New conformal foam tips from Comply for AirPod Pro

[transmaster]

Just got a notification of these new Comply foam tips for the AirPod Pro. The set includes tools to clean and remove them. I have a set on order from Amazon. I am using the original foam tips on my AirPod Pro’s they are comfortable, hold well, and are very durable.

found foam ear tips reduce noise cancelling performance vs OG silicone tips so I stopped using them

Increased consistency in overall passive isolation leads to perception that the not-that-good-in-absolutes ANC is not working as well

Shocking

For me, the main thing historically keeping me from using these regularly in public is the fact that you have to compress the tips - i.e. they often have to come into contact with my unwashed fingers. I have considered some sort of printed and coated compressor which can be kept in a case of its own when not in use but so far it's only been that, considered - it would still be hella inconvenient.

I have used expandable foam tips for years with my Etymótic's and Shure IEMs. I moved to the Comply's because the expandable foam tips used by Shure and the Ety's quickly become dirty and hard. I don't compress these Comply tips for the AirPods I just rotate them in. With these new tips, there are instructions for cleaning them with soap and water.

The Shure tips are more sanitary since they are intended to be disposable. I had a giant bag of them when I used to main the SE535/etc.

Same here I have a large jar of the yellow Shure foam tip. They only last week or so. The Shure's were designed for musicians to use on stage. I still prefer the Shure SE's over the AirPods. But the AirPods are better when driving or making phone calls on the iPhone.

I discovered some charging problems with my case from using Complys for a while. Less frequent contact, and some misalignment of charging points.

You use them for A WEEK?

🤮

I hope they got some sort of cleaning inbetween...

This was when I was doing heavy construction work they were used both for hearing protection and for sound isolation. A week was as long as I used a set, if I had to muck 30 yards of concrete, they lasted one day. I also used the Silicone tips on the Ety's, which I kept in a jar of medical-grade Isopropyl alcohol. I wish I could use these on the AirPods they fit deep in your ears and would hold the AirPods securely in place

I have never had a problem with this. They drop right into my charger. is it a size thing? I use the medium size, would the large size be a problem?

I have used the large size for nearly 2 years. Never had a charging problem.
I get perfect ear fit test every time - could never get a single ear fit test to pass with the supplied silicone tips and they were frequently falling out. I have never once had a Comply tip fall out while using. Love them!
