Is the Fit of AirPods 4 Really an Improvement?

Question

Are the AirPods 4 new design models, a lot of improvements have been made on the physical aspect to enhance the fitting of these wireless earbuds?

Answer 1

When tested on an ear and head model which is an average of the ear canals of 40 people, the AirPods 4 have been found to have a better fit than Airpods 3. Faced with various opinions from users, the fit cannot be deemed precise, as some users had a rather uncomfortable fitting while some found them rather secure and comfortable. For this reason, it is advisable for users to try them out and see if they fit properly in their ears.

This design is perfect for me. The tips on the pros kept falling out of my ears no matter what size I used, it was frustrating. I was so relieved when I got these and they remained in my ear without any slipping out

4’s w/ANC, fit my ears beautifully.

Had the AirPod 1 gen then went to the pros gen 1 will I like the 4s ear feel if I liked the AirPod gen 1s?

Does anyone that has the AirPods 3 and are completely satisfied with them? I purchased mine in 2023 and the fit is so perfect for me that I sometimes look for them and they’re actually in my ears, LOL. Everyone I talk to says my call quality is great. As far as music goes they sound better than my Apple Beats Studio 3’s with ANC.

I’m an AirPods Pro fan. However, the AirPods 4 fit my ears better. The ones with the silicone tips loosen up and even fall out of my ears on occasion. The AirPods 4 stay in with no problem. The ANC is acceptable, but not as good as the Pros. In short, I am impressed with my new AirPod 4 earbuds and they may replace my Pros.

These don't fit my left ear so I have an aftermarket hook for my left earbud.. The right earbud is perfect and flush.  No biggie!

is the fit on the new Airpods more similar to the 2nd gen or 3rd gen? I have bought two pairs of the second-gen because the third gens feel too big on my ears

Yep, the fit is by far the most controversial thing in this hideous earphones. I have the three and oh boy! how much I hated them, starting for how (didn't) fit at all, my ear were sore like for 6 or so weeks, and then the audio quality was nasty, and worse with the spatial audio, just destroying music, always had that thing off, the only good thing could say was the battery life, but was nearly impossible to had them on my ears more than 30min without hurt. Tried to return them, but Walmart Mexico have this idiotic policy were you can return Apple devices only if there are no open, so had to kept them...really tried to like them, but are just awful every possible way.

i can't understand people finding silicone ear tips annoying .. i mean it's even worse not having any eartip and having all plastic it's much more uncomfortable with the airpods 4 .. you gonna hear the plastic after a while
