Left AirPods

Lost or broken left AirPod? Replace just the left earbud

A missing or faulty left AirPod doesn't mean you have to buy a complete new set. At Earbuds Restore you buy a single left AirPod that pairs directly with your existing right earbud and charging case — as long as the generation matches. Single left earbuds start from just €33.80.

How the condition-based price ladder works

Every earbud is tested and 100% functional. Five condition grades let you decide how much you spend:

• Like New — as good as new, with a 12-month warranty
• Excellent — minimal signs of use
• Good — light signs of use, fully functional
• Used — visible wear, works exactly as it should
• Budget — the most affordable choice

All refurbished grades (Excellent through Budget) come with a 6-month warranty.

Which generation do you need?

Choose the left earbud of the same generation as your current set: AirPods 1, AirPods 2, AirPods 3, AirPods 4, AirPods Pro 1, AirPods Pro 2 or AirPods Pro 3. Not sure? The model number is printed in small letters on your remaining earbud — our model number guide tells you within a minute which generation you have.

Frequently asked questions

Does a single left AirPod work with my existing right earbud and case?

Yes. AirPods work per earbud, so a replacement left AirPod from the same generation simply pairs with your right earbud and charging case. Place the new earbud in the case together with your own earbud, close the lid for a moment and re-pair the set via Bluetooth. The only thing that matters is that the generation exactly matches your current set.

How do I know which generation left AirPod I need?

Look at the model number printed in small letters on your remaining earbud, or on the inside of your charging case lid. That number starts with an A. Look it up in our model number guide on the blog and you'll instantly know whether you have AirPods 1, 2, 3, 4 or a Pro version.

What do the five condition grades mean?

Every single AirPod is tested and fully functional. The difference is cosmetic: Like New looks brand new, while Excellent, Good, Used and Budget step down in appearance and price. Like New comes with a 12-month warranty, the refurbished grades with 6 months. That way you only pay for what matters to you.

Can I return a single left AirPod?

You have a 14-day statutory cooling-off period from the day you receive your order. Please note: for hygiene reasons single earbuds are excluded once the seal is broken and the earbud has been worn — it can then no longer be returned, unless it is defective. If a defect occurs within the warranty period, we cover the return shipping costs.
