AirPod Pro: How To Change Ear Tips Safely

[@millertym1976]

Thanks for the demonstration! I would just add it felt to me a little bit harder of a pull than just "gently" to remove... it was what I'd call an "almost scary I'll rip it" amount of force on the squeeze/pull for my pair.

[@Oskar-Fridsell]

yeah mine too

[@tttrev2]

frl bro i wasn’t chancing it until i saw someone else do it 😂

[@jasmynpollock7334]

Same. I pulled gently and nothing. I was scared to pull harder for a second, but I tightened my grip more at the base and it popped off a little easier.

[@sugar3091]

I felt this on another level, there was nothing gentle about this process

Facts

[@sheiringhoddoucy1804]

For anyone else struggling, it definitely took more than a “gentle” tug for me. I had to exert an uncomfortably firm, but steady, amount of force to pull them off. They did not break or tear, however. I think steady is key. And the unrolling method in this video makes it a lot easier than the ridiculously basic steps on Apple’s site; the only detachment happening there is Apple, from reality-the ear tips themselves stay firmly in place.

[@BIGROMEx2]

There should be two indentations on each side when you roll it back. Place your fingernail under one and pull it off

[@sheiringhoddoucy1804]

@@BIGROMEx2 thanks for that tip. I was too nervous to stick a nail under/in the indentation for leverage, but I’ll try it next time to see if it makes it any easier.

The small ear tips feel best in my ears. More comfortable than the medium. Amazing what a difference the sizes make in terms of comfort!

[@ghste1684]

I agree, with the medium I would feel how the AirPod was slowly moving out of my ear which was very uncomfortable while being busy doing something

[@QueenPlay34]

Same for me because the medium was a bit large for my ears 😂

[@amymonsivais7211]

Thank you for the clear demonstration and instruction. Small worked best for me. I was terrified of tearing or ripping the tip while removing the medium tip that it came with, so it was a relief to see how it was done. I also had to tug a little more than gently, and sort of squeezed where the little notches where located as I pulled.

[@ruththecat9813]

Thanks for the great instructions. Per your request, I switched from medium to small. Small is a far better fit for me.

Thank u so much for this video! I was so scared of messing them up but they keep popping out of my ears so I had to do something! Very grateful for you showing that a little strength won’t hurt them.

[@DittzyDJ]

Reading the comments, in addition to the video, was super helpful. Another thing that helped me a lot was pulling the extra tips off the container/plastic sheet they come attached to. It gave me a better feel for the amount of tug needed, and the direction to pull, when exchanging the tips on the earbuds.

[@JoeParness]

Understanding but I am actually responding to a four-year-old video however, after the halfway point I realized how simple this process was your videos, direct straightforward into the point unlike many, which feel the need to bloviate. Thank you.

[@rebeccasimmonsbrown3208]

Thank you so much for this! I was terrified to change these but desperately needed to. The medium tip fit okay in my ear without a daith piercing but I need the small for my ear with the daith ring. The bud kept falling out during workouts and when I spoke. I switched both to the small size and it’s much better!

[@joandwalker]

Thanks for this. i had struggled to follow Apple's instructions and got no where. With your video I was able to switch to the small tips within a few minutes. They stay in my ears much better now.

[@CheckAG]

That's great, I love that you've got a fit that's better!!!👍

[@kittyspritzer799]

Thank you for the quick and straight-to-the point demonstration on how to do this, all while keeping your fingers out of the way of what it is we need to be seeing, which is all too common in KZbin videos. As others had mentioned, yes, it's more than just a gentle pull. For me, I would describe it as firm, slow, and strong. And a reminder: unroll them, and GRIP AND PULL FROM THE BASE. Someone commented that they ripped theirs apart; I'm guessing they were pulling from the wrong end. Might I also add for anyone else that is having trouble with using the Press Controls to Play, Pause, Skip Forward or Skip Back, I found a fix not on the AirPods themselves, but on my iPhone. At first I thought they were defective; happy to know it was just a small adjustment needed. Here's what I did: 1. Go to "Settings," 2. Then to "Accessibility" 3. Then to "AirPods" 4. Then to "Press and Hold Duration" section I tried all three options options, (Default, Shorter, and Shortest) I settled on on "Shortest." That seemed to be the right speed for the way I press the AirPods. Obviously, you might find another setting that better suits you. I did experiment with the "Press Speed" choices (Default, Slower, and Slowest), but they didn't seem to have any effect on the way I was using them; perhaps it will be different for you. Couldn't be happier with them so far; I am absolutely AMAZED by the noise cancellation quality, unlike anything else I've ever used in the past. I just ordered an aftermarket ear loop specifically for AirPods Pro on Amazon, because I know otherwise that these things are going to fall out of my ears and I'm going to lose them.

[@booyahboogie3350]

yes, the noise cancellation is insane!! i got mine for my misophonia, and its uncanny how silent things are!!

[@carlyk7322]

Excellent demonstration. So glad I watched; I would have broken SOMETHING! Like the comment from Brian Miller, it felt like I was about to rip the soft rubber. Since you asked to report which size works best, i used Apple's "Ear tip fit test". Amazing! Ended up with medium in left ear; large in right! Our bodies are distinctly asymmetrical.

[@pb3544]

I’ve had AirPod pro for while now & never tried using different size in each ear. As I just tried small, medium & large but all three have never been a perfect fit but going to try what you’ve done as use them constantly. Thanks for your comment 👍🏻

Great quick how-to! They are Oval! I've had these just a few days and my left outer ear is hurting/sore with the default Medium. I'm switching to Small which definitely fits easier. Still not passing the Ear Tip Fit Test, unless I push them in during the test. Maybe the Medium tip just needs to adjust/form to my ear canal? Funny that Apple doesn't get a quick overview like you -- very important info for these!

Strangely enough I use the smalls. In general I am not really a small guy, but the mediums keep slowly pushing out of my ears. I did the “fit test” on both medium and small and both were good. I am glad I played around with the sizes as not only do the smalls stay in place, they also feel “lighter” in my ears. (The medium put some pressure on my ears making it noticeable that I had headphones in).
