nobody knows. they aren’t available yet.


I’m about ready to return mine. I can’t seem to get the right ear to stay in place at all. The left never moves with the small tip but the right ear comes loose constantly with both the small and medium tip.

Am I doing something wrong? Are these memory foam tips something I should try before giving up? I really want to keep them... it’s so nice not having to mess with the cord when working out!

I don’t know if the memory foam tips will be available anytime until mid Mar h which might be beyond your return window. But if you can hold off I reckon they will make a huge difference for you.

has anyone here tried the Sony WF-1000XM3’s? The reason I ask is Sony uses a hybrid “comfort” silicon/foam earbud tips and they’re super comfortable and resistant to sweat yet can still be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol.
Curious if a similar hybrid tip is available for the APP as I’m picki mine up (2nd pair) from my local Apple Store tomorrow.

I had the sony's and they came with both silicon and hybrid tips. The Hybrid tips were better but both fell out of my ear. I sold them and bought the APP which also fall out of my ear even more than the Sony's.

I'm keeping the APP in the hope that the Comply foams solve the problem. I've bought several aftermarket APP tips based on suggestions on this board and all of them were a waste of money. so at this point the APP are in a draw until Comply comes out.

I tried the WF-1000XM3 and returned them after two days. I found them to be very uncomfortable no matter what tips I used. They sounded great though. No problems at all with my APP so far. They are the most comfortable ear buds I’ve used and fit perfectly in my ears.

I have similar issues, and I've finally come up with a solution I'm really happy with. I bought a $5 24-pack of foam covers and these hooks and no longer have any issues with the AirPod Pros getting loose or falling out. Either one, the covers or the hooks, by itself makes a big difference, but in concert they're amazing. One of the problems I had, especially with my left ear, is that the large silicone ear tip wasn't big enough, and the foam covers add that extra amount of bulk that my ears need. I think if I tried really hard to shake them out I still could, but with the hooks, there is no chance of that.

Ironically, I actually bought the foam covers because silicone tips make my ears sweat and itch. I didn't count on them getting me the fit that I really need.

I have not had any issues with the covers sliding off. The APPs will fit in the charging case with the covers on, though I have to press firmly down on the lid, which mashes the foam a little, but it springs back into shape on removal from the case. In any case, I have 11 more pairs of covers when these wear out. Obviously, I do have to remove the hooks for charging and put them back on after, detracting a little from the APPs convenience, but I'd wager it's no worse than wearing a headband and probably more comfortable. I'm thinking of getting a charging case cover with a keychain carabiner so I can put the hooks on that when not in use.

What size are the foam pads and how did you get them on over the silicon tips? The ones you linked to are out of stock, so I bought some others, but they are impossible to stretch on over the silicon ear tips.

Thanks!

Odd. Foam Masters aren’t available anymore... may be has to do with all the complaints people left in the reviews.

AirPods Pro Memory Foam Ear Tips Replacement Complying Buds by Foam Masters | AUTOLINE PRO is The ONLY USA Manufacturer and Seller of Foam Masters (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083BCV9TT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JBwtEbEAP7V9J

I was considering these. I guess I'll hold off and wait for comply to release theirs.

Does anyone know of any others on Amazon currently that are good?

My app always fell out from my left ear no matter what size of tips i put on it
So im in search for memory foam tips
Which one is the best one ?

I am having the exact same issue. I returned mine it was so bad..... But waiting for some foam tips so I can try it out... My wife has a pair so it will be easy to test. I think I am just going to wait for the comply version since I'm in no hurry (currently using my Jabra elite's)

I received these in the mail yesterday and based on my limited usage yesterday afternoon, work far better than the Apple ones. Better isolation and they stay in my ear! With the Apple tips, the left ear kept falling out no matter what size I used.

I used the medium side Apple tips, and the medium size from this set fit great.

I also ordered these after reading this post (thanks!) and I also recommend them. They are true memory foam, similar to all of the Comply tips I have purchased over the years for my Powerbeats. I just received them so I can’t say if they improve my app experience, but if memory foam tips are better than silicone, these are true memory foam and professionally made. They look to be high quality. They snap on firmly. They have a wax guard. I mention twice that they are true memory foam because I have also purchased others claiming to be memory foam while they are only foam. IMO I can’t imagine Comply or Charjen tips being any better.

I have bought so many of these pairs from no-name ebay vendors and all have been absolute garbage. I am convinced that anyone recommending an off-brand eBay or Amazon listing is a shill for some crappy opportunist. BTW I have also bought from the eBay seller directly above this post and that product was junk.

Until Comply or some other reputable brand launches a product, people should hold their dollars.

i understand what you’re saying. i also have purchased all the crap posted here on ebay and amazon. i have nothing to gain from my recommendation, but imho the tips i linked above are what we have been waiting for. they are comply quality.

I've ordered the ones listed above, USA to UK shipping will be a while I think.

I am still happy enough with the cheaper ones from eBay, the only problem is that they become less "memory" foamy over time, still they're better than the stock tips though.

Did you order white? Interested to see how long they take to arrive!
