Airpods Pro keep falling out of my ears!

I just got Airpods Pro and they will not stay in my ears for more than a minute or so. I feel them start creeping and I know I have only a second or two before they seem to jump out of my ear as if they were being repelled or something. I have tried every size tip and they all do the same thing. I never had any problems with my old Airpods so this is strange to me. If I don't find a fix I'm going to have to return them as they are basically unusable. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?

This is an excellent idea. Here’s what I just posted:

”250 dollars. That’s what I payed for these. You’re telling me that 250 dollars doesn’t get me earbuds that stay in my ears? That’s outrageous. If I move my mouth at all they get pushed out of my ears. Even if I don’t they make their way out anyway. This is what sets Apple apart from other brands. This doesn’t happen with Apple products. How did this slip through the testing?

My suggestion is that you redesign the tips with a different shape or as foam so they stay in your ears. Then offer that for free to everyone who bought airpods pro, and have it included with the standard version.

People expect a level of quality assurance from Apple and this is ruining that. Before this I could buy any Apple product and be sure it would work as expected. Not anymore.

FIX THIS”

I had the same issue, when I try to tie my shoelaces, one of them falls on the road. I am using wired now.

If you can still return yours, you are one of the lucky ones!

This is the most ridiculous idea, but it happens to be the most successful solution.

Thanks GQBrooks!

Are you really an Apple expert? Push them in your ears and you have 14 days to return them? That's It?!!!

I’ve ordered the replacement tips (comes with two sets) from Apple several times. New tips are always great and they stay in better.

Same here: this is the only way for me to pass the adjustment test (and get decent ANC…). But it is a bit uncomfortable: slightly better when swapping L and R…
