I posted about buying Airpod Pros earlier in the year.
One thing I absolutely hate about them (and all AirPods) is the fact that they won't stay in my ear. I shouldn't have to spend this amount of money for ear buds that won't stay put.
Now, I'll say right now that my ear canals are hairy. I'm not a hairy guy by any means. It took me YEARS to grow a fully fleshed-out mustache and I can't grow a full beard (I have no problem growning a goatee). My legs aren't extremely hairy, nor are my arms or chest (or armpits). My ear has a good amount of hair growing from the ear canals, though.
At first, I tried clipping my ear hairs, and it works, but it's a bit tedious and I don't like the barbed feeling of the ends poking into me when I insert the Airpods.
I was close to selling them and getting a pair of Beats instead, as I heard they're much better at staying in place.
I was reading the MacRumors forums this week and saw that someone mentioned that they used a product called Comply premium earphone tips. I ordered a set two days ago.
They arrived today and while sitting on my patio drinking a beer, I tried them.
OMFG. They work. They work very well.
I'm using the medium set (these came in a set of three, sized small, medium, and large).
I also bought a magnetic ear buds tether, as well, but I think I was overly redundant. Honestly, I wouldn't have known these would work, because I've tried at least 5 other sets of ear bud tips - only the sixth set worked.
It's time to wear out these AirPods!
Note: I also bought a Spigen Ultra Hybrid Mag (MagFit) clear case. I want to get a MagSafe battery, but at $99, maybe I'll put it on my Christmas list.
