Why AirPods Pro 2 ear tips not compatible
Apple mentioned that the silicone ear tips that come with the new Apple AirPods Pro 2 are not officially compatible with the original AirPods Pro.
The support document explains that the ear tips included with the first-generation AirPods Pro have “significantly denser mesh” than the ear tips that come with the new model. Other than why different mesh densities can cause audio differences, Apple didn’t offer any other explanation.
The company notes that the silicone ear tips are “specially designed” for the different generations of AirPods Pro. The special design helps the wearable “deliver the ultimate high-fidelity audio experience.” Apple suggests that users stick to the ear tips that were shipped with their respective AirPods Pro.
However, it’s important to note that the ear tips that come with the AirPods Pro 2 will match the original model.
