r/AirpodsPro on Reddit: Airpods pro 1st gen post October 2020 manufacturing date static issues
August 27, 2022 -

I bought my Airpods pro 1st gen in April 2021. About 2 months ago I started getting the static sound with ANC and transparency mode. I thought I was going crazy at first.

I contacted Apple support online and they told me to go in store.

I went to a genius bar appointment.

They confirmed that both earbuds have static issue. However, I was told the airpods pro were manufactured in March 2021 (after October 2020) so not eligible for free replacement and I'm obviously out of warranty now too.

I was given 2 choices: replace each earbud at $115 cad (total $230 cad) with 1st gen or just buy the new 2nd gen for $329.

I mean I don't think 17 months is that long of a time.

Has anyone had any static issues with post October 2020 manufactured Airpods pro 1st gen? Did Apple replace them for free?
