						<p>Apple has confirmed a widespread hardware issue that may afflict any AirPods Pro earbuds made before October.</p>
<p>The iPhone maker over the weekend launched an <strong>official service program</strong> to replace AirPods that have begun making a crackling or static sound. On its page, Apple explains that it &#8220;has determined that a small percentage of AirPods Pro may experience sound issues,&#8221; noting that crackling may increase in loud environments.</p>
<p>Other users may experience problems with the headphones&#8217; active noise cancellation feature, which could eliminate bass in music or actually amplify background noises.</p>
<p>Users running into the hardware glitches will be eligible to receive free replacements of the faulty earbuds. A replacement AirPod would normally cost $89 for each bud, not including its wireless charging case.</p>
<p>Apple isn&#8217;t guaranteeing the AirPods against any hardware failure, however. The offer will only be eligible for two years after the purchase of the defective unit.</p>
<p>Apple recently <strong>eliminated the free wired headphones</strong> it normally includes in the box with each iPhone, as AirPods have become a multi-billion business on their own.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not the first time Apple has had to offer free replacements for faulty products. Back in 2018, the company introduced a repair program for the “butterfly” butterfly, which Apple had introduced to enable ever-thinner laptops, but which <strong>proved faulty</strong>.</p>
