Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed to work with Air 1st Generation earbuds and to pair with the original A2190 charging case for a seamless replacement experience.

Who It's For

This replacement is best for owners of the Air 1st Generation who need a single right earbud to restore stereo listening without replacing the whole pair, or for users who have an original A2190 charging case and want parts that fit and pair like the original.
