How to send your Powerbeats Pro earbuds to Apple for repair from the United States and Canada

Here's how you send your Powerbeats Pro earbuds to Apple for service.

After you’ve contacted Apple for a service, you’ll receive a kit that contains everything you need to return your product to Apple.

Pack your Powerbeats Pro earbuds

  1. Put each of your Powerbeats Pro earbuds into a separate small plastic bag and fold down the flaps to seal the bags. Don't include any accessories with your earbuds (such as your eartips or charging cable). If you include extra items in the box, we won't be able to return them to you.
  2. Place each of your bagged earbuds into one of the smaller holes in the plastic insert.
  3. Place your charging case in the large plastic bag and fold down the flap to seal it.
  4. Place your bagged charging case into the large hole in the plastic insert.
  5. Peel off the protective tape and place it on the box as shown.*
  6. Place the battery sticker on the bottom of the brown box.  Do not cover it with the tape or wrap it around the side of the box.
  7. Remove the top label from the box. This is your receipt. Make sure the return shipping label remains on the box.

2. A buyer of this product in California has the right to have this product serviced or repaired during the warranty period.
