Until they give up on me and I am forced to get a shiny new pair of pro ones

I got mine yesterday.
Having not owned in ear or noise cancelling ear phones I wasnāt sure what to expect.
If Iām honest Iām not loving them, it might just be my ears though. I have normal AirPods and never had an issue.
The pro just donāt feel very comfortable in my left ear the right seems fine and I using the small tips so canāt go smaller.
Plus I think they give me a very slight dull head ache.
Technically theyāre very good and the noise cancelling works well etc
I just think for me personally they donāt quite fit, Iām going to give it a few more days and see how it goes but I may return mine.
These look like a decent upgrade for the gym, but not so much for home use on Skype calls where the regular AirPods are easy enough to chuck in the ear and still have background noise.
Is the ātip testā suggesting the small ones? Maybe a different size in each ear would help? Iāve had ārubber tipsā before and it took me a while to figure out and, weirdly, the bigger size ended up being better (which wasnāt what i thought at all).
I donāt have any comfort issues with the current AirPods too, this is the only area Iām wary of for the new ones.
Iāve never got on so well with the ābudsā rather than just a solid earphone, hence why the first gen airpods work great for me, as they were just the original apple earphones minus the wires.
Iād definitely like to try them out though
Whatās the policy on returning a product like this? Surely thereās some sort of hygiene issue?
As long as itās just the tip it doesnāt count 
(Iām sure itās usual returns with Apple directly)

It doesnāt suggest the size, it just says if the seal is good and if it isnāt it just says something like adjust the earphone or try a different tip.
Iāll try it but I think the bigger ones may be too big.

I think itās time to mute this thread before I accidentally purchase a pair.
Apple still have a no quibble returns policy right?!
Correct.

I have a pair of these arriving tomorrow.
Iāve been waiting for a sweat proof pair of AirPods for some time. Got on really really well with the original airpods but sent them back because people said they couldnāt hear me on the phone and they did lose connection on quite a few occasions which really annoyed me.
Looking forward to the new shorter stem and enhanced call quality
I blame all of you, but Waitrose now have mine waiting for pickup, once I finish work.

So I just went to the Apple store to pick mine up.
They had a test area in store - and the noise cancellation is really good. Busy store and the ANC blocked out all the background noise. Impressed
Looking forward to testing them on the tube and in noisy streets but expect good things.
Only warning though, make sure youāre on the latest iOS - 13.2
Itās either because Iām on the beta version or not the right version of 13.2 but I canāt pair with them until I update and the wifi in store isnāt doing the job well enough to update.
So check that first
That said from the 10 mins of playing in store the ANC seems good and the new controls seem a bit more reliable than the old.
After just over two years of #fullmonzo, I made my first withdrawal from my Coin Jar pot to pay for these - thanks Monzo!
Blown away by the noise cancellation on these little things. Iād say the ANC is on par with my pair of Bose QC35s (Gen 1) in every situation except the tube, where itās still plenty good enough.
Picked mine up on launch. Stunning. But hard to justify Ā£279 for earphones (with apple care)! They are really something though. The noise canceling is incredibly intelligent and so useful getting on to buses and bumping to people whilst listening to music.
