The long and short of it is the new design will fit more ears than the original AirPods. And Apple is selling its own replacement tips for just $4 (for a set of three pairs), so replacing them when they eventually get, well, gross is eminently affordable. If you're setting them up on an iOS device, in fact, the app will guide you through testing which ear tip fits you best.

Comply also makes $25 foam tips for the AirPods Pro and some cheaper foam tips are available for less than $15. That said, in the last few months, I did upgrade the tips with CharJenPro foam tips ($18) specially made for the AirPods Pro that allowed me to get an even tighter seal and an even more secure (I found that one bud started to slip out of my ear on longer runs). I was worried I'd need an extra-large tip to get a tight seal, but the AirPods Pro's large ear tips fit my ears fine. It's also worth noting that they come with small, medium and large ear tips. I can run with them - and they're sweat-proof, Apple says (they have an IPX4 water-resistance rating, which means they're splashproof but not waterproof). With the AirPods Pro, I don't have that problem. They remain a safe choice for Apple users looking for a compact, lightweight pair of true wireless earbuds that connect easily to their Apple devices and perform well - both for music and movie listening as well as making voice calls. The AirPods Pro are Apple's first headphones to offer active noise cancellation, which electronically counteracts exterior noise like the hum of a jet engine or an air conditioner, and the company's first wireless model to feature a noise-isolating design - with silicone ear tips that push into your ear canal. But not much has changed about the way I feel about these earbuds. A lot has changed in the world since then and new competitors have arrived on the scene.
