AirPod Crisis

[Midsummernightsdreaming]

Have a teenage boy who has accidentally lost one of his AirPods down a drain. It's irretrievable unfortunately. How would you go about replacing just one AirPod please? They're about 2 years old and not under insurance. Can you just buy one? Where's the best place to get one from? Honestly don't know where to start with this.

You don’t know where to start? How about googling it or looking on thr apple page! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Replace a lost AirPod
Did you lose an AirPod or your Charging Case? You can buy a replacement for a left or right AirPod or the Charging Case. Your replacement will be new.

Ebay has various singles for sale, seem to be for both left and right options

I have also used Backmarket before and you can buy from them

Thanks all. I've bought from eBay before but they haven't worked. Was wondering whether anyone else has managed to successfully rectify a situation similar to this. Will try the actual Apple Store. Thank you.

For clarification, he's not my son - he's our Ukrainian sponsee, so I'm trying to keep costs as low as possible for them. Will have a look at all suggested options - really helpful. Thanks again.
