I read that replacement tips from Apple are $4. Has anyone found any to order? I was wanting to get some early and store away for when needed.
I feel like such a loser.... but none of the tips work for my left ear. The AirPods don’t fall out but they just feel loose so I get that constant sensation like they’re about to fall out..... the right ear is perfectly snug.... and both ears are nice and tight and snug with my jabra elite 65t’s..... I really really like these and was so excited when they were announced. I will keep trying them for a few days but it’s not looking good 😞
A third party tip might work for the problem ear. It is not uncommon for one ear to be a different size.
I have similar left ear problem by the sounds, i use small and give them a twist when put in, seems to work and i get a good seal.
You can always use different size tips in each ear. My right ear canal is generally bigger than my left and, as such, I usually wear a larger tip in my right ear. With my Powerbeats Pro, I run the large tip on the right and the medium tip on the left.
I don’t know if comply or third parties will come out with compatible tips before the 14 day return window is up. If so I would definitely be open to trying it

trust me I’ve tried every combination possible lol. And I have tried the twist as well, I was very familiar with that since that’s how my Jabras go in.
I have this feeling on my left ear too. Right ear is seal perfect but left side feels alittle less sealed.
Oh wow I thought it was just me and I had weird ears lol. Are you guys just going to deal with it? I'm kind of on the fence but leaning a little more towards returning and sticking with my Jabra elites
fwiw, my left AirPods Pro fits in snugly with the medium tip but the right side feels loose and I keep having to press it back in. Today I plan to try the other sized tips.
Thats pretty much the feeling I get with my left ear... It loosens up and I have to push it back in
Noticed the Small sized Tips weren’t gripping & not taking much to remove (surprised they never fell out, especially during gym workouts), so went back to the Mediums (only reason I went Small was because they caused the buds to go in further & hence not stick out the side of my head, like the Mediums/Large Tips did – so an aesthetic thing...).
But now that the Mediums are in, I don’t feel they stick out further...& more importantly, they’re harder to pull out & create a better seal (It may be placebo, but I’m hearing more bass now, even with the EQ off – I had to switch the EQ to ‘Hip-Hop’ with the Small Tips).

You are amused easily, Hate to burst your bubble, but a bit late to the party that was 2 months ago lol
