Powerbeats Pro 2 - Very weak bass

Hi! I just purchased the Powerbeats Pro 2 and run the ear fit test multiple times, with all the different size tips, and it always fails. Also the earbuds sound very tinny, again regardless of the size tips I use. I've noticed there's very little bass compared to the AirPods Pro 2 earbuds I have (which have the best sound ever, but fall out of my ears during workouts, which is why I bought the Powerbeats). I must press the earbuds hard into my ears to get anything approximating the bass I get from the AirPods Pro 2 earbuds when they sit lightly in my ear (and, actually, to get the Powerbeats Pro 2 fit test to 'pass') . I feel like I must be wearing these wrong or something. Can someone guide me through how to get the sound I see I should be experiencing from every review I've read?

After doing some digging, I found out that this is a very common issue, and is due to how the earbuds fit (or don't fit) in the ear. Unfortunately for me, the over ear thingies actually pull the earbuds out of my ear once they are secure over the top of my ear. Since they aren't adjustable in any way, I'm afraid I'll be returning these to the Apple Store today. :(
