I’ve had AirPods for a little over a month now and they have never fallen out of my ears - they are sturdy enough where it’s not even a concern. And thinking about it, why would AirPods fall out of your ears any more than wired Apple earbuds.

The technology is really seamless - my only gripe with the product is battery life. You can’t listen and charge at the same time, and I’ve never gotten all day batter life. It makes it hard to use as a daily driver - I have my AirPods for most situations and then a set of headphones for work on the laptop

FWIW I find Apple earbuds to be uncomfortable, and they do fall out of my ears pretty quickly. I guess it really depends on your ears.

i don't have airpods, but i've heard it mentioned that the weight of the wire holds the wired style earpods down in the cradle of your ear more so than airpods.

On the contrary, the wires seemed to pull them out more than anything else. AirPods stay in my ears way better, with no discomfort.

That's my experience from running with regular earbuds. Have to find a way to hold my phone just so to keep the cord from jostling them out. I've also tried a phone arm-strap but couldn't work out a place that worked for the headphones cable.

Don't have airpods, but I've heard nothing but great reviews so I'm thinking about it. Wish they didn't cost so much.
