You don’t need to replace your AirPods Max to get a splash of the new colors

Mix and match.

If you’re envious of the new AirPods Max colors but don’t think a switch from Apple’s proprietary Lightning port to USB-C is enough reason to upgrade, you can now buy replacement ear cushions in the new colorways that are still compatible with the original version of the headphones, as MacRumors discovered. The ear cushions are now listed in Apple’s online store at $69 for a set in blue, orange, purple, midnight, or starlight, with shipping expected the next day. Apple is still selling replacement ear cushions matching the colors of the original Lightning version of the AirPods Max, including green, silver, black, sky blue, and red.
