In an updated support document, Apple said the original AirPods Pro ear tips have a “noticeably denser mesh” than the second-generation ear tips. Apple didn’t provide additional details, but the mesh density could lead to acoustic differences. “The ear tips are designed specifically for the AirPods Pro generation to deliver the highest fidelity audio experience,” the support document states. “As a result, use the eartips that came with AirPods Pro. The AirPods Pro (1st generation) eartips have a noticeably denser mesh than the AirPods Pro (2nd generation) eartips.” Despite the mesh differences, the second-generation earbuds match the original AirPods Pro, so they’re still physically compatible.

Both generations of earbuds are available on Apple’s online store in sets of two for $7.99 in the United States. The new AirPods Pro will start arriving to customers and will hit stores the next day. The first reviews of the new AirPods Pro were shared earlier today, providing a closer look at improvements in sound quality, active noise cancellation, battery life, and more. The second-generation AirPods Pro remain priced at $249.
