I think the silicone probably is more comfortable but the problem is that they get slippery from the oils in my ears, so on a run or after a few days of use, they become useless.
Got a tip for us?

There is your problem. Running is the thing you do to get to your car when its raining
My comply order no longer shows an estimated ship date, that area is now blank..... I went from 5/31 to 6/15 yesterday and now blank... Status still says "awaiting fulfillment"..... Anyone else?
I ordered my Comply tips on May 21st. Still 'awaiting fulfillment'. No other information. At least the Dekoni ones have worked quite well. I run 10k in them and barely need to adjustment at all, which is obviously way better than the silicone tips ever will.
Sure wish I could try the comply ones, because the fit still isn't perfect, but I'm starting to wonder if i'll ever see them.

Just got this email from them
We are very sorry for the lack of communication from our end. Due to the extremely high demand of this product, we were forced last minute to change the ship dates and communicate this to our customers who already purchased. This was enforced late yesterday, and we are working as hard as possible to ensure all of our customers are aware of the issues.
We have committed to ship all orders placed between the dates of April 26th and April 28th by the end of the week. If your order falls within that time frame, you should receive it within a week from the ship date. For any other orders, they will ship in the order they were received. We do not have a set time at this point, as our upper management team has not informed us of the expected ship dates. We will be sending an email out with more information for ship dates once we are directed with more information.

I got these a couple of days ago but only just opened the package. Will try them today.

The tip on left is the dekoni, and one on right is the comply. The comply tip is narrower and very slightly taller.

IN terms of fit initially the large tips seemed pretty snug. But once I started talking with the buds in my ear, they fell out within 5 minutes. The issue is ears flex with jaw movement, and it seems some of these tips don't have enough flexibility for that. Dekoni stayed in longer.
The Medium tips performed better, similar to the Dekoni. The issue with the Comply tips is that they get a good seal, but they eventually slip out of your ear. I wonder why they didn't make these with their "True Grip" foam.

Thanks. The pic of their height is why I tried and ordered Comply. I love my Dekonis. They stay put in my ear like none other i have tried. No sign of slippery silicone like the factory tips. I work out, and have long hour (golf) range sessions in high heat and sweat and they don't fall out.
THE only reason i wanted to try Comply tho, is I wish Dekonis were "taller" like your pic shows. I feel the right one in my ear doesn't go back far enough in my ear. I was hoping complys would and of course have enough surface texture that they too don't move. Starting to think Dekoni May be the way to go. I guess I'll have to still try the Comply if and when they arrive.
Thanks for the information. That's good to know. No problem with the Dekoni's while talking for me either.
This is exactly how I fell. Will be interesting to compare.
I have the Charjens, Comply‘s and also my DIY method of using the original silicon tips enforced by true grip pro‘s. For everyone with normal ears, probably the original ones or the comfy foam are suitable.
However, if you have large ear canals, the only one which gives me good isolation and really proper bass response is using the original large silicon tips with true grip pro.
The photo shows the comply foam for AirPods Pro, which I tried. Besides you can see my DIY (original one enforced by true grip pros). Those I use daily and so far nothing beats them in sound.
In terms of sound isolation they are also far better than the complys or charjens.
Charjens unfortunately are the worst due to their thin material. Comply foam are ok but not perfect isolating.

I got a set of these airpods covers on amazon, and they help a lot with running.

The other option is using ear hooks, which works, but is a less elegant solution. I will use them if I am running on really hilly terrain, or running a 5k so I can concentrate on the race and not on my airpods.
More waiting. Comply didn’t ship my order on time, and now the package that was supposed to be delivered today has just been transferred from UPS to the US Postal Service, so it’ll be Monday or Tuesday.
That’s strange, UPS could of delivered it to you fairly quickly, because of the USPS backlog let’s hope you get them on time now. Been waiting 4 weeks for a package from USPS international with no updates since two weeks ago.
Ordered mine on 4/28. Shipped on 6/1. Got them yesterday on 6/6.
these are exactly what my ears needed to provide a more secure/snug fit. I too have oily ear wax and would always have to adjust the AirPods Pro. I would have to turn them and constantly readjust them.
I used the M silicone tips and ordered the M from Comply.

Just got my Comply tips today, and they are wonderful. This is my first time using their product and I am very pleased. I'm using the small tips, and they're extremely comfortable and do not slide out of my ears. Noise cancellation is fantastic.
I genuinely think the CharJens are pretty good. They stay in my ears very well (I use the smaller size) and they feel very snug when I'm out running. They're by far the best tips I've used for the AirPods Pro.
If the Comply are better fantastic - but I would recommend the CharJens.

great news. I am supposed to get mine today but the tracking info that comply provides through some service called aftership is horrible. I haven't received an update on the shipment since June 5th and I can't find the UPS tracking # so I can look it up myself.
