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?

I was having the same problem and started searching for solutions because I’m outside of my window to return my AirPods Pro. I found a suggestion to wear them upside down, at about the 2:00 position. I tried it and it immediately worked. I did a seal test and it had a seal. Didn’t fall out. I made a call on the phone and on FaceTime and was heard perfectly. It does look silly, but they didn’t fall out. Here’s a photo for reference.

Hi .

my left AirPod keeps failing out . Turns out I have a retracted ear drum ( concave eardrum) which is contributing to my pulsatile Tinnitus.

who knew that was even a thing!!

Same thing happened to me. I tried pushing it in further and it worked for a while.

It’s a bad ear tip design. Don’t count on Apple doing anything about it, as they sell as many as they can make, so they really don’t care.

Try to rotate them in the ear. Not completely around just so they feel snug. Also try changing ear tips.

I’ve done all these things and more. I just think they need to add some stabilizing rings or something to secure the fit better. Perhaps something like the Bose QC Ultra uses.
