Where can I get 1st gen AirPods Pro ear tips now that they're discontinued?

I’ve been using my airpod pro first gen’s for years, and I lost the replacement buds they gave and realized they discontinued them. Does anyone knows how can I get a new set without buying another airpods? They work perfectly, I just need new pair of earbuds. Some people say I can just but second gen buds but some say that will ruin the noise cancellation, which is the most important part for me.

I bought some official Apple ones for my 1st gen off eBay a year or so ago, so I'd check there...

AirPods Replacement, Repair, and Service - Apple Support

The replacement buds are $89 each side, which means $178 for both. Why do you still want to get the older ones? If noise cancellation is most important to you, the latest AirPods Pro 3 are $249 which isn't that much more, and will have much superior noise cancellation compared to the 1st generation. Or you could even get the AirPods 4 (not Pro) with noise cancellation for $179.
