They fit my ears much better. I fell asleep with the AirPods on last night and they didn't fall out at all. The AP2 always fall out whenever I sleep with them on.
Got a tip for us?

How’s the fit with APP3

To my vast and immeasurable disappointment, Apple's army of engineers has conspired against me and produced a set of AirPods that cause me discomfort the second they go in my ears to the second they are pulled out. The pressure never lets up, and I never forget they are there. Running in particular is uncomfortable, My APP2s are wonderful by comparison. Did the fit test and everything.
Such a shame, but I must lob them back home to Apple.

You folks should indicate if you tried the other tips. The medium tips that come on the 3s were tight. The next size down were perfect.
I found the fitment of the 3's to hurt my ears after a while. It wasn't the tips but rather the hard plastic part that was doing it. It felt like a lot of IEM's that I've tried in the past.
The APP2's fit me quite well and I can wear them for hours at a time and not have any issues.
I returned the APP3's today to Apple, and I provided them some constructive feedback on their website, too.

Yes, tried the other tips. The ones preinstalled were best for comfort but loose. Anything else was painful.
