AZLA XELASTEC for Airpods Pro 1st & 2nd Gen (M/ML/L) – Airpod Pro Ear Tip Replacement – Airpod Pro Tips with Premium Silicone, Airpod Ear Tips

The quick and dirty: they are a great alternative to the stock tips from Apple. Comfort and sound is great. The tips are grippy so they stay in better than the Apple tips. Transparency mode is not as loud as the stock tips, but it is louder than the third-party foam tips. I'd recommend these tips if you're looking for something better than what Apple has.I bought these because of a recommendation from an acquaintance who had been using this brand for another set of headphones. Having loved the Comply tips for my previous Jaybird headphones, I decided to stick with the Comply tips. To say the least, I was sorely disappointed with them. Their tips would prevent the buds from charging every now and then, and the tips would also dislodge and get stuck in my ear.After looking at alternatives, I pulled the trigger on the Sedna tips on Amazon. I bought the three-pack with the various sizes so I could dial in my fit.When I got them, I paid special attention to how they attach to the buds. The plastic connector is stiffer than the Apple tips, and they definitely feel more secure than the Comply tips. I had some initial difficulty in fitting the whole collar into the bud.One unique feature of these ear tips is that each tip is actually two pieces: the adaptor base, and the ear tip. Each base is the same size, so if you want to swap a size, you don't need to take the base out with the tip; you just have to swap the tip while keeping the base attached to the bud. This will help a lot with keeping the wear and tear down on the base, although once you find your size, I can't imagine that swapping the tips would be done very often. They have half sizes available, so finding the perfect fit shouldn't be difficult as long as you order the variety pack first.The plastic silicone is a little thicker. They advertised that the plastic will adapt to the ear canal through heat-activation. I am not sure that I've noticed a difference in fit since I got them. The comfort is about the same as the Apple tips, so they're pretty comfortable. I've noticed the extra grip from the ear tips keeps the Airpods in place. The Apple tips don't provide the same friction, and I found that I'd have to push in the Airpods to seal up again when using the Apple tips.I haven't noticed a difference in sound quality between the Apple and Comply tips. I did notice that transparency mode isn't as loud as the Apple tips, probably due to the thicker silicone in the Sedna tips; I found myself having to remove one bud when conversing with someone. Seal quality is great during noise cancellation.One con is that the extra grip makes removal slightly more difficult. It's a minor issue, but I can understand that some may not like the grippy sensation when removing the Airpods.

I was skeptical about these Xelastec ear tips but they work well for me. They stay in well and longer than the stock/foam tips. I recommend it, but you have to figure out the right size for you. All sizes may fit but it will affect how they stay in and maybe sound as well. Also it’s nice that each ear tips has the base to clip on the AirPods Pro. Other companies usually give you one base and have to take off the foam to switch to a different size.With the stock AirPods Pro tips, my right pod stays in but my left pod keeps on slipping or sliding out of my ear canal. Same goes for the foam ear tips and I tried different sizes. Before I bought these tips, I bought wings for the AirPods Pro to keep them in from sliding. The issue then is they don’t fit in the case.Pros: Better size options, Grippier materialCons: Price, tips are composed of 2 parts. Plastic base and the tpe tip.1. These fit in the case even with large size. The large foam tips I had at times would not fit in the case and gets clipped or flattened by the top cover when it’s closed.2. Easier to clean the foam tips.3. Not much change in sound for me, I am not an audiophile. With Xelastec tips, I don’t have to keep pushing my left pod into my ear to keep ANC going.4. The grip stays in longer, I can use it 3/4 hours without pushing them in. But that doesn’t mean it will not loosen up. Especially if you have oily waxy ears and when you are talking. It’s less grippy in your ear if keep moving them, either the oil or wax makes it slip out.5. The fit, my ears are weird. I tested the Xelastec tips and ML works best for my left ear and MS/M for my right ear. I suggest finding the right size to minimize hearing your own body movement (i.e. breathing) and keeping a good seal. I think it’s best to test without playing music, and trying with ANC on and off.6. Comfort wise, the Xelastec are comfortable just like the stock tips. I did not find these irritating. From my experience with foam tips, sometimes my ear canal is itchy and have to take them out. Other tips feel like they create vacuum like pressure in your ear but these do not.It’s pricey but I recommend them. It use my AirPods Pro more often now and I don’t have to carry the wingtips/earhooks.Update 9/23/20: These may deformed and stay the form of your ear canal. Just need flip/invert the tips and soaked in hot water for a few mins. The flip them back to the original state and let it cool off and dry. They form back fairly close to the way they were. I’ve done this once and still they are grippy.

--UPDATE--So, I originally LOVED these tips but after having them some time, the love is only temporary. After a month or so of using them every day, they start to become permanently formed and tend to slip out of your ear. I got a replacement sent out to me from Amazon and the same thing happened. They don't fit securely any longer and even ripped. I wanted to love these, I really did but they just don't last, especially for the price. I only got maybe a month or two from each package.--ORIGINAL--I've struggled with the AirPods Pro since day one. I love these earbuds but they are constantly wiggling their way out of my ears, especially if I'm talking or laughing. It was almost to the point where I wanted to return them. I tried a bunch of different tips and none of them made things better. I had a few different versions of the foam tips and they were OK but they either became uncomfortable after a period of time or they would push out just like the OEM tips. I eventually stumbled across these and they are a lifesaver! For me, they fit perfectly and are insanely comfortable. I've only had them a couple of days but the other night when I was laying in bed binge-watching videos on my MacBook, they didn't move at all. Were just as comfortable if not more than the OEM but now they actually stay in place. The price was a bit steep compared to the 10ish dollars for the foam ones but if you struggle with keeping them in a place as I did, give these a shot. I highly recommend these.
