I noticed that one bud, the right, has one of the teeth that clip the tips less pronounced than other.

In that bud, the tips came out easily compared to the other one.

in spite of this, the seal test is ok every time after 30days of usage.

I got other 30 days to decide if keep or not, what would you suggest?

If you get a good seal, good sound and ANC works than I would keep them. Why kick Santa Claus in the butt. Your rolling the dice by exchanging them.

you’re right. With all the issues I’m reading I think I’ll keep this unit.

That’s what I would do. My right bud passes the fit test every time but, my left one fails every time. The sound and ANC works flawlessly.

this is the third unit I swap and honestly I‘m tired to loose time going back and forth the AS.

Don’t care if the grip of one tooth is less than other, the tips are not loose and they stay in place. The APP works great.

The only complaints is about the voice quality during call, my voice is a bit muffled, but when I heard some recorded done by other users I think I’ve been lucky ?

I pop up the discussion asking for a feedback about your unit. It seems my unit has one hook (the internal on) less protruding than the opposite.

I noticed it because it pretty easy to extract the tip compared to the other buds. The hook does not seems to be broken or wear, but, don't know. A bit of force is needed to extract so i don't think it became looser with time.

Here's some picture.
