foam tips Weve tested pretty much all the best earbuds out there, and the AirPods Pro lineup always lands in our list of top models but keeping them tucked securely in your ears can be a bit of a challenge during activities that involve a lot of movement.

If you find that your AirPods Pro slip out while running, or even walking and chewing, youre not in the minority. Turns out, theres a whole community of AirPod users out there who are running into the same issues. I switched from earbuds to using some of the best headphones a while back, but when I had my old AirPods I endured the same frustrations of having to push them back into my ear every now and then. Its quite annoying, especially if you use AirPods Pro for exercising but one user has found a fix. Latest Videos From
TechRadar Watch full video here: Liquid silicone is the solution (apparently) In a post on Reddit (see below), u/LatissimusDorsi26 shared that they decided to ditch their Apple -made ear tips for cheap liquid silicone replacements they bought from Amazon (they said it cost them $5 for 4 pairs in XS, S, M, and L). They said the tips permanently solved the problem for them and their AirPods Pro 2 . Finaly fixed Airpods slipping out of my ears from r/airpods Yes, AirPods Pro come with silicone ear tips out of the box, but theyre not 'liquid silicone', which is what the author of the Reddit post believes makes the difference, detailing the replacement tips "sticky/ tacky finish on their surface which makes them stick to your ear canal".

I know what you might be thinking: won't your AirPods then be too big to fit in the charging case?. I thought that too, but according to the poster, they fit just as perfectly as they would with standard Apple earbud tips, and you wont need to remove the tips for charging.

Since sharing this, fellow AirPods owners flocked to the replies, and it's sparked a deeper conversation about silicone vs foam tips for earbuds.

Though silicone tips are pretty much the go-to for a lot of earbud brands,
and not just Apple the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 4 also have silicone tips a lot of users choose to upgrade to foam replacements from brands such as Comply. There are many reasons for this. (Image credit: Future) In short,
foam tips can provide a grip thats a lot more snug, and are arguably better for locking in audio and preserving noise cancellation. That said, foam replacements are expensive alternatives and dont have the same durability as silicone one user in the replies highlighted that Comply foam tips are the best part of $25 for three pairs, while another said that they still keep slipping out.

Thats not to say silicone tips dont have their setbacks. By standards, some versions dont fit quite as tight as foam ones, and transparent ones as shown earlier dont quite fit the clean-cut aesthetic of the AirPods themselves. But silicone wins on the durability front, and wont need frequent replacing like foam tips.

Based on this Reddit posters hack, it appears that there is a way to solve
the pain points on both sides after all. On the one hand the liquid silicone tips stick to the users ear canal, providing a secure fit, and are durable
and affordable on the other all from a mere $5 Amazon purchase. Follow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
