AirPods Pro Launching on October 30 for $249

Anyone else also has fit problems.?

i know tried all three different types but can not get a proper seal.
when I use the biggest ones, the left one sometimes can get a seal which is confirmed by the test,
but the right one never. They also very easy can be removed, even I pushed them in most.

whats funny is that when I reverse use them (R and L) the seal is almost ok, at least better
but I don’t think this is intended. Also the test won’t work in this mode because of different alignment of mics. I am very experienced with in ear monitors and quite frustrated now with the fitting of these.

any tips or recommendations ?

my ears are somehow large, there is a gap also no matter how I twist them.

I have never had a problem with my AirPods as well and I use them every day at the gym. They have some resistance for sure (even though they are not certified), as Apple would expect people to exercise with them.

Yup. Similar to the AW 1 I took in the shower and whatever iphone I had I used to take into the ocean(not underwater).

There is no doubt that people will exercise with the airpods pro. I’ve already seen many people exercising with the original airpods.

Personally, I love my AirPods Pro. I don’t think they’re overpriced.

So if we don't agree with what you said above, your conclusion is below?

100% this. This thread has taken Macrumors to a new low with some of the comments in it. We know it can be a cesspool but Christ on a bike, it’s gone lower than a worms belly now.

C'mon guys. Just because you love the APP (good!) doesn't mean complaints about drawbacks or pricing are unwarranted and certainly not the hyperbolic "cesspool" or "new low" or "lower than a worms belly".


People who share very different opinions are just as in the right as you are for being on the opposite side.

Never once said that counter-comments and arguments aren’t valid or welcome. They most certainly are. What isn’t appreciated is the pathetic child-like behaviour of a few who seems to believe they are especially entitled...you know, those idiots who come out with fanboy this and fanboy that, amongst others, including the odd few comments above about those who have them showing off etc etc. It’s boring, sad and pathetic.

Agreed - Thx for reply.

I also get tapped out on people on either side of something being upset about the tone or type of arguments on the other extreme. It's just the nature of people disagreeing about things. Nobody is "right" nor should any type of feedback or praise/criticism be silenced as long as it's fair.

Glad I never saw that place. Certain parts of this forum seem to be heading that way sadly.

Don’t worry. That’s why this site has moderators that check for inappropriate posts, and when they see one they delete it (or at least they delete the inappropriate portion of the post) and inform the author of the post about it.

That being said, as a non-native english speaker I didn’t know the f....y word I used was considered to be an insult. The moderators have already brought that to my attention and deleted that part of my post.

Ahh yes i forgot they don’t have a black color only space gray :p

They do have space black. That’s what they call the black stainless steel case of the apple watch as well as the black stainless steel frame of the iphone X and Xs.

I have fairly large tunnels as well. Using the large tips, my left ear has a perfect seal but my right ear is still a little loose. Having an XL tip size would solve all of our problems.

One way to fix it (though it might look a little ridiculous) is to rotate the AirPod 1/4. Standing upright the shape of the tip is long from top to bottom but you want to rotate it so that it is lying wide.
 
I am considering picking up a pair of these, but am curious about latency. Anyone notice any issues with audio not syncing up properly while watching movies, YouTube, etc.?
 
I have the Gen 1 AirPods and the NuraPhone headphones (on the £15 per month subscription) I realised I never use the Nuras so I just went out and got a set of these and will return the Nuras... loving them so far.
I guess I’ll give my Gen 1’s to my brother.

No issues. I use the original AirPods to watch stuff on my iPad and also through my Apple TV and the synching is perfect. I imagine the Pros are no different. Mine should be here in a few days......

You are absolutely right.
everyone who couldn’t get a seal should try this.

even with the medium tips I get a perfect seal and the sound quality is great and noise cancellation superior. Now.. how still can I use them in the normal way, as it looks a bit goofy.

And maybe I think other tips won’t bring a solution, since it is the shape of the EarPods itself that doesn’t seem to fit. If I twist them back down clockwise they immediately break seal and also are very loose.

Anybody been able to pick one up in store yesterday or today? Online pick up says not in stock for me.

Are there compatible foam tips? I agree. I like foam tips better.
Click to expand...

There should be. just measure the opening of the original tips and look up the size on Amazon.
once you use foam you never go back. They give you the perfect seal and help to keep them in.
 
I’m having this problem on my Pros. I think it maybe a software problem because both sounds good buy it’s unacceptable for a 279€ product.
