It doesn't matter. The Airpods cannot be driven as effectively as the EarPods can with the music I listen via my iPhone with Apple Music and with or without Earskinz on them.

Will be selling my Airpods shortly, had enough of their mediocrity. The other truly wireless earbud options I tried sound much better and go much louder.

I believe EarSkinz is going to be releasing a new version for AirPods in February. Hopefully they will be thinner and be able to fit into the case. I'm sure they will have cutouts for the sensor holes. Until then, i take them on and off as needed, mostly for jogging, which is when the right one tends to fall out. Problem with doing that is that I have already lost 2 pairs of Skinz!

On Twitter. There has been a lot of interest in updated EarSkinz specifically designed for AirPods. They have been teasing something coming in February.

Granted the airPods do NOT have a wire cord but the apple wired earPods never fit me. Especially the right side.
-i am not buying airPods till they use the new blueTooth spec
-may not buy earSkinz if the Pods + Skinz did not fit into the oem case. maybe incorporate an airPod charging function into a third party iPhone case. No way right?


I guess these days are gone but i used a custom molded wired earbud and they NEVER fell out at the gym and you could wear them all day w/o discomfort. These units safely fit way into the ear and this fitment gave sound isolation and they always sounded better than expected.

Not EarSkinz but an alternative is Earhoox, They sent me a couple of pairs to do a video


I think they are great apart from the fact i can't charge the airpods with them on
