AirPods 4 fit questions

I have a lot of trouble getting a good fit with AirPods. I just tried pros again, and I just cannot use them - I get an almost instantaneous headache (from the pressure in my ear I think).

How are yall finding the fit of the regular 4s?

WAY BETTER than the PRO. I agree with the post above, "Almost feel like i'm not wearing anything"

The AirPods 4 are not as comfortable as the AirPods 2 which is the reason why I returned them and continue using my AirPods 2 which truly feel like nothing is in my ears and I wear mine all day (8 hours a day)
 
Everyone’s ears are different. The 4s with ANC fit my ears way better than the 3s I used before. The fit was greatly improved for me, but like I said, everyone’s ears are different. I can not wear the pro AirPods as I can not tolerate the in the ear canal thing.
 
OP, our ears are all anatomically different, so your best bet is buying them from a place with a good return policy and trying them out personally. Or pop into a shop selling them and try them on? Fitting a person X or not fitting a person Y will not apply to you.

Yeah I guess. I wish my Apple Store would allow you to try them. I can’t think of any store where I could try them first.

I’ve never tried 3s, but pros are awful for me. The 2s are okay.

Yep, when I heard that Apple was changing the 4s to make them fit better, I thought how can that be with everyone’s ears being different. I lucked out and the actually do fit better for me. It is just luck, unfortunately.
 
I love the fit of the 4s. I hate my AirPod Pro 2s and was so glad to dump them. I find the 4s the most comfortable of all except maybe the originals.
 
Wore the 4s ANC out today, took a bus. They fit really well, but the noise cancellation could be better.
I mainly use them for listening to ambient stuff at night, for which they are perfect.
 
I had AirPods 2 and now I have AirPods 3. AirPods 3 don't fit me as well as 2 and sometimes they even give me headaches, I wanted to switch to AirPods 4, do you know if the change in shape is interesting or minimal?

I wouldn't use them in noisy environments, so I would rule out ANC. Can you confirm that apart from the lack of noise cancellation on the 4 model, the audio quality is the same as the 4 ANC?

Apparently there is a bass profile difference, as noted in this video:
