About this pair
These Apple AirPods Max replacement ear cup covers bring a dark blue wrap back to worn cushion shrouds when the original covers fade, scuff, or need a quieter navy look on the desk. The listing is for ear-cup / cushion covers—not silicone housing shells and not full magnetic ear cushions—so keep the type clear when you compare siblings. SKU 173827 ships as a matching pair of navy cup covers for Apple AirPods Max, aimed at owners who want a cosmetic shroud refresh without replacing the entire cushion stack.
Color is the main signal here: dark blue versus light blue on sibling 173826, and distinct from blue silicone housing cover 173816. Shoppers looking for blue covers for Apple AirPods Max headphones, a low-key blue wrap, or a desk-to-commute shroud get a cosmetic spare that seats around the cushion rim. The FAQ notes this SKU does not name silicone; treat the surface as unspecified beyond the dark blue shade in the name. That keeps the card honest: you are buying a dark-blue cushion cover pair, not a housing skin and not a protein-leather pad set.
Install tips stay simple. Seat each cover evenly around the cushion rim and do not stretch until the edge tears. Aftermarket dark-blue lids are a cosmetic choice: navy covers can sit on silver AirPods Max cups because color is not a factory-finish lock. Pair language in the long-tails points to office and home use when you want a deeper blue cup shroud without buying Apple’s full cushion kit. A careful seat around the rim keeps dust off the cup edge and refreshes the look for video calls and travel days alike.
How to replace ear cup covers on Apple AirPods Max is a DIY rim seat, not a driver repair. Keep dust off the cup rim with a clean wrap and refresh the look when the OEM cover shows wear. Commercial searches for dark blue ear-cup covers AirPods Max 173827, navy cup covers, or a dark-blue pad cover spare kit map to this matching SKU rather than a housing skin. If you already own light-blue 173826 covers, treat 173827 as the deeper blue alternate in the same cover family.
Choose 173827 when you specifically need the darker blue cushion cover. Leave 173816 for silicone housing protection and 173826 when you want the lighter blue sibling. The headphones themselves are not included—only the pair of navy covers named for Apple AirPods Max cups. That clarity matters on a catalog that also sells pads and shells: this card stays about ear cup covers, color, and a matching spare kit for the Max.
For Apple AirPods Max owners, a darker blue cup-rim dust cover is a low-commitment cosmetic spare: deeper blue versus 173826, and a different part type than silicone housing cover 173816. Aftermarket dark-blue lid language in the LSI set points at the cushion shroud, not a full magnetic cushion swap. Keep the install gentle, seat both sides of the pair, and you get a low-key blue wrap ready for desk-to-commute days without touching the drivers.
SKU 173827 cover language stays on the cushion shroud for AirPods Max, so you are not buying a case, a headband wrap, or a full Apple cushion assembly with this pair.
