Learn how to send your Beats Studio Buds and charging case to Apple using Express Replacement Service

Here's how to send your Beats Studio Buds and charging case to Apple after you get a replacement.

After you’ve contacted Apple for service, you’ll receive a replacement product with instructions to return your original product. Instructions may vary by country or region.

Important: Be sure to return your product so that Apple receives it within 10 days of the day your replacement product was shipped to you by Apple (check your ship date). If Apple doesn't receive your original product within 10 days, or if Apple technicians find that your original product is ineligible for service or for issues that are not covered by an active AppleCare+ plan, you'll be charged the full value of the replacement product. For more details, see Beats Express Replacement Service, ERS terms and conditions for service covered by Apple's Limited Warranty or an AppleCare plan, or ERS terms and conditions for service not covered by Apple's Limited Warranty, an AppleCare plan, or consumer law.
