Yes, you can replace a lost AirPod with someone else's, but there are steps to follow. First, the replacement AirPod needs to be the same model as your remaining AirPod for them to work together. To pair it, place both AirPods in your charging case and keep the lid open. Then, press and hold the setup button on the back of the case until the status light flashes amber and then white. This resets them and pairs them together as a new set, ready for use.
