Buy a Left AirPod

A left AirPod from Swappod is a genuine Apple part, checked before shipping. It is for you if you lost your left earbud or if it no longer works properly. You can choose from AirPods 2, AirPods 3, AirPods Pro 1 and AirPods Pro 2. You simply keep your right AirPod and your charging case.

Lost your left AirPod or is it no longer working as it should? No worries, at Swappod you don’t need to purchase a completely new set. With us, you can easily and affordably buy a single left AirPod that pairs perfectly with your existing one. This way, you save money while also making a more sustainable choice.

AirPods left side not working while the right one plays fine? First clean the contacts of the earbud and the case with a dry cotton bud. Then reset your AirPods. You will find more tips in our article on the 7 most common reasons an AirPod stops working. Still no sound after that? Then a new left earbud is the quickest fix.

We offer a complete range of individual AirPods, including:

• AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C and Lightning version)
• AirPods Pro 1
• AirPods 3
• AirPods 2

This ensures you always find exactly the model that matches your current set, without unnecessary costs or waste.

Looking for a left AirPod for sale that matches your set? Keep in mind that generations do not mix. A left AirPods 2 earbud only works with a right earbud and a case from AirPods 2. For AirPods Pro, you choose between Pro 1 and Pro 2, and for Pro 2 between Lightning and USB-C. Not sure? Our generation check helps you find the matching model.

Not just a lost AirPod on your hands? If your right earbud is missing too or your case is broken, have a look at our single right AirPods or our AirPods charging cases.

Frequently asked questions about the left AirPod

Can I buy left AirPod only and keep my own case?

Yes. If your right AirPod and your charging case still work, you only replace the left earbud. Just pick the same generation as your right one. That way you only pay for the part you are missing, and nothing that still works ends up in a drawer. No stress, we've got you.

Can I use my new left AirPod on its own?

Yes, each AirPod also works on its own, for example for calls. First pair the new left earbud together with your right earbud in the case. After that, you can use either side alone while the other one charges in the case. Every order includes pairing instructions with all the steps.

How do I pair a new left AirPod with my old case?

This works when the earbud and the case are from the same generation. For AirPods Pro 2, the version must match too: Lightning or USB-C. Put both earbuds in the case, keep the lid open and press and hold the button on the back until the light flashes white. Then reconnect them to your iPhone.

Can I use a left AirPod from a different generation than my right one?

No, sadly not. A left AirPod from the 3rd generation will not connect to a right AirPod from the 2nd generation, for example. So always choose the same generation as the earbud you still have. In doubt? Our customer service is happy to help by phone on working days, from 10:00 to 17:00.

What warranty do I get on a single left AirPod?

Your earbud comes with a 6-month warranty. Not happy with it? You have 14 days to return it, and our money-back guarantee applies. You can read how it works on our Returns and exchanges page. So you can order without worries, even if you were unsure about the generation.

Why does my left AirPod arrive in plain packaging?

You order a single part, so we ship it in simple bulk packaging, not in an Apple box. The earbud itself is a genuine Apple part that we check before shipping. Every order also includes clear instructions to pair it with your right earbud, so you can get going straight away.
