Just purchased these because I needed to check them out but are there any tips to keep these in your ears? I have never had the best luck with Apple's generic buds, without the chord these seem better but still feel like they could fall out at any time.

I don't know of a special way to put them in your ears to keep them in. I put mine in and they just stick, which is perfect for me but I think it depends on your ears.

Many bought these from Amazon for the EarPods, helps a lot. Should be the same unless the Airpods are shaped differently or are bigger.

You will probably lose functionality though since they would cover the Airpods and thus you cannot stop music or summon Siri. Just a thought, someone commented about that to me though prior to getting their Airpods.

Siri and play/pause tap wouldn't be the problem with these, the proximity sensors would be blocked though.

They also won't fit in the fancy battery pack case with the pod sleeves on. This is why I didn't buy a pair, as the EarPods don't stay in my ears at all without foam covers or pod sleeves/wingtips.

I'm interested in the xBeats though.
