Do foam eartips fit in the AirPods Pro 3 charging case?

foamigo's foam eartips for the AirPods Pro 3 are shaped so your earbuds still fit in the charging case. Most other foam eartips are too bulky for it, so check this before you buy any brand.

Why do my AirPods Pro 3 fall out even with the right size eartip?

Silicone springs back to its own shape instead of adapting to yours. Every time your ear canal moves, from walking, chewing or talking, the seal breaks a little and the earbud works itself loose. That's a material problem, not a size problem.

Does the Ear Tip Fit Test in iOS actually work?

It's a good starting point: it measures sound leakage, not comfort or grip. Pass the test first, and if your AirPods still fall out or start to ache, the eartip material is the problem rather than the size.

Why don't manufacturers include foam ear tips in the box?

Because silicone lasts practically forever. A silicone ear tip can be used for 5 to 10 years, so manufacturers can bundle it once and forget about it. Memory foam adapts to your ear but wears out: with intensive daily use a set typically needs replacing after about three months, when the foam stops sealing properly. That is why foam ear tips are an upgrade you choose rather than a default in the box.

AirPods Pro 3 keep falling out? Here's how to fix it

Your AirPods Pro 3 sound great, right up until one works itself loose on a walk or ends up on the gym floor. Annoying, and very common: the fit is the one thing Apple didn't fix. We make eartips for a living, so we've heard every version of this problem. Here's what actually helps, starting with the fixes that cost nothing.

Why AirPods Pro 3 fall out of your ears

The AirPods Pro have an unusual oval opening, and the silicone tips that come in the box are smooth and springy. Silicone pushes back to its own shape instead of adapting to yours. Since no two ear canals are the same shape (your left and right aren't even identical), the eartip only touches your ear in a few spots. Every step, chew or smile moves your ear canal, the seal breaks a little, and the earbud starts its slow escape.

Silicone: gaps leak sound, ear tip slips

Memory foam: expands, seals, stays

That gap does double damage: the earbud slips, and your music leaks out while noise leaks in. If you keep turning up the volume in busy places, this is why.

Try these fixes first (they're free)

Run the Ear Tip Fit Test. Settings, Bluetooth, tap your AirPods, "Ear Tip Fit Test". It measures leakage and catches obvious size mistakes.
Size up, not down. Counterintuitive, but a slightly bigger eartip presses on more of your ear canal and grips better. Many people wear eartips that are too small.
Use the twist-lock. Insert the earbud, then rotate it slightly backwards and up. It wedges the eartip behind the little ridge of your ear canal.
Clean the eartips. Skin oils make silicone slippery. Wipe eartips weekly with a slightly damp cloth and let them dry.
Mix sizes. A small in one ear and a medium in the other is completely normal.

Still slipping? Switch to foam eartips

If the free fixes aren't enough, the material is the problem, and that has a direct fix: memory foam. You squeeze it, it expands slowly inside your ear and fills your canal's exact shape, gaps and all. More contact surface means more grip, a better seal, fuller bass and less noise from outside.

One AirPods-specific catch: because of that oval opening, generic foam eartips don't fit AirPods Pro. We developed a foam eartip specifically for the AirPods Pro 3, with the oval connector and a shape that still fits the charging case.

Running or working out with AirPods Pro 3

Sport is the endgame for slippery earbuds: sweat makes silicone even more slippery, and impact shakes loose whatever was barely holding. Two things help. Dry your ears before you start, and use an eartip material that grips when damp. Foam absorbs that little bit of moisture at the surface and keeps its hold, which is why runners were the first to switch en masse.
