I'm one of those people who absolutely hates silicone-tipped in-ear buds and loves the gen 1 and 2 as they fit perfectly inside my ear. I got the 3 a while ago and while I enjoyed the better sound quality, the buds' shape got bulkier and therefore just didn't me fit well anymore. I also faced the problem of them easily falling out and was constantly scared of losing them on the go. Just exchanged them for the 4 now and at first I didn't noticed until I tried them on but the 4's shape have slightly gone back to the gen 1 and 2 and I couldn't be happier as they now fit me even better 🤩 Having the ANC and USB-C charging now is also such a huge plus!! Really feels like Apple created something specifically for my needs!

[@vietnguyen2293]

That’s amazing that the regular airpods have been really solid for you. I had the 1st and 2nd gen of standard Airpods before switching to the Pros and haven’t looked back. The regular Airpods never gave me trouble by any means, but that snug fit and ANC was too good to beat. Very interested to see how the AirPod 4’s fare in day to day usage.

[@bryan_350_5]

@@vietnguyen2293yeah i just bout a new pair of pros yesterday. I had lost my other pair and been using my old air pod gen 2s since which have such poor volume and they just dont sound as good

[@Cap683]

Having a tip in my ear canal is painful. I currently have the 3 AirPods which actually are pretty good for music in a quiet environment and were much better than the AirPod 2 which were too tinny to enjoy music. I might get the AirPods 4.

[@MarlonMoyer]

I'm one of those people that can't stand the silicon ear tips. I had the original APPros, and while I liked them a lot, I could only keep them in my ears for around an hour before they became uncomfortable. When they went bad with the crackle, I bought the AirPod 3's. I was really impressed with how good they sounded and I would regularly wear them until the low battery alert chimed. Got the AirPod 4 ANC the week they came out and these by far are my favorites. The ANC is perfect for me. I agree, it's noise reduction, but that's exactly what I want. I like still having awareness of my surroundings. One of my use cases for ANC is when I drag my rolling trash carts down my 900ft gravel drive. With ANC, I never miss a word in my podcasts. It's almost magic how they can take the cart noise down to just a low background rumble.

[@bryanchavez6525]

I personally love the seal I get from the AirPods Pro 2nd gen. The only problem is I like using them for running or the gym, but as soon as I start sweating they slowly start to ease out. I never had that problem with the AirPods 3. HOWEVER, I’m also not willing to sacrifice the noise cancellation. I’m hoping these AirPods 4 are the perfect mix of both 🙏🏽🙏🏽.

Great if you have all of their products, terrible if you ever want to change.

[@oscarmcevoy1693]

Same here

[@plythbird]

to anyone that hates silicon tip earbuds: try different tip sizes. i hated them for years until i got a decent pair of IEMs and actually tried the different sizes of tips for an extended period of time. it may also be worth trying out foam eartips, i myself hate them but a lot of people love them. at the end of the day, all ears are different. what works for someone else will not necessarily work for you. also when i say try different tip sizes, i mean try ALL of them. for years i never bothered trying small ear tips because i just assumed they would fall out, but when i actually tried them i found that they are 100% the best for me.

[@brian_mccomedy]

Honestly the issue I find isn’t the size on the silicone tips. It’s the shape of the rest of the AirPod. Anytime I try the ear tip fit test on the iPhone it never gets a complete seal. If your auricle doesn’t fully cover the two sensors on the outside of the AirPod, then it won’t detect a proper fit. Changing the silicone tip sizes doesn’t affect the seal on the outside, it just helps prevent the AirPod from falling out. I’ve yet to try the foam tips though.

[@plythbird]

​@@brian_mccomedy foam tips may help if you can tolerate them. for me they provide a great seal but I don't like the feeling of the material in my ear. they actually provide the best seal you can get because the foam expands in your ear leaving no gaps

[@0dylan]

I've tried foam tips, rubber tips, hook tips, small, medium, large tips. None of them are good, they're all uncomfortable after 5 minutes. Only the og airpods fit my ear well. The airpod 3 do not fit my ear well. I wonder how these 4s will feel.

[@Venom_Klyntar]

nah ive had ear buds that came with 3 sizes of tips and all of them hurt my ears after an hour or so of using and ALL of them slide out of my ears. And they were jaybirds which are far from cheap.

Are you going to post your review of the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2? I just got them and am very impressed. The noise cancellation is incredible, as is the sound quality.

[@witnessg431]

They should add silicone wingtips. Earbuds with wingtips are the only ones that stay in my ear.

[@johnnyboy55]

Same. And like Marques mine never fit in my right ear. EarPods, Liberty 4s etc. Gotta wear a headband to keep em in.

I have had my AirPods 3 for 2 and a half years now and I just love it the sound quality hasn't changed a bit and the battery still perfect so I am probably gonna wait another year and then buy the 4's

[@kryptx1339]

Apple really just threw a USB-C on the AirPods Max and called it a day-classic! We need Steve Jobs back😭.

[@rahrulz]

I think that was on purpose by Apple, they clearly could have. I guess the idea was not to disappoint the people who have recently bought the AirPods Max worth 549$. Possibly a significant number of people may have bought Max in the last 2 years. Airpods Max popularity was underrated and gradual, and people only started to buy more of it much later than its release. It’s there business tactic clearly.

[@spikespiegel323]

​@rahrulz that literally makes zero sense. The Airpod Max has been out for 4 years now. Your point would hold weight if they'd been released last year, but no, they've been out, and if you're still paying full price for these headphones, that's on you. They go on sale all the time. There's no excuse for Apple not to update the Airpod Max.

[@RamGuy459]

@@rahrulz Doesn't make much sense to be honest. You are still pissing off everyone who jumped onto the AirPods Max the first 6-months as all our AirPods Max are starting to show terrible battery life if you got them the first year. I've been painfully holding out for AirPods Max. But this release was such a low blow that I simply refuse to get new ones now, even though my battery life is terrible. I do prefer the AirPods Max for several reasons. But this price tag becomes a problem when Apple refuses to do anything more with the product for this long. Tossing out new ones with USB-C being the only difference, while keeping the same high price comes off as extremely arrogant. Not bringing the H2-chip, which has been available for so long now, to make it have feature parity with AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2 was the bare minimum one would expect.

[@chassycy]

AirPods 4 with the noise cancelling is the product that I have been waiting for years this is going to be my absolute favourite AirPods ever never liked the pro with the ear tips!!!!!!😂😂😂

[@adesoladada]

The fact that only the earpod in your right ear is falling off could mean that the shape of your ears are not identical.

[@laloreta798]

That is why silicone tips are so good you can choose different sizes and the fit is more forgiven

I will never understand why people don’t like Silicone Tips it holds the AirPods, or earbuds in perfectly! Thats why I never bought any other AirPods but the Pros, or Soundocre Earbuds! Great video though Bro…

[@jayel7570]

Dont know how to describe it but my ears get...tired with the tips. The seal is nice but if theyve added ANC and improved the soundstage from the 3's at all then its a no brainer.

[@parkerbreit9116]

Because ears have different shapes? Your “perfectly” doesn’t fit my ears at all. The best fit I’ve found so far is the air pods first gen. They quite literally don’t fall out of my ears no matter what I do. Silicone tips on the other hand don’t fit at all, they force the ear buds out of my ears and they fall out without me moving.

[@muzzy996]

@@parkerbreit9116 Agree. I own earbuds so that I have something in a pinch due to their compact nature but I have never been able to wear them for extended periods of time despite having tried dozens and dozens of different earbuds. They are either constantly falling out or eventually make my ears hurt due to poor fitment (my left and right ears are slightly different as well). Due to these challenges I will always travel with over ear noise canceling headphones as my primary and have a backup set of NC earbuds in my bag.

[@mettaworldelbow7104]

The silicone tips tend to irritate my ear when worn for too long, and I've read other people's accounts that are similar. It's a difficult compromise to make even though I love the sound quality, ease of use and ANC.

[@FsxTime]

The silicone tip just doesn’t feel natural and hurts even after mere seconds. The worst part is that no tip fits my ear. Either they are too small and fall out my ear or they are too big
