Hey. I’m deciding between the AirPods Pro and AirPods 3rd Gen. which have a better in ear fit without falling out? Thanks

Do not listen to anyone about fit. My Airpods 3 fall out of my ears instantly but they might be perfect for you. Basically useless info from me on actual fit for you, BUT the only takeaway here is you need to try them on yourself :)

You have to try. AirPods Pro never worked for me regardless of tip size or material. AirPods 3 are nearly perfect for my ears.

Pros never worked for me, AirPods 2 right ear only, haven’t tried the new ones yet. Have doubts.

Did the pods 2 fall out too? I can only wear them in right ear Lol

If you were going to guess and check, I’d start with the pros. If the tips work for you, they anchor them pretty well in your ears. Obviously, doesn’t work for everyone.

It is very subjective, as our ears are all different, so the best way is probably trying different ones to find out. I am personally fine with AP1-3, but do not like APP, as they create extra pressure in the ear canal, but many others can enjoy them.

Yes the AirPods 1 fell out as well as the AirPods 3. I used ear hooks with the AirPods 1 and they were perfect, except you had to carry them with you so a little annoying.
Waiting for someone to make Silicone Ear Hooks to suit the AirPods 3 so I can start using them. I have the AirPods 3 sitting on my desk doing nothing but resting :)
