    It’s almost like they need something to keep them from falling onto the ground when they slip out of your ear.

    I think you need to find a different ear tip my dude. Unless I’m doing something extreme I’ve never had them just fall out. I’ve had 30+ seconds of warning that they’re slipping out of my ear before they’d fall out, but almost never just “whoops I’m free”.

      I wear beats buds ALot probably more than I should but I love listening to audio books. I would say 5+ hours a day in listening with one ear or the other. For probably the past several years.

      If my dog didn’t eat the one bud i would probably still be on my original pair from 4 years ago. Even with sweaty ears during a workout I have a good 5+ seconds heads up that is coming out. But that’s extreme, for normal use I would agree that 20+ seconds when it’s coming loose for one reason or another.

      All that to say, I agree op needs to find better tips. They ship with several sets for a reason

      To be fair, the regular (non-Pro) AirPods don’t come with silicone tips, right? I’ve seen various reviewers say they do fall out easily.
