How to Identify Any AirPods Model"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Most AirPods generations look nearly identical, so sellers often mislabel them, and the earbuds and case in one set can even come from different generations. The fastest way to answer “what AirPods do I have” is Settings on a paired iPhone, and Apple also prints a model number on every earbud. This guide covers both methods, a model-by-model table from the original AirPods (1st generation)<\/a> to AirPods 5<\/a>, AirPods Pro 3<\/a> and AirPods Max 2<\/a>, and the look-alike pairs that trip people up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Answer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Connect your AirPods to an iPhone or iPad, open Settings<\/strong> and tap the name of your AirPods near the top of the screen (or go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap the More Info button next to them). The About section shows the model name, model number, serial number and firmware version. No iPhone handy? Read the model number printed on the underside of either earbud, or behind the left ear cushion on AirPods Max, and match it to the table below. Then check what that exact model sells for before you list or buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
