AirPods Pro - Hackdot

Re:AirPods Pro by vowelless on Monday October 28, 2019 @12:16PM (#21378271)

I started getting severe ear issues with my normal AirPods. Due to a lack of cushioning, my ear canals started getting damaged. It got very painful eventually (swimmers ear levels of pain).

I stopped using them and went back to my Bose in ear headphones (that never gave me problems).

These new AirPods seem to have cushioning. I might consider them.

The new shape of these makes me not want them. I seem to have the exact same ears as whoever Apple has modeled their earbuds for and they're super comfortable.

Every other in-ear headphone I've tried has been super painful and falls out at the slightest bump.

I'm in the exact same boat. The AirPods just fit perfectly like no other pair before but for most of my friends it's the opposite.

I'm intrigued how the AirPods Pro will fit. We will see I guess.

What gives me hope is that they might have used the exact same ear model to build these new ones, so maybe this will be the first pair of rubber earphones I will ever like?

Might be my middle eastern ear shape...

Which Bose headphones do you use that don't give you trouble? It looks like the most similar pair would be the SoundSport Free?

You’re right. I use:

“Bose SoundSport Wireless Headphones”
