Try inserting the AirPods with the medium-sized ear tips in your ears so that the AirPods are seated comfortably and securely. If you can't get a good seal, try adjusting the AirPod or switch to a larger ear tip. If the ear tip feels too large in your ear or is uncomfortable, try a smaller ear tip.
Many people probably just stick the AirPods into their ears with the stem pointing down. However, that keeps them loose, virtually guaranteeing that they'll slip out. After placing the AirPods in your ears, twist them up around 30 degrees so the stem is more horizontal and is sticking out away from your ears.
You're wearing them wrong. As much as this may frustrate some, you may be putting your AirPods Pro in your ear the wrong way. Obviously, this is just for those who are experiencing issues, but some have found a better way to get the “right” fit. Reach behind your head, pulling upward on the back of your ear.
Runners consistently report that Airpods don't slip out from their ears while running during other workouts. However, they're not infallible – Airpods are wireless, after all – and have no over-ear clips to hold them in place.
The standard AirPods fit some people's ears perfectly (some people have no trouble running with them), but plenty of people can't get a secure fit. If you're in the latter group, I highly recommend you spend the extra money on the AirPods Pro. The AirPods Pro design simply fits more ears than the original AirPods.
Fit the Earbuds Firmly Into Your Ear
Before inserting the earbuds, hold your earlobes upward so that the ear canals are straightened, making it easier to insert and firmly fit the earbuds. Let go of the earlobes only after fitting the earbuds to firmly secure them into place.
Try to first open the ear canal by gently stretching your earlobe with one finger. Once you place the eargel inside and let go, the ear canal will form a tighter seal around the earbud. This often improves both the sound quality and the fit. This one's decidedly low-tech, but it does the trick.
The illustrious Apple AirPods Pro seems to one-up the AirPods (2nd generation) in every way including a better fit, active noise-cancelling, improved battery, and more.
Sometimes, wearing your AirPods for too long can cause chafing of the skin, itchiness, and even ear pain. Not only is this uncomfortable but listening to your AirPods nonstop without any breaks can also damage your ear health.
Frequently using your AirPods without cleaning them causes their tips to collect oil and earwax over time. This can ultimately cause your earbuds to easily fall out from your ears. If this is the case, you might have to wear your AirPods in the wrong position to keep them from falling out.
Fixing it is as simple as preparing a pot of pasta. All it takes is a pot of boiling water and some ice cubes or ice water to shrink the silicone case so it fits snugly again.
When it comes to wireless headphones for running, the AirPods Pro is a solid choice. Overall, they stay in the ears even while running and have plenty of wireless options that make using them easy while on the go.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) Truly Wireless are the best earbuds for small ears we've tested. These high-end earbuds are the next generation of the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless, and unlike their predecessor, they come with four sets of ear tips instead of three, and the newest one is an extra small pair.
The charging base is much nicer to deal with instead of the wires that come with the stock Apple EarPods. Again, do the Apple AirPods fall out while you work out? No. They might feel like they would but don't worry, they're are not.
Try inserting the AirPods with the medium-sized ear tips in your ears so that the AirPods are seated comfortably and securely. If you can't get a good seal, try adjusting the AirPod or switch to a larger ear tip. If the ear tip feels too large in your ear or is uncomfortable, try a smaller ear tip.
Clean off any oil, dirt, or residue from the ear tips of your AirPods, as they can cause your AirPods to slip easily. By ensuring the surface of the ear tips is “squeaky clean,” you'll be sure to experience better grip when wearing them.
The ear tips of the buds should be snugly fitted inside the ear canals. You can tell if it's properly worn when the earbuds don't move around as you move from place to place as well. To secure the earbuds in place, pull the upper part of your ears upwards and place the earbuds inside.
Method 2: You can try gently putting your fingers in your ears starting with your smallest finger. Move to the next finger on each hand until you get a good seal and outside noise sounds muffled. Then try to match the size of that finger to one of the provided ear tip sizes.
The AirPods (3rd generation) has better battery life than the second generation. After subjecting each pair of AirPods to a constant 75dB(SPL), we found that the AirPods (2nd generation) lasted 4 hours, 7 minutes, and the AirPods (3rd generation) has a battery life of 6 hours, 21 minutes.
Yes, you can use the AirPods Pro without their eartips. You'll still hear your music, podcasts, or phone calls, and you'll still be able to talk to Siri. And if you really dislike the feeling of having silicone plugs pushed up against your ear canals, they might feel more comfortable if you wear them this way.
Aside from the design change, which should fit most ears better than the AirPods 2nd Generation (though not very small ears), the biggest change is to the sound quality: It's much improved. Also, battery life is better, and the AirPods 3 are officially water-resistant.
