My AirPods keep falling out, even after swapping the tips

None of the tips keep the air pod pros 3 in my ears even after doing the test which tells me to use the smallest tip. They fall out all the time and risk damage. Has anyone experienced this before?


Can someone help?

Apple Community users share their tips: See: Airpods Pro keep falling out of my ears! - Apple Community

Seems there are lots of tips ... yet no-one knows what may work for you unless you test the tips.

Eg: one person in the above thread wears their AirPods successfully "upside-down" !


Some people may have oily skin, and happily find more success after cleaning both the ears and the Airpods.

There are also lots of YouTube videos that claim to help, though haven't watched or tested their methods

I am very disappointed in the Air Pod Pros. Even after purchasing a third party tip to try and keep these buds in my ears, they continue to fall out. If I would have had any clue it would have been this frustrating, I would have definitely chosen a different brand. I absolutely love the Apple ecosystem and all that it has to offer. But Apple needs to step it up if they want to keep up with active people. This is inexcusable.
