My bluetooth earphones finally gave up the ghost (at least one side did), so I needed a new option for something to provide music while working out. Working out and running is incredibly boring, and if I don't have something to listen to, I can barely do it. That being said, a good mix or the right song played at the right time can take my workout to a whole other level. Hence, if I was going to keep working out, I needed a replacement.
I opted to go with AirPods Pro, as I'm developing into an Apple fanboy. I've got the HomePod, Apple TV, Apple Watch, iPhone, and about 4 iPods. I think the only thing I have missing is the Mac (and I used to have one of those, back in the late 80's).
I love the sound quality of the AirPods, but struggled mightily in keeping them in my ears when I run. I have a terrible heel strike which is quite jarring to everything - especially the earphones in my ears.
I tried the regular size tip covers - no go. Went larger, and the situation got worse. I found hints online that suggested turning them in your ears - better but still not a solution. I tried foam covers - nada.
I was about to the point of returning them when I replaced the tips with the smallest size they sent. Perfect! They were small enough to fit deep into my ear canal and stayed in as snug as a bug. Counter intuitive, but effective.
Having trouble with your AirPods fit? Try going small. It just might work.
