As Apple (AAPL) finally began selling the wireless AirPods earphones after a rare, prolonged delay, one burning question remained unanswered. Would the tech giant offer any sort of replacement to some unfortunate listener who dropped only a single AirPod, despite CEO Tim Cook’s reassurance that they stay in place reasonably well?

The short answer is yes—but at a notable cost, according to the website MacRumors.

The much-anticipated wireless earbuds were first announced at the Apple Event in September alongside the iPhone 7, which doesn’t have a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The AirPods, built with a new Apple wireless chip, is seen as Apple’s foray into the smart earphone market, as well as a workaround on the audio front for the new phone—albeit not an inexpensive one, at $159 a pair.
