3. Next, pinch your fingers (not your nails) on either side of the rubber tips. Make sure to hold the ear tip from the bottom, not the edge.

Now, to take off the ear tip, pull it gently but firmly away from the AirPods base, where it is connected.

Note: Don’t pull the ear tip from its sides because that will hurt the soft silicone part. Pulling the ear tip will take some force, especially if this is the first time you’ve changed the ear tips on your AirPods Pro. But don’t worry, as long as you pull them straight from the base, it won’t hurt the ear tips.

5. Once the ear tip clicks off, pick your Apple Pro ear tips from the box. The first-generation AirPods Pro comes with three ear tips. The medium-sized tip is already connected to the AirPods, and small and large tips are in the box. The second-generation AirPods Pro comes with an ear tip that is even smaller. To find out the size, just unroll the sides and look inside the ear tip for the letters XS, S, M, or L.

How to find the Best AirPods Pro Ear Tips Size

1. Try out different ear tips

To get the best sound quality and noise cancellation from your AirPods Pro, you need to find the right ear tips. Apple’s AirPods Pro come with a variety of ear tips so you can find one that fits your ears well. You can change the AirPods Pro ear tips based on how you like the ones you have now.

If they hurt or bother your ears or put a lot of pressure on your ear canal, go down a size. Alternately, move up a size if your AirPods Pro feel too loose or too big, or if they keep falling out of your ears.

2. Use the Ear Tip Fit Test

It can be hard to figure out which AirPods Pro tips are best for you sometimes. Try the Apple Ear Tip Fit Test to get some help and make the right choice.

Note: Make sure your iPhone is running iOS 13.2 or a higher version before you start. Also, please sit somewhere quiet if you want correct answers.

1. With your AirPods Pro in your ears, go to Settings -> Bluetooth on your connected iPhone or iPad.

2. Under My Devices, find your AirPods name and tap the “i” icon in front of it.

3. Tap Ear Tip Fit Test and choose Continue.

Click “Play” to start the test. You’ll hear music for a few seconds so that the AirPods can figure out how well they fit in your ears.
If the results say “Good Seal,” the ear tip you picked is the right one for you. If you see “Adjust or Try a Different Ear Tip,” the seal isn’t good and you should try a different set of ear tips for your AirPods Pro.
Tap Done when you’re done.
