How to place the Airpods so they don’t fall out

When the AirPods were launched on the market, many users who had not yet even seen, much less tried Apple’s wireless headphones, threw their hands in their heads because it was almost impossible for them to be properly attached to their ears and therefore it would be inevitable. that they fall However, time has proved the American company right, having made a very good device that fits very well to each ear. Still there are ways to adjust them better and that not only do they not fall, but that they sound like a thousand wonders. We will talk mostly about the AirPods but we can also talk a bit about the Pro model, which is a bit different thanks to its pads.

How to fit AirPods properly

Bearing in mind that AirPods are headphones that are now well known by now, we have to bear in mind that there are people who are still reluctant to buy them, thinking that it is very difficult for them to hold on to their ears. With the aesthetic changes that have taken place, there are even people who do not dare to take the step of buying the new model just in case they do not fit as well as the original AirPods. But there is nothing to fear. We are going to give a series of tips and gadgets so that they look great.

Before anything. Although it seems that it does not influence, yes it is very important to determine why the headphones fall out or what we feel when we put them on. Noticing that we can fall while doing sports is not the same as being quietly on the sofa enjoying good music or when we talk to someone on the phone while we walk or go about our normal lives.

There are people who immediately put on the AirPods they fit perfectly. However, in other users, that does not happen and the danger of falling is real. We do not want to lose them, so there is an action that always works very well. Once we put them on straight, what needs to be done is press a little inward and turn the cane or stick (whatever you want to call it) forward about 30º degrees. That as a general rule, because I have seen people who take it very far forward. That will then depend on the comfort you are looking for, a better fit or because you want to make sure that even if you only need them to talk, you want them not to move an iota from their place.

Of course, once you have them adjusted in the way I just commented, keep in mind that from there it is difficult for them to move regardless of the activity you are doing. Now I can tell you one thing from my own experience. The AirPods when you practice a little intense sport, such as jumping rope or doing a little sparring (boxing or martial arts) it is easy for them to move little by little and in the end you have to be adjusting them. That’s because of the sweat. As you sweat a little, it makes the hold of the AirPod in the ear become weaker until it moves a few millimeters, the necessary ones to notice that they can fall.

How to adjust the AirPods Pro well

AirPods Pro are a bit different. In this model and as you already know, we have pads that help a more precise adjustment. This is so due to the noise cancellation function in these models and that the originals do not have (although we are already on the third version). That’s why it’s a little easier to have help getting these earbuds to sit snugly in your ears.

We start by doing the same thing we did with the original model. We put it on the ears, press a little and turn forward so that they are well placed. At that time we must check if it is true that the adjustment is necessary. For that we can check how it fits us with that type of pad that we have used. See the sensations that it transmits to us. Try the ones they bring that are in two other sizes. Some a little smaller and some bigger. We will see with which we are safer and above all we will see with which of them the adjustment is better.

Please note that we can use the function of the iPhone to know if the ear tips fit well. For this we just have to go to Settings>>Bluetooth>>AirPods Pro and hit the blue i>>Eartip Fit Test. With this the iPhone will play music and determine if they are well adjusted. If it tells you that they are not, try turning the headset forward and pressing a little more. You should feel a little pressure but not that they hurt you. That should be enough and now it will tell you that you have it well adjusted.

You shouldn’t have a problem with that. to use them in almost any activity, I say almost because surely there is always one in which the headphones fall out, but the AirPods and any others.

Accessories that help hold AirPods better

If we still haven’t gotten the AirPods to stay attached as we’d like and we’re a little afraid of losing them with normal use, we have on the market some series of accessories that can help to achieve that adjustment. Although it is true that there are even users who are looking for a homemade way to make them fit. For example, I remember the user who could not find a way to keep the original AirPods attached to the ears and what he did was use waterproof tape and place it at strategic points on the headphones. With that, he effectively made them no longer move and the fit was perfect.

As for the accessories, we can find many and varied, although they all follow the same pattern. Turn wireless into wired. The truth is that I don’t know if it’s worth having to use this solution. Maybe for certain actions yes. For example, to play sports. Let’s see some of those accessories:

• We started with the idea that the user of the forum had but in a professional plan. They are nothing more than covers for the AirPods themselves, only for the part that goes into the ears. You will see that the silicone it has makes it fit better and take up more space in the ear, so if your problem is that they are too small, with this accessory you will be able to solve the problem. For the price they have, it is not a bad idea to try them. You have them for 10 euros. They come in two colors handy if you want to put color on those AirPods.

• The EarHooks. The ear hooks. Earhoox – EarPods &… As you can see in the image it is an accessory that attach the headphones to your ear like a hook. It can be an ideal solution for when you want greater security. In addition, the best of AirPods is still preserved. They are still wireless.

We can find other models like for example this EarHook 2.0 it is For AirPods Pro

• There are also slightly more discreet solutions. Like for example this one that proposes us to use a hook that does not fit the ear on the outside. It fits with a hook but inside. That is, it attaches to the Antihelix. We have it at a fairly moderate price. For about 15 euros we secure the AirPods to our ears and we also do it in a discreet way. If you want them you can find them at this link and they are valid for the Pro and the original

• Finally in the field of accessories We bring you this solution that turns AirPods into EarPods. It is a solution that I personally like the least, since it turns wireless into something wired. We are past that time and we should focus on other solutions, but it is true that for people who want it, it comes in handy. I will not be the person who says that this solution should not be used, it is surely the most versatile because it would be valid for almost any scenario and we would always have the AirPods in a safe place.

Here we bring you the solution with cable. At a very irresistible price. Only 11 euros and we make sure not to lose a device of 149 euros.

This model is a bit more modern because of the magnetized system that it brings and you have them in many colors.

I suppose that if you are looking for any of these solutions, it is because you have tried to put on the AirPods, regardless of the model they are, except the Max, of course, and there has been no way to adjust so that they do not fall out. Keep in mind that not all ears are the same and we may have to assume something that you may not want said. AirPods may not be for you. But I already tell you that there are alternative solutions and even some with cable, although the grace of wearing wireless headphones is lost. But at least you can enjoy that gift that they have given you or that you have given to yourself. Do not decay and imagination to power.

We hope you have been useful and that with these solutions you do not drop your AirPods again.
