iMore - The #1 iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch blog - Friday, March 29, 2019 at 5:00 AM Can you pair one new AirPod with another? Best answer: If you lose a single AirPod, you can purchase a new one from Apple. From there, you can pair the new AirPod unit to your existing one. However, the replacement must match the generation of your current AirPod. Yes, you can If you can't find one of your AirPods, Apple does allow you to order a replacement for $69. You can often find replacement AirPods being sold on eBay for less. The company will also sell you a replacement charging case for $59. Apple also sells the 2019 wireless charging case for $79 that works with both AirPods versions. Apple AirPods vs. Apple AirPods 2 Because the original AirPods and second-generation AirPods use different chips, you can't match one with the other. In other words, a W1-powered AirPod won't work with an H1-powered AirPod 2. When ordering your replacement AirPod through the Apple website, you'll be asked for the serial number which is located on the original Charging Case that came with your AirPods. With this information, Apple will send you a compatible AirPod unit as a replacement. Did you really lose it? Before spending a dime on a new AirPod, try to locate it using the Find My iPhone app for iOS. With the app, you might be able to find the missing earbud as long as you're within Bluetooth range. If that doesn't work, you can think back to the last place you had the AirPods and maybe you can find the missing one there. At the minimum, by backtracking you might be able to get close enough to the missing AirPod to activate the Find My iPhone feature. Pairing Once you receive your new AirPod, you can pair it with the other by following the regular directions for pairing AirPods to your iPhone. Once completed, you're good to go. To do this, you must first place both AirPods in the rechargeable case. From there, with the case open, check the status light. It should flash amber. Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for five seconds. The status light should flash white. If it still flashes amber, connect the case to power, close the lid, and wait 10 minutes. Next, on your iPhone, go to the Home screen. Open the case and hold it next to your phone. You'll see setup animation appear on your iPhone. Tap Connect, then Done. Both AirPods are now paired with your iPhone.
