> MKBHD

For those like me who weren’t familiar with the moniker, it refers to Marques Keith Brownlee, a YouTuber who reviews technology devices.

In his review of AirPods Pro 3 he says they now stay on better.

EarPods/AirPods designs assume that you have certain genetic feature on ears called antitragus that hugs the stem with two opposing wings. I looked mine in the mirrors and one of the wings is basically missing altogether, making it not "anti"-ing. Tim Cook visibly has a pair of bulbous ones.

I kind of have different ethnic background than MKBHD, so, it kind of makes me wonder how that design got the shape it got and how it stayed that way.

If you struggle, there are two escalations you can try:

1. Foam eartips ($10-$20) might be sufficient.

2. Custom fit silicone tips ($150-$250). These will work, for basically any ear. But ....... you gotta really want it.
