AirPods Pro memory foam ear tips.

I am not nearly as excited as you, as the quality of their "Comply Truly Wireless Replacement Earphone Tips" (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XYHC2MD) was terrible. They fell apart after about 1 month's usage. I very much hope that they have learned from that product and made something more durable for the APP.

Mine just arrived (black). Very fast delivery (USA->USA). Going to give them a 24 hour COVID-19 quarantine then give them a try.

comply tips last about a month. imo all comply tips. been buying for years for beats. memory foam doesn’t last long.

I'll disagree with you on that. I have some headphones using T-500s and T-400s and those have lasted a long time.

They’re quite active on their Twitter account. I’ve always had good experiences with Comply tips. I think it’s more that I trust Comply tips over some dodgy ones off eBay or Kickstarter.

maybe cause i’m wearing mine to workout. i also use the t-400 and for me they don’t last long. but i’m fine with it. i always like placing new clean tips.
 
At the price of Comply tips, I expect far more than 1 months usage before they fall apart.

First impressions are positive. Click on nicely, and the APPs feel secure in my ear.
 
Wait what am I missing? How are some people receiving comply tips already? The link says coming soon
 
Not sure, but I don’t know if memory foam is the answer. the latest I got from ebay are (seem to be) excellent quality, very similar if not the same foam as the Comply foam on my Beats tips. While I do get great fit and comfort, no slippage from my ears even after hours of use, I don’t get any noise isolation. I can’t pass the audio test in settings and although the sound quality is good, I can hear outside noise. I just went back to the original Apple tips. Maybe silicone provides a better seal. I will buy Comply tips when they come out and see if any difference.

that’s odd... one of the main features of foam tips is that they provide a much better seal than silicone.
 
The foam ones I got from eBay (not the USA ones which haven't arrived yet) don't pass the seal test for me either but I think they sound fine and they don't let in much noise. To me they sound as good as the original silicone tips, which always fall out and loose their bass over time anyway.

Still holding out on the Comply ones, hopefully the USA ones turn up at my UK address shortly.

Just bought a set from Pod Accessories and they are really nice. They come assembled and have a screen as well. Way more snug than the silicone so far.

I'm enjoying my AirPods Pro memory foam ear tips too. Some observations:

1. Build quality is not that great
2. Foam quality is not great either - mine has started to peel
3. The isolation is so great that I don't need to use ANC
4. The white foam tips become discolored quick due to ear gunk

Good product, but definitely overpriced @ $25.
 
Which ones did you buy? So many are being referenced in this thread it's hard to keep track.

Got the American tips in the UK.

Having a grille is nice but I am not convinced the material is any different to the tips from China. At a much higher price, not sure I can recommend these.

I have this feeling the material is going to be the same for the CharJens as well.
 
just got the ones from eBay. quality is great and the tips are well done.... however after trying every size I am still having an issue where the headphones feel loose in my left ear only. I will wait for Comply's version to see if that works any better and if not I am just going to give up on these.
