Which one
The openings are different sizes. The Pillow With A Hole Ltd.'s The Original P.W.A.H® (V1) gives 11 x 9.5 cm (4.5 x 3.5 inches), positioned 12 cm (5 inches) from the edge; The Original P.W.A.H® V2 gives 11 x 9cm (square). A larger opening clears a bigger object and a wider range of ear positions; a smaller one keeps more surface under your head. Measure what actually goes in your ear before choosing between them.
Only one says where the hole sits. The Original P.W.A.H® (V1) publishes its opening position as well as its size; The Original P.W.A.H® V2 publishes size alone. For a pillow whose whole job is putting a gap under one ear, position decides whether you find it in the dark.
They start from different heights. The Pillow With A Hole Ltd. is 3" as supplied against The Pillow With A Hole Ltd. at 3.5". Both adjust, but adjusting adds fill rather than inventing structure — so the lower one is the bigger climb if your measurement sits high.
