Look at third-party tips. There's no set of 3 tips that can work for everyone, but with third-party tips you're much more likely to find some that work.
- selykg 2y agoYup, my friend has some of these that were custom made based on his ears. They seem to be much much better for him as a result. I don't believe they were inexpensive though, at least what he had made.
- BobaFloutist 2y agoThey're still probably pretty price competitive with hearing aids.
- selykg 2y agoAs I recall it was a couple hundred bucks for the ear pieces plus the cost of the AirPods. So, yea, probably around the same price as MSRP AirPods Max.
- numpad0 2y agoIt's not just the tips, but the stem and overall shape can be problematic too. EarPods and AirPods hang off the ears by protrusions on ears called tragus and antitragus, and the triangular cavity behind it, but that part can be just wide open hemisphere for some people. Maybe ethnicity has a role in it. If those are, the earphones become cantilevered on ear canals with most of its mass unsupported and just follows Newtonian physics. And tbh, I have this problem. Most circular shaped earphones are complete non-issue for me, many TWS models included, but not Apple earphones. Supposedly they offer SoTA performances in many domains, so it's kind of sad that I don't get to buy them myself or recommend to anyone unless they change it back to more commonly used shapes.
