    It’s almost like they need something to keep them from falling onto the ground when they slip out of your ear.

    I think you need to find a different ear tip my dude. Unless I’m doing something extreme I’ve never had them just fall out. I’ve had 30+ seconds of warning that they’re slipping out of my ear before they’d fall out, but almost never just “whoops I’m free”.

      To be fair, the regular (non-Pro) AirPods don’t come with silicone tips, right? I’ve seen various reviewers say they do fall out easily.

      I wear beats buds ALot probably more than I should but I love listening to audio books. I would say 5+ hours a day in listening with one ear or the other. For probably the past several years.

      Of my dog didn’t eat the one bud if probably still be on my original pair from 4 years ago. Even with sweaty ears during a workout I have a good 5+ seconds heads up that is coming out. But that’s extreme, for normal use I would agree that 20+ seconds when it’s coming loose for one reason or another.

      All that to say, I agree op needs to find better tips. They ship with several sets for a reason
