Best fit tips

I've yet to get a stay in your ear fit with both 1st and second gen. Airpod pros. Primarily the left ear.That includes testing some 3rd party gel tips.

Any other suggestions are sure welcome.

airpod pro 2nd gen large ear tips too small upgraded from 1st gen to 2nd gen airpod pros. Large tips pass the Ear Tip Fit Test but the left one feels loose. Large tips in 1st gen fit just right - 2nd gen large feels smaller. Anyone else have this issue? Anything I can do? I don't see any XL ear tips... Thanks in advance!

AirPods Pro 2 won't stay in my ears Evidently the silicone ear tip is too slippery to stay in place. Apple’s accessibility advisor and o the comments seem to indicate about 10% of users cannot achieve a good seal/fit and the AirPod spontaneously drops out. I fear that it/they will drop into the sink,toilet, heating duct,on the floor or be lost in the grass. Mine will only stay in place for a few minutes. Apple doesn’t have a solution but finally indicated that there might be third party attempts to resolve the problem. Of course, Apple couldn’t/wouldn’t give any hints as to how find such products. I installed the hearing aid software and find the quality of sound assistance to be far superior to my $$$ hearing aids but unfortunately the won’t stay placed in my ears more than several minutes if I move around.

I've had a decades-long problem getting earbuds to stay in my ears. In-canal ones are about the only ones I can reliably get to not fall out. Ears are as different as fingerprints so, it's not surprising that the comparatively limited choice may not fit everyone.

My solution or workaround, if you prefer, is over the ear loops. I buy them on Amazon for about $5.
