As enthusiastic users, we can hardly do without our Apple Airpods in life. Uli, the founder of IlostMyEarbud.com, was walking with his dog near his apartment in Munich on the Isar one day when one of the ear pieces accidentally fell out of his ear. The moment he turned to pick it up, he heard a faint crack. He discovered that a passerby immediately behind him accidentally stepped on the fallen airpod. There was a crack in the case and a quick test confirmed the fear that the Airpod was no longer working.

At first glance, he was forced to dispose of his beloved Airpods and replace them with a new set. But he didn’t just want to accept this. Therefore, he started to find out more about Airpods and the repair options. The research confirmed what a great product Apple Airpods actually are and that there are few comparable offers on the market in terms of performance and the associated price. At the same time, however, it also became clear that a large number of possible problems can still arise and the solution is not always entirely obvious.

After studying the subject more closely, he found that friends and acquaintances regularly found themselves in similar problematic situations. Thanks to the specialist knowledge he had acquired, he was able to help most of them – often using simple tricks that did not incur any costs. In the few cases in which spare parts were actually required, they could be acquired more cheaply by buying them together and then splitting up a complete set than from Apple Service.

This laid the foundation for the IlostMyEarbud.com online portal. Users can find comprehensive information about various types of challenges and problems with their Airpods. Detailed information, tips, diagnostic options and step-by-step instructions are available to the public free of charge. In addition, there are original spare parts on offer, which we buy and repack in a set. And at prices that are well below those of Apple Service and other authorized dealers.
