If you have problems with your AirPods Max and need to get a replacement pair under warranty, it looks like the new set will be delivered without an updated set of ear pads.

AN 9to5Mac The reader sent a pair of irAirPods Max for repair due to a problem with the digital crown, and the replacement kit he received back did not include ear cushions.
Instead, Apple expects users to keep the ear pads of the damaged PAirPods Max set for use with the replacement pair, unless, of course, the ear pads themselves have also been damaged. Given the modular design of the PAirPods Max, it is possible for Apple to ship only the headphones or just the ear pads for replacement purposes.
Apple’s instructions for shipping on the irAirPods Max include a diagram that instructs users to remove the ear pads before shipping the AirPods Max in a repair box.

With the replacement of AirPods Pro models, Apple offers new ear tips, but AirPods Pro ear tips cost $ 8, instead of $ 69, like AirPods Max ear cushions, so it’s no surprise that they come separately.
At the moment, Apple is not selling ear cushions independently, but they are likely to be available when inventory increases. Purchases of Apple’s “AirPods Max” continue to have March delivery dates at this time.
