I know the APP2 come with the Medium tips on the AirPods, but how do I know which tip size is right for my ears, first time with AirPods Pro, didn't have the 1st Gen, thanks for any help.
 
Use what is comfortable and makes a good seal.

I have been using large on my AirPods Pro 1, but using the mediums that came on my AirPods Pro 2.
I think Medium's work best, I don't want them to fall out, so need to test each I guess. I did the tip test, seemed both Medium & Large had good seals it said.

Try them all. I got a good seal with medium. Then tried small and couldn’t get a good seal so I stayed with medium and bought some 3rd party foam tips in medium. Feels more comfortable to me with the foam tips.

Like the others said - try them all and see what feels the best. I had the first generation AAP and now have the new ones, and while I like the sound better and the volume control takes getting used to, I have never gotten great ANC but I have also never gotten the ear test to pass (either on Gen1 or Gen2).

Same here. I just order some from Comply and expect to receive them tomorrow for my Airpods pro 2

And maybe they won't fit at all. They're not made for every ears on earth. Maybe try the Beats Fit Pro.

That’s what I got Comply. After a short break in period of a day or so the feel great. I mean they don’t feel bad to begin with but feel natural as time goes on. I’ve had mine a week or so.

Just got mine 2 days ago and they are very much comfortable in my ears than those stock silicon ear tips. Plus, the silicon tips really irritate my skin. I use the small size as those passed the fit test.
 
Def give all the sizes a try. I have tiny canals, and trying to fit Mediums would rarely get a seal, smalls and extra smalls would never seal and make my ear canals feel like they were going to burst.

Went to the large tips, and while the buds sit further back in my outer ear a little, they now seal every time and are super comfertable. Thankfully APPs only need a seal, they don’t actually HAVE to go in your ear canal like IEMs do.
