There's nothing cheap about the new AirPods Pro. And that includes replacing and ??? ????? ??????repairing them.
There are plenty of good reasons to yearn for the new, noise-canceling AirPods Pro. They look great, but if you lose or damage them, be prepared to pay up. Individual earbud replacements will run you $89, as will replacing the charging case, as spotted on Apple's support website by 9to5Mac.
In other words, replacing all the components of AirPods Pro would cost slightly more than just buying a new pair for $249.99. What a bargain. As far as Apple is concerned, that's what AppleCare is for.

Keep in mind that every AirPods purchase also comes with a one-year warranty, which is doubled with AppleCare+ for Headphones.
It's worth noting that the default warranty is limited to manufacturing defects and not simple wear-and-tear.

The sales pitch is pretty strong: Pay this fee now and you won't have to worry too much about future repairs for Apple headphones. No piece of tech is invincible, and AirPods are smaller and easier to lose than most headphones.
Seeing as how tech companies are increasingly fixated on squeezing money out of customers through subscriptions, that makes sense. Apple took big leaps with services in 2019, with Apple News+, Apple TV+, and Apple Arcade.
