AirPods Max headband is loose and mesh tension feels

Hey, I’ve noticed the headband on my AirPods Max has gotten pretty loose even though I’ve only been wearing them normally and keep them in a case. The mesh and tension on the top don’t feel right anymore. I’m just wondering if this is something that could be checked or replaced under warranty, or if there would be any cost for the repair. Thanks!
