I like the Comply foam tips. You can buy the "assorted" pack in different sizes, and use whichever ones fit best. Both ears need not use the same size tips btw

I like the Comply foam tips. You can buy the "assorted" pack in different sizes, and use whichever ones fit best. Both ears need not use the same size tips btw, you can mix and match sizes as many people do. You can also use different tips in summer vs winter for better comfort due to thermal expansion. https://www.complyfoam.com/products/apple-airpods-pro-ear-tips https://www.complyfoam.com/products/apple-airpods-pro-ear-ti...

I will say I do use and love Comply tips, I had the same issue where the bundled silicone ones would fall out regardless of the size I used. But a caveat - the foam tips do start to crumble after a few months, and the AirPods case seems to munch on them a little bit. As long as you consider them a wear item and not something permanent, I think you’ll be satisfied.

I just bought some, thanks. Also happy to have black tips instead of the white ones that Apple is so stubborn about. After a year the white tips get this embarrassing nicotine yellow color that would be completely unavoidable had Apple offered any other tip color than white.

  Ah, they make it out of the same plastic as their cables?

    Let's hope not - IME the cables go sticky after a few years.

    They know what they're doing. Replace your tips / cables every year or look like the filthiest guy.

  Hmm, I just looked at mine and they aren't yellow at all. These are the first gen Airpod Pro. They must be 3+ years old.

    Yeah, neither are my girlfriend's. But I sweat heavily in them multiple times a daily doing exercise and even wear them to bed. And my ear wax might have special yellowing properties. Either way, nothing that goes in my orifice that could be seen by other people needs to be white. Don't get me started on the transparent plastic anti-snore nostril dilators. How is the buttplug industry more accommodating with its color offering than Apple?

  if you care about longetivity, beware that foam tips degrade relatively fast ( ~1 year).

Hmm, maybe ill try these. I bought some air pods, but could only use them if totally still, which defeated the point. Then i see everyone jogging with them and i can't even sucessfully walk to the kitchen for a snack.

  Were these the original AirPods Pro or the AirPods Pro 2? The original ones had an issue: https://support.apple.com/airpods-pro-service-program-sound-issues https://support.apple.com/airpods-pro-service-program-sound-...

I've tried these and, at least for me, they are worse than the silicon ones that came with the AirPods. A while ago I heard of someone getting (molded?) ones from their ENT. I might have to look into that.
