AirPods 1st Gen in 2nd Gen USB-C case

[Draeconis]

Hey all, recently lost my Gen 1 AirPods Pro case, but still have the AirPods.

Bought the Gen 2 AirPods Pro with USB-C, and wondered if I could get another Gen 2 USB-C case to get the old Gen 1 AirPods working.

The Gen 1 AirPods certainly fit and charge in the Gen 2 case, but the case makes a distinctly unhappy ‘beep boop’ sound when they’re inserted, or when the case is opened with them inside.

Attempting the normal reset routing ends with a low quick 3 beeps. The the impression I could continue using them, but the charger may damage them, and unclear if/how I could pair this to anything new in the future without an old Gen 1 case 😞
