Here in this article today, I will be sharing with you, the fruit of my extensive research about what to engrave on AirPods and how can it be done so that the next time, you buy your loved ones a pair of AirPods, you make it more special by personalising it and leave an imprint on their heart forever. 

How To Engrave Your AirPods

Engraving your AirPods is a beautiful idea but you cannot do it on your own or get it done locally. There are standard policies of Apple for engraving and it says that your AirPods can be engraved at the time of purchasing only. Engraving cannot be done on your existing  AirPods, if you wish to get them engraved after a few months. 

Also, do remember while planning to engrave your AirPods that no changes can be made on the engraved text once it is done because it is meticulously done with the laser, when you purchase them. So, be careful while placing your order for engraving and proof-check the text or design twice because once engraved, it cannot be altered and will stay permanently on your AirPods. 

After you have decided what you wish to get engraved on your AirPods, the rest of the process is very simple. You simply have to provide your text or emoji for engraving and Apple will do it free of cost. 

Yes, there are no extra or hidden charges for engraving  the AirPods and it stands true for all models of the Airpods i.e. the AirPods Pro and the AirPods Max too. 

I have briefly listed the steps for you here in case you wish to know how to proceed ahead for engraving your AirPods. 

1. Go to Apple’s Official Website.
2. Tap on ‘AirPods’ and select the AirPods’ model you wish to buy.
3. Tap on ‘Buy’ and then click on ‘Personalise them for free.’ 
4. Now, type in the ‘text’ or ‘emojis’ you wish to engrave.
5. Now, click on ‘Save’. You’ll also be able to see the ‘preview’ of your order. 
6. Then, click on ‘Check-out’ and enter your complete shipping address.
7. Proceed for the payment. 
8. After you have paid, you’ll be able to see the estimated time of delivery. 

Voila !! How easy, isn’t it !! That’s how you can get your AirPods engraved from the comfort of your chair.

Just for your information, I would like to add that not only the AirPods, your iPad Touch and the Apple Pencil can also be engraved and personalised with a lovely message.  

However, there are a few limitations which you must be aware of while deciding to engrave your AirPods. Hop onto the next section to learn about the limitations of AirPods’ engraving.

Limitations

The AirPods are tiny, actually very small in size so the engraving can be done while keeping a  few things in mind. If you have been planning to engrave the entire proposal for your girlfriend on these minuscule AirPods, Ah! That’s not possible. Your AirPods live by the idea of Less is More ! 

1. The text that you wish to get engraved, is confined to the maximum limit of 22 characters on the AirPods Pro and the AirPods Max. 
2. For the standard AirPods ( 2nd and 3rd Gen),  you will have to confine yourself to a maximum of 14 characters only.
   
3. Also you must know that when you will be placing an order to engrave your AirPods, your AirPods’ Case will be engraved, not the bitsy earbuds themselves so don’t go on suing Apple  for tricking you.

One lovely thing is that you get not only the text engraved but also an emoji , a wide range of emojis to choose from. So, if you are a minimalist like me and often fall short of words while expressing feelings, go with a cute heart’s emoji as illustrated in the picture above.

Absolutely !! Now, you get your AirPods and other precious iDevices engraved for free but only at an Apple Store. Plus, it can only be done at the time of purchasing them. 

As explained above, Apple uses laser technology to engrave your AirPods and it’s exclusively done at Apple’s end only. 

Can The AirPods Be Engraved After Purchasing Them ?

No, that’s not possible, unfortunately. You cannot get your existing AirPods engraved, either at the Apple Store or with any local vendor. 

The AirPods can only be engraved at the Apple Store only at the time of purchasing them. However, there are many local organisations who can customise your AirPods using the laser technology but you’ll be charged for this and as I mentioned above, if done at the time of purchasing, Apple would do it free of cost for you. 

Can You Return The AirPods / AirPods Pro After Engraving ? 

According to Apple’s return’s policy for the engraved items, You cannot exchange your AirPods to get another Apple item but Yes ! you can outrightly return your engraved AirPods.

In place of this return, you’ll be refunded using the same payment method which you used to purchase them. 

You must remember that in such a case, the AirPods must be returned within a span of two weeks of receiving them and they can be returned only if you purchased them directly from the Apple store or an authorised Apple dealer.

FAQs

Q1. What is engraving AirPods ?

Answer – If you wish to get your AirPods engraved, you simply have to select a model of AirPods and the team of specialists will hand you over an iPad to enter your text that you prefer to engrave on your AirPods. It can be done on the Apple website or an Apple store. You can select from a huge variety of emojis and texts for engraving your AirPods. The best part is, you can even make your unique combination with emojis and text. 

Q2. Is it worth engraving AirPods ?

Answer – Engraving , I believe is not only for personal use but is also beneficial practically. If you have your phone number or email id engraved on your AirPods, a kind stranger might return the Airpods to you if you lose them on the streets or in the park. Be careful not to add very personal information like your address, or any important password because then it may lead to a misuse but yes, i feel, it’s worth engraving the AirPods. 

Q3. Can I return engraved Airpods ?

Answer – Yes, the AirPods can be returned even after they have been engraved but they cannot be returned at the Apple Store. They can only be exchanged at the store. If you bought your AirPods anywhere in the U.S., you can take your engraved AirPods to any Apple Store in the U.S. and exchange them.

Q4. Can my AirPods be engraved after the purchase ?

Answer – For engraving your AirPods right after purchasing them, you will have to visit the Apple Website  and then, navigate to the music section.There, click on your Airpod Model and at the right side, you’ll see the option ‘buy’. When you click on ‘buy’, you will be taken to the section of engraving the AirPods. 

Q5. Should I engrave my AirPods Case ?

Answer – According to Apple, the engraved products can be set out for delivery within a couple of days but the users have reported that when an order is placed for engraving, the product usually gets delivered later than expected. So, if you want to receive your AirPods the day it is launched, I would recommend opting for the AirPods without the engraving done on them.

The Last Words : 

Your gifts are a reflection of your heart and what the other person means to you !! If you are going to give your loved ones a pair of AirPods they have been dreaming about, personalising them by engraving them will only double the joy. 

After all, if you are gifting a pair of AirPods to somones, the person already means so much to you ! It took me a year to buy one for myself..!

The best thing is that it will be done for free so why not !! Get’em engraved and it will be the most special gift ever !!

One last piece of advice. Please, don’t forget to check her name’s spelling twice or she might end up killing you for whose name you wanted to write !! I did mine carefully 🙂 

Have a great day !!
