Airpods Pro keep falling out of my ears!

Great! that post prevented me to purchase this product because I was wondering if I would have problems with them in the gym. I guess 4000 people with the same problem is more than enough to not consider them.

Same. Airpods were fine at staying in, but my pros slip out within 10 minutes of my workout. I am thoroughly unimpressed and mad Apple would allow this to be produced. Especially when they advertise them FOR SPORTS, and I can't have a workout without my airpod literally FALLING ON THE GYM FLOOR!!!!!! There's no way apple didn't know about this during their testing process and it's ridiculous they're charging 250-270 for a pair of earbuds that DON'T STAY IN, and their only solution is to post someones condescending comment about "did you do the fit test"? Yeah, we've tried it all, the product just SUCKS.

AirPods keep falling out of my ears. I agree with others here, for the price, they should stay secure without having to buy hooked and other for that purpose.

What I’ve resorted to is wearing a headband or buff to cover the pods to keep them in. That works ok, but even then they work themselves into positions preventing one or the other from producing audio.

Perhaps for security , y’all would consider supplying with each purchase a buff with the apple logo. Or an Apple gremlin whose job it would be to sit in the corner of the ear and hold them n by main strength. Hmm?

interesting...does he attach a kind of snap-on or possibly zipper-type mechanism to the ear? I think it’d be more reliable and less liable to slippage if the AirPods could be directly embedded in the skull. A zipper or snap could come undone for those of us with big flapping ears and it would be heartbreaking if, even after paying for your brother’s costly experimental surgical procedure, in bending towards the flushing lever, our ears flopped and the AirPods disengaged from the locking mechanism, plummeting into the toilet bowl.

Yes, I think it is a design problem. There’s too much weight in the bulbous section. The originals distributed some weight to the long tails that laid along side the face, which supported the burden. Without that “tail”, all the weight is right outside the ear hole and it just takes a tiny bit of deforming the canal (chewing motion, talking, yawning) to allow the ear pad to slip. Once the slippage starts, if you are moving, the AirPod simply falls out. If you are still, you can feel it’s no longer secure and push it back in. That’s annoying but ok if you’re just working at a desk, but if you are moving at all they just dont stay in.

The fact that my $250 AirPod Pros keep slipping out of my ears makes the device irredeemable. The ear wax in some ears makes the ear canal more slippery than others’ ears. This is not something that customers should have to figure out and resolve with crappy aftermarket tips.

The original AirPods are a better product.

I am having this problem too! I’m very frustrated. I purchased the Pros because it had the 3 different sizes. They all fall out. I purchased an accessory set off Amazon that has a band that connects to the earpieces so when it falls out of my ear it wont get lost. Very disappointed.

I bought mine March 2nd. I have contacted support several times. They just allowed me to return them today. They are too expensive to be falling out. Hopefully the next release will be more like the beats version the woman at the Apple store was wearing. They have a hook that goes over the ear and She said they never fall out. These would definitely be an option if they were noise canceling but they are not.

I can add to this thread. I've had mine for quite a long time, and ever since day one they have had a weird fitment. I tried all three sizes of included ear buds and according to the app, the standard Medium size is the only one that seals correctly and they never stay in.

I have tried the aftermarket eBay memory foam ear pads but those are just much worse, so don't waste your money.

My best bet is to insert them like ear plugs: use my opposite hand to reach over my head and pull up from the top of my ear, and use the other hand to insert the Airpod deep into the canal (before it starts to hurt!), then release my ear while holding the Airpod in.

I know what I’m about to write is petty. I often - while watching cable TV’s news pundits who wear AirPod Pros - hope, pray, and wish with great anticipation that one of those buds drop from their ear: just one. . . . on national television during a very important news story. . . just one! I would feel vindicated and maybe, just maybe someone from Apple will act on our complaints.

Yes, tried that too. It's quite irritating after spending so much time, change to all sizes, extra clean/ dry your ears/pods etc. The best you'll achieve is it staying in for a longer time compared to other times BUT they will fall out. If you eat, if you laugh, I'm sure even if you talk it will fall out

Please try introducing sizes with rough texture that may stick in. I miss my old ones (can't remember faaling out even once) that I gave away, the only thing good about this would be the sound quality. Please let me know if there's a solution yet. Thank you

With the pandemic, and all the zoom singalong videos, we too need to record a song:

Those AirPods’ fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

oh Apple please...

whose in? We can have the “recorded on iPhone”, at the end.

A refund. They are not allowing most people to return after two weeks. We have tried various approaches to use the AirPods and they still fall out. Many people purchase after market items and they still don't stay in. In the meantime, the two weeks have passed.

I called the 800 number and got a refund!!! I said, "I know the refund policy is within 14 days, but they keep falling out. I tried all the advice I saw on the internet. I bought the after market memory foam. Hundreds of people are having this problem."

She processed the refund with no argument.

Good advice, if they didn’t fit just returned them smh. Clearly it’s a problem looks like you have over 5000 users complaining about the fitment of the air pods. But maybe that’s a very small fraction for Apple to care about since they sold millions of AirPods. Then you have this dumb person from Apple responding to all the people in this forum to simple just returned.
