphones was quite frustrating. I had driven for an hour to the Apple store, found parking, and explained the issue with my headphones. Fortunately, the staff at Apple agreed to replace them for me. However, this was only the beginning of my troubles.
After only two weeks, the new right earphone stopped charging. I found myself back at the Apple store repeating the same process. This time, they replaced both headphones and the case. Unfortunately, the problems persisted. Two months later, the case had inflated...
At this point, I was grateful for the accommodating nature of Apple, as they replaced the case for me. However, the refurbished nature of the replacement caused even more problems with the Bluetooth connection.
Thankfully, I had purchased the headphones from Amazon, and they came to my rescue.
Amazon not only took back the headphones, including the replacements from Apple, but also refunded me the money. This allowed me to purchase new Airpods Pro 2.
At the beginning of the year the same issue with the new Airpods 2 and now again ! Same game Amazon take it back and gave me money to buy new one !
The END:
I don't know why they are so vulnerable ! maybe firmware updates have broken something or the system ... who knows..My mum has been using the first generation of airpods for 4 years without any problems!
I currently use my 6-year-old headphones for phone calls and the Apple headphones for listening to music.
I am super disappointed! I have been a loyal Apple customer for 10 years but the service and quality of your products has deteriorated so much ...
