Hey everyone,
I’m hoping to get some advice from people who have experience with multiple generations of the AirPods Pro.
I’ve owned the AirPods Pro 1 for years and they honestly fit my ears perfectly. I could wear them all day and forget they were even there. About two weeks ago, I decided to upgrade to the new AirPods Pro 3, expecting a similar experience but with better sound and ANC.
Unfortunately, I just can't get used to the new fit and shape. I feel like I've tried everything:
Large tips: Gives me a "good seal" in the fit test, but they stick out and are really uncomfortable after a short while.
Medium tips: Just awkward, doesn't feel right.
Small tips: These actually feel great and super comfortable, but they sit way too loose, meaning I lose the seal and it completely ruins the ANC and the bass.
I'm seriously considering returning them while I still can and buying the AirPods Pro 2 instead.
My questions for you guys:

  1. Is it true that the AirPods Pro 2 have the exact same shape and fit as the Pro 1? And thus would the Pro 2 fit me better?
  2. Am I missing out on a massive sound upgrade by ditching the Pro 3? Or will a perfectly fitting Pro 2 actually sound better than a poorly fitting Pro 3 due to the better seal?
    Would love to hear your thoughts!
