Has anyone had any luck getting their AirPods to stay in their ears with a motorcycle helmet? Mine become dislodged when I put my helmet on. I’m wondering if AirPods Pro would stay in better while putting the helmet on and taking it off.

I've been using a helmet liner like this one:


The liner is very thin. Put in my pods, put the liner on and pull it down over the pods, and Bob's your uncle.

Thanks! I wonder how this does with curly hair underneath. ?

Haven't had any issues even without a beanie. Used the traditional wired earpods for many years, first analog then lightning, and now the identically shaped AirPods and not once did they fall or even slip out. The wired ones did get uncomfortable after a while though so I was never able to ride for more than maybe two hours before I had to take them out. Haven't had the chance to see whether or not the AirPods will cause the same issue but given their identical shape and size I very much expect them to.

I was always able to keep wired ones in without issue. Maybe I just have an oddly shaped grape. ?‍♀️

Maybe you could try foam covers such as these to prevent them from falling out?

Did you maybe by any chance get a new helmet? I've had some mixed experiences with various helmets in the past, some of which were so tight around my years that I could not use any earphones at all.
