I purchased the AirPod pros and also had an allergic reaction to the silicone tips. I definitely would recommend that if anyone experiences itching they stop using this as it may be that there is an allergy to the tips. Follow up with a dr if unsure to avoid an ear infection.

Absolutely! These tips immediately made a difference. Remember your ears need some healing from the Apple tips to feel full relief.

the 3 pack costs $15.98 and you can pick 1 size instead of wasting money on sizes that you’ll never use. Medium works for everyone in my house. I have had the same set on for a couple months. The fit didn’t loosen and they are durable. I am an excessive AirPod user.

Bought the Airpod Pro 2nd Gen. but as soon as I put them in, my ears they started to itch and eventually ache. I was constantly taking them out and scratching. Then it started to feel like the ache was going deeper so I just took them out and stopped using them altogether. I was concerned I was going to get an infection (other people on here have complained about having to go to the doctor for medical attention). I need headphones for work so this was quite frustrating and because I bought them from "The Source" I couldn't return them. I figured I would give these tips a try and see if it fixed the problem before trying to resell the buds on FB Marketplace.

Luckily these replacement tips fixed the problem. I grabbed the S-M-L pack just incase and have been using these for a few weeks now with no issues.

(I do find this odd as I have other "silicone" products, such as my fitbit, that have never bothered me. There must be something weird in these airpod tips that is bothering people...Thanks a lot, Apple.)

I have contact dermatitis to methyl acrylate and ethyl acrylate and propolis. Acrylates are the problem for me. That’s what is used in the manufacturing of the ear tips of the AirPods. I get irritation that becomes a burning which produces a thin leathery scab inside my ear. There is a prescription called clobetesol that clears it up. I am looking for an alternate tip material. You may have the same allergy.
