I have owned APP for 6 weeks. Luckily I’ve never experienced specific problems with fit test or mic audio quality.

All three sizes fit pretty week and pass the test, so for 4 weeks I settle on medium size.

I switched to large to experiment if something was better but I come back because of some kind of discomfort in the ears after an hour or so.

I’m currently testing the small size: they fit better all the way,going a bit deeper into the canal they provide:

- more solid sensation
- greater anc
- greater music quality

In the first istance I didn’t gave em credit because I felt them loose.

Take your time to test every single size, just don’t stop to the first minutes impression ☝

I’m waiting for the symbio to arrive to test the mod suggested in the forum, I’ll feedback you once I’ll have the tests done.

I finally settled on the large tip for my left ear and medium for my right. The treble is smoother this way; the sound was a little rough when I used medium for both.

I ended up doing the opposite - started with Small tips, thinking they’d go in deeper & create a better seal. They looked like they went in deeper too.

But they ended up gradually slipping back out because they weren’t fat enough to form a seal around them.

The Mediums ended up being the best for me as they stayed put inside the ears.

I have been running the fit test on my new AirPods and the right ear is good with the small tip, but I tried all of the sizes on my left ear and can't get a good fit according to the app. What now? The small tip seems to be the most comfortable for me, but apparently I'm not getting a good seal with it.

Thought for certain that the small would be the size I'd be using. ended up with large in both ears.

I've been using them since Christmas, when I received them as a gift, and I think I'll go back and revisit each size now that I've worn them for several weeks. Although, I don't think I'll see any changes. But I'm getting some clipping from mostly the left unit when I speak and NC I on. Especially when I was taking a call on the APP. I was just going to return the left unit under warranty but I think I'll give the other sizes a try before I do.
