How to Change AirPods Pro Tips: A Step-by-Step Guide

Choosing the Right Size Tips

When changing the tips on your AirPods Pro, it is important to select the right size to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. The AirPods Pro come with three sizes of tips: small, medium, and large.

To determine the best size for you, start by trying on the medium-sized tips that come pre-installed on the AirPods. Put them in your ears and see how they feel. If they fit comfortably and securely, you’re good to go.

However, if the medium-sized tips are too loose or too tight, try the other sizes until you find the right fit. You want the tips to create a seal in your ear canal, but not feel uncomfortable or cause pain.

It’s worth noting that the fit of your AirPods Pro may vary between your left and right ear. Don’t be afraid to mix and match tip sizes to find the perfect fit for each ear.

Once you’ve found the right size tips, you’ll be able to enjoy the full benefits of your AirPods Pro, including excellent noise cancellation and high-quality sound.

Removing Old Tips

Before you can install new tips on your AirPods Pro, you’ll need to remove the old ones. Here’s how:

1. Hold the stem of your AirPods Pro firmly between your fingers.
2. With your other hand, gently twist the tip counter-clockwise until it loosens.
3. Pull the tip straight off the AirPods Pro stem.

If the tip doesn’t come off easily, you can use a gentle twisting and pulling motion to remove it. Be careful not to pull too hard, as this could damage the AirPods Pro or the tip itself.

Once you’ve removed the old tip, take a moment to inspect it for any signs of wear or damage. If the tip looks worn or stretched out, it’s time to replace it with a new one.

Installing New Tips

Now that you’ve removed the old tips from your AirPods Pro, it’s time to install the new ones. Here’s how:

1. Choose the right size tips for your ears (see subtitle 2 for help with this).
2. Hold the stem of your AirPods Pro firmly between your fingers.
3. With your other hand, gently push the new tip onto the stem. Make sure it’s on straight and fully seated.
4. Twist the tip clockwise until it’s secure.

Repeat these steps for the other AirPods Pro earbud, making sure to use the correct size tips for each ear.

It’s important to ensure that the tips are properly seated on the AirPods Pro stem to prevent them from falling off or causing discomfort. If you’re having trouble getting the tips to stay in place, double-check that you’ve chosen the right size and that they are fully twisted into place.

Once the new tips are installed, you’re ready to use your AirPods Pro again!

Ensuring a Proper Fit for Optimal Sound Quality

Changing the tips on your AirPods Pro can have a big impact on the sound quality and noise cancellation capabilities. Here are some tips to ensure a proper fit and get the best performance out of your AirPods Pro:

1. Choose the right size tips for your ears. A proper fit will create a seal in your ear canal, which is essential for effective noise cancellation and optimal sound quality.

2. Insert the AirPods Pro into your ears with the stem pointing downwards. Twist the AirPods Pro slightly to ensure a snug fit.

3. Adjust the ear tips if necessary. If the AirPods Pro feel too loose or too tight, try switching to a different size tip or adjusting the fit by twisting the AirPods Pro slightly.

4. Test the fit by playing music and testing the noise cancellation. If you can hear background noise or the AirPods Pro feel uncomfortable, adjust the fit until you find the perfect fit.

5. Consider using the Ear Tip Fit Test in the AirPods Pro settings to ensure a proper fit. This test uses advanced algorithms to check the fit of the ear tips and make recommendations for the best size.

By following these tips, you can ensure a proper fit for your AirPods Pro and enjoy optimal sound quality and noise cancellation.

Replacing Tips Regularly

While the tips on your AirPods Pro are designed to last for a long time, it’s important to replace them regularly to ensure optimal performance. Here are some signs that it’s time to replace the tips:

1. The tips are visibly worn or damaged. Over time, the tips may become stretched out or torn, which can affect their ability to create a seal in your ear canal.

2. The tips are discolored or dirty. The tips can become discolored or dirty from daily use, which can impact their ability to maintain a proper seal.

3. You’re experiencing discomfort or pain. If the tips are causing discomfort or pain, it’s a sign that they may not be the right size or are no longer providing a proper seal.

4. You’re not getting the best sound quality or noise cancellation. If you’re not getting the full benefits of your AirPods Pro, such as excellent noise cancellation or high-quality sound, it may be time to replace the tips.

To maintain optimal performance, it’s recommended to replace the tips on your AirPods Pro every six months to a year. This will ensure that you’re getting the best possible experience and the longest possible lifespan from your AirPods Pro.
