How to prevent AirPods from falling out of ears

I've never been able to get the included silicone tips to work. I have used over-the-ear loops that slip onto the AirPods. They work well but are annoying because you have to take them off to put the AirPods back in the case, put them back on when you want to use them.

The solution that has worked for me is third-party foam eartips.

These are frequently recommended:

Foam Ear Tips (Amazon)

Experiment with the other silicone tips to find a better fit. (that’s why 4x sizes are provided)

If they simply don’t work for you, return to Apple for a refund.

When I first got AirPods it was the first time in years I had in-ear headphones, it took weeks getting used to, they kept falling out, I tried different eartips every day to see what would fit the best and after a while my ears stopped hurting and they stopped falling out. Its mainly about your ear getting used to the airpod, and also, you need to remember that you dont have to have the same ear tip size in both ears. For example, I have XS on the left and S on the right. You just have to find what works for you.
