that’s cool, ill never buy silicon tips again tho. why is apple the only one making real ear buds?
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I’m a person with ears that do not work with silicone tips either. I love the fit of AirPods. Tried AirPods Pro, and for my ears, they suck. Doesn’t matter what size tips I use, they seal poorly and fall out constantly. Regular AirPods fit great.
Edit: grammar
Edit 2: that being said, I want to try these because I really want replaceable batteries for my earbuds. It may be moot for me though as I live in the US and currently they aren’t shipping to the US.
yah, luckily airpods 1:1 clones are like $20.
i have downvotes completely hidden so i wouldn't have noticed.
I haven’t used the clones yet, but I’ll likely go with something like that when these die.
These in-ear things never worked for me either until they started making custom hearing protection with removable filters which are compatible with most in-ear headphones. And the best thing is that you don't need active noise canceling (depending on the openness of the headphones) because the thing is made to cancel noise. Downside is that they usually amplify bass much more than regular tips so you need to use an EQ.
Btw, it's possible to get some custom in-ear headphones where everything, including the tip, is one piece of plastic, which is supposed to sound fantastic, if you're willing to spend a ridiculous amount of money.
