Airpod Replacement Store · Model Number Checklist
Quick answer: If you lose one AirPod, you usually only need to replace the missing earbud. Before ordering, match the correct side, AirPods generation, model number, and charging-case family. AirPods that look nearly identical are not always compatible.
This guide covers the replacement models sold by AirPod Replacement Store for AirPods Pro 2 Lightning, AirPods Pro 2 USB-C, AirPods Pro 3, and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation.
Lost AirPod Replacement Model Number Chart
Find the model number printed on the underside of the AirPod you still have. Use that number to identify the matching replacement system.
| AirPods model | Left AirPod | Right AirPod | Charging case |
|---|---|---|---|
| AirPods Pro 2 Lightning | A2699 | A2698 | A2700 |
| AirPods Pro 2 USB-C | A3048 | A3047 | A2968 |
| AirPods Pro 3 | A3064 | A3063 | A3122 |
| AirPods 4 with ANC | A3056 | A3055 | A3059 |
Compatibility warning: Do not order based only on appearance. The replacement AirPod must belong to the same compatible model family as your remaining AirPod and charging case.

How to Find the Model Number on Your AirPod
- Remove the AirPod from its charging case.
- Turn the AirPod over and inspect the small printed text on the underside.
- Look for a model number beginning with the letter “A.”
- Use the chart above to identify the corresponding replacement family.
- Confirm whether the missing earbud is the left or right side before ordering.
If the printing is difficult to read, use bright lighting or your phone’s camera to magnify it. Our AirPods model-number identification guide provides additional identification help.
What If You Lost the Charging Case Instead?
You can replace the charging case without buying another pair of earbuds, but the case must support your exact AirPods model family. A Lightning or USB-C connector by itself is not enough to establish compatibility.
Compare A2700, A2968, A3122, and A3059 in our replacement charging-case compatibility guide.
What Happens After the Replacement Arrives?
A compatible replacement AirPod must be set up with your existing AirPod and charging case. Place the components in the case and follow the correct reset and pairing procedure for your model.
Use our step-by-step replacement AirPod pairing guide after your replacement arrives.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace only one lost AirPod?
Yes. You can replace an individual left or right AirPod without purchasing a complete set, provided that the replacement is compatible with your remaining earbud and charging case.
Are left and right AirPods interchangeable?
No. Left and right AirPods are different components with different model numbers. Confirm which side is missing before ordering.
Can AirPods from two different original sets work together?
They can work together when the left AirPod, right AirPod, and charging case belong to the same compatible model family. They do not need to come from the same original retail box.
Can I identify the correct replacement by appearance?
Do not rely only on appearance. Several AirPods generations and configurations look nearly identical. The model numbers provide a more reliable way to identify the correct replacement.
What should I do if I am still unsure?
Check the model number on your remaining AirPod and charging case before ordering. You can also review our complete guide to replacing a single AirPod.
