Will AirPods Pro 2nd gen pads go with AirPods 1st gen?

Recently my AirPods Pro pads (1st generation) broke, I have to use the the largest size for proper noise isolation but I haven’t had luck finding the original replacement because they are sold out on the online store as physical stores; the pads for the AirPods Pro 2nd generation are available do, but in the a Apple Store they specifically said that those are only compatible with the 2nd generation as the 1st generation specify that they are compatible only with the 1st. I’ve gone to several stores, I event went to Apple help desk and the support app and phone call and no one can give an straight answer if I can use with out problem the second generation pads with the AirPods Pro 1st generation.

In other sites of online selling specifically the one that stars with “Amaz…” they sell replicas and they specify that can be used on both generations indistinctly. I brought one of those and they work but the larger ones have the same size as the medium size of the original and all brands are the same, so my AirPods Pro dint pass the noise isolation test on iOS.

My question is if I can order the Pads from the second generation for my AirPods of first generation and be certain they will give me noise isolation as accurate as the proper ones for the right generation and pass the test fine?

Thanks!

Here’s the link to the Pads 2nd. Gen. On my location:

For as far as I know the eartips of the first and the second gen of AirPods Pro are not interchangeable

That render my AirPods Pro 1 a regular kind of earphones without noise isolation, I´t doesn't seen that Apple has plans to make a new supply now that AirPods Pro 2 are out there, the funny thing is that the reason this gear is so expensive it's basically the noise isolation feature, and that without a proper isolation from the ear tips lost their value for me, so, if I ever consider to buy a new pair of AirPods Pro 2 or a following model, I think I now prefer and other brand that supplies are more easy to buy, and that became obsolete less faster. Here in México, adding taxes and other expenses, make them very unaffordable and If I gonna spend so much money, better a Harman or Sony, or even I may consider a Bosé product, but never again AirPods. I have made an eartip of my own using an other pair of ear tips, so I'm gonna keep those and save a lot of money.

They not even sound so great. There are cheaper more affordable and with better sound than this products.
