I ended up getting the Dekonis today. I'd have to agree with Minarets. They really stay in the ear way more securely than the stock tips after letting them expand for a few seconds. I don't notice much of a difference with sound, but it is a bit "fuller" — and ANC appears to be a bit stronger, too. I presume both are because of the better seal.
I just placed an order for these...hope they do the trick!...I just could not get a consistent seal with any of the Apple tips....
This was my issue. The silicone fit well and for a short period of time sealed great. I fly a lot with mine for work so have them in for hours at a time. For 30 min they would be good but anytime after that, they would start to slip out of their seal.
With the Dekoni's i used then for an entire range session of golf while swearting. Hit maybe 70 golf balls and then chipped for 30 min, and they never budged. I was amazed.
Would be interested to hear if the Dekoni tips loose their "memory" after a couple of weeks, as that is my experience with the tips from China.
Can't say as I've had them for less than a week, but in the video from ZReviews earlier on, Zeos says they tend to last for a while. On the website for the normal bulletz, it says, "After 1-3 months you can expect the foam will start losing its density, and it will be time to replace them and put in a new pair."
FYI I just received a set of replacement airpods pro from Apple...they have the latest firmware, AND they pass the fit test EVERY SINGLE TIME without anyone wavering.....so far so good! (And I’m using the replacement airpods’ medium silicone tips)
i forgot to mention....the noise cancellation DOES seem to be less than it used to be....I just read that they tweaked things to increase bass while reducing the noise cancellation....could be a class action maybe?

That was my thoughts exactly when I saw them. Probably better quality though and with mesh filter.
My presumption is that even Comply's tips will be that way. Why? Simply because AirPods Pro are different than all other IEMs. They don't have the nozzle, so the tips need to have an embedded plastic ring and base that clips on to the earphone, which reduces the amount of foam the manufacturers can put on -- especially if they are to fit inside the charging case.

I got my Charjen pro foam eartips today (Montreal, Canada). I have previously used memory foam eartips as I prefer the secure fit. My biggest issue with the stock tips is that they tend to make their way out of my ears over time as I move about, especially doing lite exercise like brisk walking, or jogging.
I's like to share a bit of impressions of the Charjen tips:
-Comfort is good
-the mesh guard is closer to the ear canal then with the stock tips.
-the plastic clip is quite substantial, as a result there isn't as much compression possible as my previous comply foam tips for older headphones.
It seems like tip size is important. When I first tried them out I chose the large tips, and I was surprised by the lack of base, even though isolation seemed fine. When I switched to the smaller of the 2 sizes, base is much improved as the headphone sits further in my ear canal. I also can say that the ANC Is much improved with he small tips. The ear tip "fit test" does fail with both tips.
It remains to be seen if they stand up to daily use and are worth it for the relatively expensive purchase price.

I just got a tracking update on my CharJens a month after the last one. They are...still stuck in the US lol
My CharJens were shipped on April 5. They were in LA for 1 Month. On May 5 it updated and they should be in Brussels since then. No Update since then. I didn`t received them.
I received a few different ones from Ali and they are pretty usable and have also a Mesh inside. So I will stick with them until my Charjens will arrive.
I also preordered the ones from comply. Maybe they arrive before the CharJens 😂

I received the Large Dekoni, and initially I was disappointed because they are very flat. If you measure the height from the mounting circle to the end of the top, it is flatter than the Apple tips. So obviously it is not going to work on the basis of going into your ear canal.
However I have installed these tips in conjunction with some rubber sleeves which I bought on Amazon, and in conjunction with each other it now stays in my ear as opposed to falling out easily. I am so happy. it is the first time I have been able to use my AirPods Pro having bought them months ago.
I suspect this setup will become even more effective when my comply tips arrive. here is a picture:

Those would definitely not go in my ear canal as I have tiny ones. I ordered the comply tips and I am hoping the cone shape help... Thanks for this picture and description
I got the Dekoni's the other day and they do feel more secure in the ear for sure. I haven't run them too long term yet for comfort, but my guess is they will be more comfortable.
One thing I noticed is the ear tips test fails consistently. I put the small stocks back in and one fails strangely enough then I put mediums in and they pass. Maybe the smalls compressed from me using them a couple weeks?
I think ANC has suffered a little since this new update or the tips. I only did the tip test because the ANC seems a little less since adding these on.
EDIT: I found a post about sucking on the grills and son of a B^&*( that fixed them failing strangely enough failing. Not overly sure on the ANC yet, but I think the sound is maybe a little fuller like they were.

Hi everyone, new member here. I just wanted to join, and thank everyone for their help with the foam tips. I, like many of you, loved my Airpods Pro, but one of my ears was just slightly slipping all the time. I ordered a pair of both the Dekoni and the Comply tips due to recommendations on this page.
The Dekoni's arrived today, and they work perfectly for me so far. The sound and fit is great. I am about to go for my first run in them, so hopefully they stay put during the physical activity.
