? Fit and Comfort
There’s no question whatsoever that Apple’s AirPods aren’t ideally suited for everyone’s ears. Some people have great experiences, while others like me, despite really wanting to like the AirPods, just can’t get past needing to push them back into my ears every 30 seconds, especially when I’m walking or running. For my cavernous ears, the AirPods just don’t seal well enough, producing weak and anemic sound.
While there are accessories that can be added to AirPods to improve fit, these have always felt kludgy to us, and since they have to be removed before putting the AirPods back in the charging case, almost entirely eliminate the seamless elegance of using AirPods.
For users in this category, Powerbeats Pro are going to be a huge win. Apple is including four sizes of eartips, and of course there’s also an adjustable earhook. There’s no doubt that they will fit just about everybody, so if you’ve found that AirPods just don’t quite do it, the step up to Powerbeats Pro will finally let you get all of the advantages of Apple’s H1 chip and design in a pair of true wireless earbuds.
