In 2020, I remember looking in vain for AirPods Pro foam tips. Some of these headphones do not sit well in the ears and fall out, although the first and second generation sat normally. I personally know three people who were never able to transfer from the usual “shove” to the firmware solely because of landing problems.

In 2022, this issue has been resolved. Anyone can order foam tips for their Pro right now. But I had serious doubts that it is. Is it really possible to change the nozzles to such a rare one to fix a rare, but critical problem of “bugs”?

So I ordered a set of foam tips for AirPods Pro, got infected on people with Apple’s “problematic earbud dropout” – and I share a summary of the findings.

What kind of foam nozzles are these?

Foam tips (or “foam ear pads”) are something special that has come into the mass of the hearing aid and professional audio equipment industry. Here’s what they need from ordinary silicone headphones, regardless of headphone models:

▪ adapt to the shape and orientation of the ear canal
▪ sit comfortably in the ears, do not press from the inside
▪ better to visit on the go
▪ give a secure fit
▪ heat up
▪ hypoallergenic

The disadvantages of foam nozzles are also significant. For example, these instantly get dirty and poorly washed. They are absolutely incompatible with water: it is worth washing them a couple of times, and the foam may begin to disintegrate, after which the nozzle must be thrown away. They are easy break. And they do not immediately return to their original shape, which can interfere with passive and especially active noise reduction in the first five minutes after being inserted into the ears.

For a very long time, it was impossible to find foam nozzles for AirPods Pro. This is due to the specific design of the earphones and attachments for attachments, which are different from other models on the market. But the Chinese eventually got it right.

What are the impressions of the foam nozzles for AirPods Pro

I bought a set of gray foam tips for 305 rubles on AliExpress. There are also black ones, but with white AirPods they look bad. In addition to the plus of black foam, sulfur and dirt do not appear so much.

The order was expected for about three weeks, it arrived ahead of schedule. They are packed freshly, in a simple bag. During transportation, manufacturing is possible, but I was lucky.

I did not regret that I ordered three sizes at once. I advise you to do the same. If the “medium” silicone tips from the AirPods kit are suitable for you, this does not mean at all that the “medium” foam ones are also needed.

Nozzles are put on the headphones with a noticeable gain. It is necessary to press not on the foam, but on the “sleeve”, which is in the middle. They are super strong and won’t fall off. I advise you to shoot, clutching the feelings of the ear cushion at the base. Otherwise, you can break.

Landing improved? Definitely yes. On any AirPods, it sits normally in the ears, even AirPods 3. But with maximum landings, it got even better. I specially gave headphones with foam nozzles, which could not use the “pros” due to special fallout. Obama said that it has become much more comfortable. One after that was completely imbued, even decided to order the same ones and buy AirPods Pro again.

Shumodav got older? Absolutely not. As for me, the noise reduction, on the contrary, is now stronger. So much so that sometimes I want to turn it off. No examinations come to the “Transparency” mode. The built-in fit check in iOS also confirmed the snug fit.

Has the sound changed? Yes a little. It seems to me that there is a little more middle and bass, and treble – less. I can’t say if this is good or bad. But if I had proshki, then for a radial landing, I would not even pay attention to such trifles.

After all, I now wear my AirPods Pro only with foam nozzles. I noticed that in the ears they are corny more pleasant “lie”. It turned out that the noise reduction was also at the box office: now, after switching to the “green” metro line (one of the noisiest in Moscow), you don’t need to turn up the volume of the music a little.

A set of nozzles with foam will cost only 305 rubles. It’s cheaper than a set of original Pro plugs. I hope that in the next generation of AirPods, Apple will put foam nozzles in the headphones, at least as an option.
