Original Replacement Earbuds and Charging Cases for AirPods

How to Choose the Correct Replacement Earbud or Case for AirPods

When choosing a product, its appearance alone is not enough. Different AirPods generations vary in their model numbers, features, construction and charging case compatibility.

1. Check the AirPods Model and Generation
First, determine whether you have AirPods 2nd, 3rd or 4th generation, or AirPods Pro 1st or 2nd generation. For certain models, you may also need to distinguish between versions according to their release year or charging connector.

You can find the model number of connected AirPods on your iPhone or iPad:

Settings > Bluetooth > your AirPods > Information

You can also check the marking directly on the earbud. The charging case serial number is located on the inside of its lid.

2. Choose the Left or Right Earbud
Individual earbuds are designed for a specific side:

• the left earbud is marked with the letter L,
• the right earbud is marked with the letter R.

Before ordering, check both the side and the exact generation. A left or right earbud from another generation may not work with your original earbud and charging case.

3. Check the Charging Case Type
Charging cases may differ in their charging method and supported features. Available versions may include:

• Lightning,
• MagSafe,
• USB-C,
• wireless charging,
• a case for a model with ANC active noise cancellation.

The same appearance does not necessarily mean the same compatibility. For example, a case for AirPods 4 with ANC is not designed for the standard AirPods 4 version without ANC. Always follow the compatible models listed in the product name and description.

4. Choose the Cosmetic Condition
All refurbished earbuds and charging cases are fully functional, tested, cleaned and disinfected using a specialised cleaning product and UV light. The individual conditions differ mainly in appearance and the level of wear.

Specific signs of use may vary between individual units.

5. Compare Product Compatibility
Before adding the product to your basket, check:

• the AirPods model and generation,
• the left or right side of the earbud,
• the AirPods or AirPods Pro version,
• the charging connector type,
• MagSafe or ANC support,
• the compatible models listed in the individual product description.

If you are unsure about compatibility, contact us and we will help you verify the correct product.

Why Buy Only the Missing AirPods Part?
Buying an individual earbud or charging case is a practical solution when the rest of the set is still functional. Instead of replacing the entire AirPods set, you only replace the lost or damaged part.

Reusing an original earbud or charging case also extends the lifespan of the original set and helps reduce unnecessary electronic waste.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
Can I Buy Just One AirPod?
Yes. If you have lost or damaged one earbud, you can replace it with an individual left or right earbud. However, it must match the model and generation of the remaining parts of the set.

Can I Combine Earbuds from Different Generations?
No. The earbuds and charging case must be designed for a mutually compatible model and generation. A similar shape or the same connector type does not confirm compatibility.

What Is the Difference Between A++, A and B Conditions?
The main difference is their appearance. A++ condition shows no signs of use, A condition may have fine hairline scratches and B condition may have more visible signs of wear. All products are functionally tested regardless of their cosmetic condition.

Are the Replacement Earbuds and Cases Original?
Yes, the products in this category are original Apple parts. Most products are used or open-box items classified according to their cosmetic condition.

How Do I Pair a Replacement Earbud with My Original Set?
Place the earbud into a compatible charging case and follow the instructions for connecting AirPods to your device. The exact procedure may vary depending on the model, so we recommend using Apple’s instructions for the specific generation.

Do Used AirPods Come with a Warranty?
Refurbished earbuds and charging cases come with a one-year warranty.
