Through some trial and error, trying different tips and adjusting the buds, I determined that the medium ear tips were the best I could do, even though the left ear kept failing and now has self-esteem issues. The results show up under a graphical image of each earbud as either “Good Seal” or “Adjust or Try a Different Ear Tip.” I figured my ears were at least nearly identical, but my left ear failed many more times than my right ear did. The test is simple and takes just a moment. So it’s good for overall sound quality and noise cancellation. The seal enables you hear the most sound from the buds and less sound from external sources. The Ear Tip Fit Test - in Settings under Bluetooth > AirPods Pro > Ear Tip Fit Test - is there to help ensure you’ve selected the best ear tips to ensure a good seal in the ear canal. The test results consistently questioned the fit, making it seem worse. You can try the test while setting up the earbuds, or anytime.

Others hate having something in their ears and prefer earbuds that dangle. ![]() Some people love a good seal in the ear canal. But I couldn’t make them fit perfectly.īecause everyone is different, fit can be as subjective as sound preference. They have improved battery life and work with Find My. I had good things to say about every aspect of the comfortably-familiar-yet-much-improved buds. I recently wrote a mostly glowing review of AirPods Pro 2 for Cult of Mac. ![]() As for the Ear Tip Fit Test, Apple uses the internal mic to check if there’s a proper seal with the ear tips you’ve selected.AirPods Pro: Third-party ear tips can save your relationship with your new favorite earbuds Related: AirPods Pro 2 vs AirPods Pro, AirPods 2/3: How the lineup comparesĪirPods Pro ear tips securely fasten with a click, so it will take some force to remove the existing ones.Only AirPods Pro 2nd gen come with four ear tip sizes, the first gen come with small, medium, and large.
