You can identify your AirPods by their model number. It starts with “A” and distinguishes the generation and version. When ordering a replacement, check the earbuds and charging case separately: a case model number does not identify a left or right AirPod.
Identify your model: the key steps
- Read the model number in Settings or directly on the earbud.
- Compare it with the overview below.
- Identify the case separately if you need to replace a charging case.
- Then choose the generation, version and missing side.
1. Find the model number in Settings
On your connected iPhone or iPad, open Settings and select your AirPods. Alternatively, find them under Bluetooth and tap the information button beside their name. On older systems, the details may be under General and About.
2. Find the model number on the AirPods themselves
The marking is on the underside of the earbud. On AirPods Max, it is behind the left ear cushion. Do not confuse the model number with the individual serial number. Apple's model overview explains how to identify each model.

Identify the charging case separately
| Charging case | Model number |
|---|---|
| AirPods 1/2, Lightning | A1602 |
| AirPods 1/2, wireless | A1938 |
| AirPods 3, MagSafe | A2566 |
| AirPods 3, Lightning | A2897 |
| AirPods 4 | A3058 |
| AirPods 4 with ANC | A3059 |
| AirPods 5 | A3530 |
| AirPods 5, wireless | A5329 |
| AirPods Pro 1 | A2190 |
| AirPods Pro 2, Lightning | A2700 |
| AirPods Pro 2, USB-C | A2968 |
| AirPods Pro 3 | A3122 |
Also compare the connector, status light and shape with Apple's charging case images. Similar shapes do not prove that two parts are compatible. An A3122, for example, is a Pro 3 case, not an individual Pro 3 earbud.
