This is not a sponsored post. I don’t get paid to market this product. But it transformed my experience of using AirPods Pro so much that I want you to know about it.
Observe foam tips generally selling for about $ 20 on Amazon make my AirPods Pro 2 more comfortable, safer and better sounding. I use them literally more often because of these tips, and when I eventually get AirPods Pro 3, the first thing I want to do is hit a new set of foam tips on them.
Apple knows that people have different ears, which is why it offers more AirPods Pro Ear tip for different ear forms. But they are just hollow silicone flanges, which are not ideal for all ears. Observe (and a few other companies) really make excellent replacement tips made of memory foam. They are attached just like Apple tips – just pop from them on your AirPods Pro and click the foam tip at their place. They fit just as safely as AirPods Pro’s ear tips and do not interfere with their fit in the charging case.
The memory foam forms for the contours of your ear and are closer than the small silicone flap to form a better seal. This improves the sound quality a bit (especially on the low end) and is better at blocking more from the outside noise, which in turn makes active noise that cancels more effective.

But they are also more comfortable to wear for long periods and help the earplugs stay in place, which is a frequent problem for me – with Apple’s ear, no matter what size I choose, one or both earplugs that eventually work myself if I do something active as a yardwork or work at the gym. With the foam tips observed, they never loosen.
The tips come in sets with three pairs. For starters, buy a set where you get a small, medium and large pair. Once you have found your size, you can buy three of the same size when you need a new set. Which brings us to the disadvantage of these tips: You have to replace them after a few months of daily wear when the memory foam eventually starts to break down and wear. So it’s good that you get three pairs.
A set of $ 20 ear tips lasts for a year or so daily use. It is a small price to pay for AirPods Pro, which is safer, comfortable and sounds better. If your AirPods Pro is not quite comfortable, give them a chance – you will never use your AirPods Pro without them again.
