Why won’t my new AirPods Pro 2nd gen tips fit properly?

Apple has some confusingly-similar names here, and multiple product generations.

EarPods (from the original posting title, and the posting text) are wired earphones, and don’t have replaceable tips.

AirPods are wireless earphones, but don’t have replaceable tips.

AirPods Pro are also wireless earphones, and do have replaceable tips.

AirPods Pro have a couple of generations, and the tips are not interchangeable. (Pick your size, too.)

1st: AirPods Pro (1st generation) Ear Tips - 2 sets (Medium) - Apple

2nd: AirPods Pro (2nd generation) Ear Tips - 2 sets (Small) - Apple

If you have AirPods Pro, here are how the tips work: Choose your AirPods Pro ear tips and use the Ear Tip Fit Test - Apple Support

No UK.. I’ve bought some from another source, meant to fit 1st generation but don’t. Any thoughts?

I’m not familiar with UK suppliers.

I’ve purchased replacement tips for Beats Fit Pro, but the AirPods and AirPods Pro didn’t work for me. Too prone to falling out. Didn’t use the Apple earphones long enough to need replacement tips, either.

You’ll need to check with the suppliers about the sizing and compatibility.

A2084 is AirPods Pro 1st gen.

Link is above for the medium tips, though you will need to select small, medium, or large tips for AirPods Pro 1st gen.

Thanks, Apple seems sold out.

If you’re located in the US, that wouldn’t be surprising as the US product supply chains are presently unstable at best.
