Hey,

I feel like the stock ear tips could go a little bit deeper inside the ear canal.

Any suggestion about specific models that would match this criteria? Memory foam or comply is not mandatory. I could use the extra noise cancellation, but this material usually requires regular replacement due to wear.

Thanks for your input on this matter.
🙂

the 1st and 2nd gen pros tips are basically interchangeable. Apple adjusted the sizes of the part that goes into your ear slightly and changed the mesh inside, but the fitting that snaps the tip and pod together is the same on both. Most 3rd party just label them as "gen 1 & 2 compatible"

I usually use comply, they last around 2-4 months, but I'm also not a heavy user. I'm currently trying out foam masters, but didn't notice that much of a diffence. so will probably just go back to comply when I wear these out.

Did you ever find any?

I use these Long tips on my Shure Aonic 2s: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DBADI32 and am considering getting some AirPods Pro 2s during the Prime Sale today but not if I can't find equivalent long tips.

My left ear is a much different size than my right ear and using the long tip in my left and a regular tip in my right is almost as good as when I wear custom fit tips (and I don't want to go back to the audiologist to get custom airpod tips)

No I didn't.

I bought a silicone hook that wraps around the AirPods Pro and that helps maintain them. It's not exactly the same results as what I had hoped for, but at least they don't fall off my ear so easily.

Damn - thanks for getting back to me though.

I am going to try using different sizes in each ear and see if that works for me.

I have this problem, because the ear tips sit so close to the Airpod Pros themselves, they don't go deep enough for my canals and there is never a good seal. With Sony and others, I don't have this issue.

Looking for something that has like an extension piece, so the ear tips themselves sit further away from the base of Airpods.
