If you're experiencing allergic reactions to the original ear tips, there are a few potential solutions you can consider:


  1. Reach out to Beats or Apple customer support to inquire about the materials used in the ear tips. They may be able to provide more information or offer alternative options.
  2. If you're experiencing severe or persistent allergic reactions, it's best to consult with a medical professional, such as an allergist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. They can help determine the specific cause of your reaction and recommend appropriate solutions.


Remember, it's important to prioritize your health and well-being, so seeking professional advice is always a good idea when dealing with allergic reactions or any other medical concerns.

Thank you for your help, I have read up on Apples web online that they’ve had other users with this same issue, but in conclusion, their response is to “stop using them or resell them”, … so those who do have an issue with these same ear tips, are out of luck with Apple. The consumer/ user will need to get “aftermarket” ear tips (they even post that on their site!!! …they even suggest that ears should be cleaned out regularly and try using them again. How insulting is that!!! But yes, I plan on doing buying new ear tips asap. Again, thanks for your suggestions ..•**•..•**•..•**•
