AirPods repair in Amsterdam

A case that will not charge, or dirt in the contacts? We take a look for free.

At Blue Apple in Amsterdam Zuid we look at AirPods, AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. And we would rather be clear straight away about what is and is not possible, because with AirPods that is a more honest conversation than with a phone.

The earbuds themselves are not made to be opened. The battery in the stem is the size of a grain of rice and fully potted, so buds whose playing time keeps dropping cannot realistically be restored. We would rather tell you that before you commission a repair than after. The charging case is another matter: there is a real battery in there, and a case that no longer tops up your buds, or no longer charges itself, can often be fixed.

What we can do for you

The most common problem we solve is not a fault at all: dirt. A layer of earwax, lint and skin oil builds up in the charging contacts of the case and on the contacts of the buds, and then one bud stops topping up or charging stops altogether. That is cleaning work, and often that is the end of it. Beyond that we deal with moisture damage inside the case and look at its charging port. Whatever is going on with yours, we establish it for free, and if replacing is smarter than repairing we will say so — even though that means we earn nothing from your visit.

Drop them in, in Amsterdam Zuid

You will find us on Rijnstraat 76-H in the Rivierenbuurt, walking distance from Amsterdam RAI station and close to the Zuidas, De Pijp and Oud-Zuid. AirPods are small enough to drop in with on the way past. Bring the case and both buds even if only one has stopped working: the cause lies in the case more often than you would think.

Frequently asked questions about AirPods repair

Can you replace the battery in my AirPods?
Not in the earbuds. The battery there is the size of a grain of rice, fully potted, and the stem is not made to be opened. The charging case does have a real battery and that is often doable. We would rather tell you that honestly than try it and send you home with two broken buds.
One of my buds no longer charges.
Start with the case rather than the bud. The charging contacts inside fill up with earwax, lint and skin oil, and then one bud stops making contact. Cleaning solves that in many cases. Bring the case and both buds and we will test which of the three it is.
My charging case will not charge itself.
That is usually the charging port or the case battery, and both can be looked at. Try another cable first to rule that out. Bring the case in and we will measure it out for free and tell you what it costs before we do anything.
My AirPods got wet.
Do not put them on a radiator and do not put them in the case to charge, because that sends current through contacts with moisture between them. Let them air-dry first and bring them in. With the case we can clean and remove the corrosion; with the buds themselves, the honest odds are slim.
What does it cost to have them looked at?
Nothing. We establish what is going on for free and tell you what it costs, or that repairing is not worth it. You decide after that, and if you say no it has cost you nothing but the trip.
