Getting replacement ear tips for AirPods Pro just got whole lot easier. On Wednesday, these went up for sale on the Apple Store, and can be ordered like any other product.

That’s far easier than getting these used to be.

Order AirPods Pro replacement ear tips without hassle

Owners of AirPods Pro can go to the online Apple Store and pick up new ear tips. The U.S. price for two sets is $7.99.

These bits of silicone are a signature feature  of the AirPods Pro. The Cult of Mac review of these earbuds said “They help AirPods Pro stay in your ears, so you can work out without worrying about them falling out.”

They are sold in three different sizes: small, medium or large. Apple says proper fit is important to get “the best sound quality and superior noise cancellation.” There’s even an Ear Tip Fit Test to help users choose the right size.

So much simpler

Anyone wondering why it’s a big deal that Apple put AirPods Pro replacement ear tips on its online store probably hasn’t jumped through the hoops that used to be required to get these simple items.

It used to be necessary to request replacements through Apple’s support website. The process required a bunch of steps, and sometimes included entering the serial number for the AirPods.

But not any more.
