AirPod in ear fit?

[James Falconer]

One of the biggest questions I have about the AirPods is how they actually fit in the ear. I've always disliked hard tipped earbuds because they refuse to stay in my ear.

Anyone with a pair have any insight into this? What are the fit options, and do they fit snug in your ear?

Ask Rene

guess only a lucky few have a pair since the official release keeps being postponed.

 

[James Falconer]

lol yeah.

I suspect many of you will have feedback on this soon too

 

[Jeroen7]

I just saw the news about the release

I can't use any ear buds. My ears are funny and they always fall out and I've tried many types even the moldable ones

Funny you posted this... When the AirPods were announced, I took a pair of EarPods and cut the cords off of them to see if I would like the way they fit. It didn't bother me a lot and I found without the cable then didn't pull down on my ears as much

 

[James Falconer]

Never thought of that. Suppose it would feel lighter on the ear. Might have to head down to the store to check out a pair. Still really curious if they'll actually stay in my ears!

Just bought them and I have to say they fit better in my ear than the EarPods, but that could be just my imagination.

But once they're in you're ear, they stay in your ear.
I had to run multiple times to catch my bus and train on my way to work and didn't have once to worry about them falling out of my ears.
Apple really delivered an amazing product here.

Same here... The corded version would pull out of my ears, but the AirPods stay in place and are comfortable.

Well that's great to hear. Any other quirks, bugs, or features you've encountered that are either horrible or amazing!?

So far James I'm very happy with them, sound is crisp and very comfortable, I love them

Not that I can think of, other than missing a gesture for volume up or down, but I have my phone in my hand most of the time anyway, or I can use my Watch for that purpose.

All in all, I'm glad I bought them.

They fit better than the EarPods for sure. Nice and snug. I think the right one might hurt my ear after a while but we'll see tomorrow at work

 

[mpshah]

They fit way better than the EarPods for me. I couldn't stand the EarPods but these are awesome.

Happy camper

Only one... I find that I put them in my ears and then I forget that they are there and I end up wearing them all day long

Seriously though, Apple hit these out of the park. I have tried a ton of BT headphones, too many to list and the AirPods are by far the most convenient and best working headphones I have ever used. The speed of connecting to my phone, the ability to wear them mono or stereo, the quality of the mics (I took a 2 hour conference call this morning on them and was told I sounded better than I ever have on this call), the way it announces the caller and lets you answer with a quick double tap. The only thing missing is a way to adjust volume from the ear buds. I set the now playing app on my Watch to the dock and that is what I am using to adjust volume, but it would be nice if there was a sensor on the stem of the AirPods that could adjust volume.

It's hurting me by telling how great they are. I want to hear how bad they are. I am so green inside ehhhhh!

So I guess I should not show you this . If you have the Watch then this shows up in the battery tab on the watch. Integration at its finest

This is really cool!! Does this show up under the battery widget?

 

[radklin]

I guess I will have to dream of it.

I've had the pleasure of using them for the past 4 days and have to say they endure pretty well under different circumstances out of house.
Walking with a slow or fast pace, briefly running, fast running, going in and out of public transport, they didn't come off once.

And this is why I love Apple. They give you the feeling you're using technology from the future.
