Mine is the cheaper one

Just a little sharing for the benefit of all AirPod Pro users in case you run into the same situation...

So on Saturday morning, the left side of my AirPod Pro failed to be detected by all my devices. The right side was ok hence there was sound coming from it but totally nothing from the left. When I went to the settings, it just showed that ANC could not be activated because I didn't have both AirPods Pro in my ears. So I thought my AirPods Pro was busted, considering it was over 1.5 years already and I started fantasizing on what I could try next - maybe the Beats Studio Buds or Sony's XM3s while waiting for the next AirPods Pro. Decided to google my issue anyways and most articles say that it could be possible my ear tips are clogged. Now I do clean my ear tips every now and then so I didn't think this was the problem but nevertheless I removed them to have a look. Lo and behold, problem discovered: -



Anyways, I did buy a pair of third party ear tips previously but ended up not using them much since Apple's original ones still felt more comfortable, so I fished out the third party ones from storage and tried it. Yup, it works. Problem solved, but I still needed to get a pair of Apple original ear tips and decided to go back to our good friend google again. Found this: -

(I use medium size for my ears)

I went to a couple of Apple retailers on Saturday (Machines and Switch) and asked if they had them and they said no so I just ordered online. It shipped from Singapore (free shipping) and arrived in two working days via UPS



The packaging is top notch, as expected: -





Anyways, hope this helps some folks out there if you ever run into the same issues. Cheers!

P.S. - What do you guys think are the chances we might see new AirPods Pro come the event on the 19th?
