I'm a runner also and really wanted to like the APP but it's a compromise compared to the Powerbeats.
Price has been upped again now! $20.95. Damn..
Wheres the love for us EU folks, no shipping to UK? I've mailed the seller but wish I did that a week back. I see he has some feedback for the product which is positive but these have turned into an expensive purchase especially with shipping from the US.

Damn is right I paid $10.95 for them. He's sold 102 in the last 24 hours, he's making some good money but I would hate to have to ship all that out!
They weren't when I bought them at $10.95, but I agree they are over priced at $21.95.
Feedback is starting to come in on them and so far it's all good so what makes them not a "real" third party?

Comply Smart Core Sport Pro mounted on hose glued to cut off small earpieces. They are very tight in the case but will charge with lid open. If someone doesnt come up with a solution to allow charging with lid closed, I may consider cutting the center of the case; https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/AirPods+Pro+Teardown/127551

In the genuine tips - is it a screen that air and water can pass through, or it is a membrane that air and water can't pass through? It looks like a screen, but I'm not sure.
I just got mine today and on first impressions it’s a very noticeable improvement than the silicon tips. Noise cancellation is definitely improved. Although I’m having trouble closing the case even with just the medium tips. Going to try the small tips later and see if they fit alright.
I don’t love the earwax that gets on them but I’ll give it a while.

Just received mine from eBay and paid $20.95. Totally not worth it. I was trying to switch out the foam tips to see which ones gave me a more comfortable seal and this happened. I followed the YouTube instructions per the seller and they chipped away. Super cheap.

That sux. I thought they looked pretty shabby when the seller first listed them @ $10.00. Get a refund ASAP. I have a feeling there will be a lot asking for one.
Mine arrived yesterday. One of the three stems was chipped, but the seller is sending me a new one. The two working stems seem a bit fragile, but they work well with the pros and the memory foam tips stay in my ear so much better.
I also ordered the same memory foam tips in black - hopefully they hide the inevitable discoloration from daily use.
The medium tips fit fine in the case - a little snug but manageable.
ear fit test sometimes fails, but haven’t noticed any real world issues. Typing this from a plane, and the noise cancellation is about the same.
while these will get dirtier faster, they are a much better solution than the stock rubber tips that always managed to slip out of my ear. Will update if my first impressions change.

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like the only benefit of these is if you have trouble keeping them in your ears.
I got mine over the weekend. I removed the large Apple tips, then put on the adapters from this company. I then mounted the memory foam tips on. The adapters snapped on, just like apples, and getting the memory foam tips on was easy enough. I am using the large tips, to get the case to close, I stick my finger between the tips to create a gap, then close the lit.
I did not have problems keeping the Apple large tips in my ears. There is a BIG improvement in how it fits, and the passive noise canceling. I am impressed. This is a stopgap for me until Comply comes out with their version.
I will have to check out black, I didn't realize they existed.

Sounds like they function ok but super cheaply made. I'm guessing some random memory foam tips the guy bought in China and he is 3d printing the plastic section. Guys making a killing off this, great idea from him but I won't be paying $20. They must cost him about $1 to make if that.
I am very happy with mine. It is worth it to me, the fit is WAY better than the Apple silicone tips for me, and Apple's fit me.
I used mine all day at work yesterday, they didn't move at all. With the Apple tips, I would have to adjust maybe once or twice.
I ordered extra tips from this ebay seller (in black). I'm very happy with this product.
So, I am assuming everyone that is pleased is OK with the tips not fitting well in the case? I have found with both the medium and large tips the case is slightly ajar. I worry about the case then opening fully when in transit.
