Well, I was able to give them a try and for me, it's a mixed bag. They are better than the original APP and the AP3, but they still aren't as comfortable as I had hoped. I tired the small tips and failed the fit test. The medium's pass as well as the large. I tried the large as you mentioned and it's feels the same. I will say that it's better, and there's a possibility I could get used to them since it's not pain or soreness I feel, but discomfort. Usually the soreness just grows and grows, but this discomfort started about 20 min in but wasn't really worse after 30 min when I had to remove them to do something else for a bit. Maybe with extended use I could get rid of the discomfort. I am wearing them now (they are my wife's though as a replacement using our CC extended warranty since her left APP volume is about 20% of the right APP now), so I will probably try using them today and tomorrow while she is at work and see how it goes.
I was very hopeful though when I put them in initially that it was going to be a big improvement. Usually I can tell right off if there's too much pressure where the bulb rests, and I don't have that. That's why I think I might be able to develop a level of comfort with these. I am very glad they made the improvement though and hope they can make further improvements on future iterations so they work even better.
