I actually dislike the rubber tips. The original AirPods fit my ear so well that I can shake my head without them coming loose, and comfortable to the point that I literally forget they’re there.

If they had better battery life, they’d be the perfect easy headphone.

I'm sure they work for some ears but you have to admit that Apple itself has categorized rubber tips as a premium feature even though much cheaper competitors have had that design.

I was in the same boat as you, normal Airpods stayed in my ear while running but the Pro Airpods kept falling off. I then found some third party foam tips on Amazon and that made the Pros feel invisible like normal Airpods.

Do you mind linking those third party eartips? I am in the same boat as you, original airpods fit me like molded, I could jump and run with not even a hint of earbuds moving inside the ear. While airpods pro tend to wiggle and not stay fully in.
