AirPods Pro memory foam ear tips.

I did just have a comply foam come off in my ear in a restaurant so didn't have the "tools" to get it out. Was damn hard. Ended up having lunch with it stuck in my ear. Not sure if because it wasn't on good or not so can't blame comply yet but will continue to monitor.

Neither the Dekoni or Comply connect as solidly as the stock silicon (of course!)

I just spent a half hour listening with the Comply tips. Like all their other tips, they cause a very discernible treble roll off. One thing for sure, the rather pedestrian execution on these shows just how brilliant the technical execution of the Apple team was with the original silicone tips.

I didn’t have trouble installing or removing the Comply tips, just need to snag the frame with a nail to remove. But the seal was no better and the treble roll was excessive for my taste.

Pointless, especially for the price.

I’ll give them one more try, tonight at pistol practice. I find the regular AirPods Pro silicone tips to be just the extra needed under my MSA Sordin earpros when shooting indoors- we’ll see if the Comply tips are any better for that.

I hope the second generation of Airpods Pros will make the silicone less slippery or use a different material. They're awesome tips, but they just lose the seal when I start moving about and that's why I turned to memory foam.

The new video for the Comply tips allowed me to finally get them off with relative ease. The left one, that is. The right one would not budge no matter what I did.
 
Mine were a cinch to remove, perhaps I got lucky. Disappointing they didn’t get these quite right - it’s not like they didn’t have time to sweat the details.
 
I quite like the sound of either Dekoni and Comply (as well as the stock silicone).

Like was just said, if the stock silicone (which i get are better longer hygienically ) but they lose a seal because of how slick they are. When i yawn or wear for longer periods of time.
 
I just got my Comply tips. Figured the best NC test would be to mow the lawn.

Welp, they do not seem to work for me. Failed the seal test and the NC is almost non existent. Popped the large OE silicone back on and can mow the lawn listing to music comfortably as usual. Perhaps I did not have the Comply’s installed correctly? I noticed a huge jump in sound quality and NC performance when I went back to the Apple silicone. Maybe my ear shape is ill suited.

I will try a little more testing, could be user error, could be I need to step down to the medium to get a deeper fit?
 
Just got mine... I guess according to the email... I was a "lucky one"... So far not impressed. I can't even remove them with ripping the thing off . At least it somewhat fits me....

Add this to list of crap to do today...

I’ve used one of the sets of the Complys for a couple of days and not really digging them. I went back the the silicon tips, which I find are a better fit for me. I’ve sanitized the pair I used and the other two are untouched. They’re size M. Happy to sell them to whomever is interested. Send me a message and make me a fair offer.

I got mine Thursday and have mostly just been using them one bud at a time for Zoom calls but theyre pretty close to what i was looking for. music sounds great so far but i havent spent much time with that. The oem silicone tips would still have the buds falling out when i made a weird move every few weeks, this seems to have eliminated that.
 
Some mixed reviews on the comply really not sure what way to go now. Which would be my best option? Charjen? Comply? Or any other ones that people know of really need some help on this. Just need a good pair of tips that will hold and stay in and hold up over the coarse of time.
 
Do NOT buy the Comply tips.. Im a fan of their products but you can tell they got someone quick to manufacture them. My set had foam bubbles in the material and the foam ripped off of the plastic in two days. It took 5 weeks to ship now i'm on week 2 or 3 to get my refund.

WTH happened to this company??

Well, i have used the comply daily for the last two weeks as i use my AirPods Pro to work out in. Other than my right ear foam coming disconnected once inside my ear and having a hard time getting it out, I'm satisfied with their performance. Honestly, they stay in my ear when sweating better than I thought. They don't feel as "sticky" or budge-proof as they Dekoni but have not moved at all. I would say that both the Dekoni and Comply are great. I haven't seen the issues the other have. Based on that, i would go Dekoni.

If you still can't decide it comes down to one thing and depends on if you know your ears or not. If you have deeper cavity in your ears, comply all the way. If not, Dekonis everyday.

I don't understand why they didn't use the true grip foam like they use for their other custom fitments like the Sony Noise Canceling buds.
 
I am really incredibly disappointed in the Comply buds and I can't recommend them to anyone for the price.

The foam is not genuine Comply foam first of all. Second, they don't stay in my ears when exercising, any moisture means they loosen and fall out.

The CharJens and even the Chinese cheap ones didn't have this problem. Comply really dropped the ball and I will be seeking a refund if possible.

Can you describe what the genuine Comply foam is like? This is my first product from them so I don’t have anything to compare it with.
 
Got my Comply's the other day and am very disappointed. I have not used Comply before (or really any foam eartips) so I cannot compare to any of them, however I can say these do not fit in my ear well. They actually fit worse than the default buds. And according to the iPhone fit test logs I am getting a worse seal. So so much for that :/
 
Comply sounds like avoid at all costs. Which is a shame as have heard good things about them and thought they would be the best option. I no longer no what my options are and what tips to go for now.
