How to Identify Your AirPods Model

Find your AirPods model in seconds, via Bluetooth settings or the model number printed on the device itself.

Method 1: Check in Settings

The easiest way to identify your AirPods is directly from your iPhone or iPad.

Via Bluetooth Settings

  1. Make sure your AirPods are connected to your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Go to Settings → Bluetooth.
  3. Tap the ⓘ icon next to your AirPods name.
  4. Scroll down: the model number starts with the letter A (e.g. A2565).

Tip: Tap and hold the model number to copy it, then search in the table below.

Method 2: Check the device itself

If you cannot connect the AirPods, you can find the model number printed directly on the hardware.

AirPods / AirPods Pro

The model number is printed on the underside of each earbud, the part closest to your ear canal. It starts with the letter A.

AirPods Max

Remove the cushion from the left ear cup. The model number is printed on the inside of the ear cup, behind where the cushion sits.

Charging Case

Open the lid and look inside the case, near the hinge. The model number is printed there as well.
