Use your replacement AirPods Max
Your replacement Apple product is covered by a 90-day service warranty, or the remainder of your original product warranty or AppleCare plan, whichever is longer. Consumer law will also apply to your replacement product where available.
Place your ear cushions on your AirPods Max. Make sure you align the left (L) cushion to your left ear and the right (R) cushion to your right ear, and that the L and R appear right-side up when you're looking at your headphones upright. If your cushions are installed on the wrong side or upside down, your AirPods Max won't perform the way they should.
