Ah sorry I’m with you, I just read the table and not the bit above it!

Question - what have people done with their old AirPods? My mum's had a pair for a couple of years now and just replaced them with the Pros as they're losing charge super-quick. Not much point reselling because although the charging time is quick I doubt many people would want to have to keep doing that every couple of hours. I imagine the answer is going to be a) bin b) hand them back to Apple to recycle?

I would keep them as a backup. You never know if you might lose the first set, or need a spare pair for something, without having the time to source a replacement.
So, one of my airpod pros stopped working. Tried a reset and re-pair with same issue.
Going to return them to Argos today, hopefully for a direct replacement set.
Has anyone returned a set? Any problems with return?
I have the receipt, box, etc (they were bought on 30 Dec 2020).
Thanks

Thanks - I was wondering how easy (or awkward) Argos might be. I'm hoping for a replacement set given how new they are.
No idea, that's why I generally only buy Apple stuff from Apple or Amazon as I know returns are simple.
Yes, I normally do the same. In this instance it was a combination of availability at short notice and a slightly cheaper price that I went where I went.
a what?
No idea why I wrote dish! I meant to say credit card blocker.
Got an Apple CC?
Nope, they aren't available in the UK as far as I'm aware. I think I used my Amex.
I would not buy a pair from eBay owing to the rumoured number of fakes.
Indeed, especially as some fakes are so good now you’d struggle to tell them apart, they just lack that finesse that Apple achieve.

As I was down in London earlier this week, I made the most of the Apple stores and booked my Airpods in for the replacement program. Nice and easy, they switched out both Airpods (I kept the original case).
So nice know I have completely refreshed Airpods with new batteries. It'll be interesting to see if I notice a difference, as I was starting to get that crackling effect on the left pod whilst running (with NC on)

The vents on the new ones are a recessed a bit, hopefully it prevents them getting gunked up.
