AirPods Pro 3 Get New Foam-Infused Ear Tips With Five Size Options

The AirPods Pro 3 have an updated design that Apple says is more ergonomic, and new ear tips that are supposed to be better at eliminating ambient sound.

Apple included new ear tips that fuse a thin layer of soft foam microspheres to a silicone shell for better passive noise isolation.

The ear tips come in five sizes, including XXS, XS, S, M, and L, The smaller XXS size wasn't available with the AirPods Pro 2.

The new foam ear tips, the wider range of size options, improved computational audio, and the design changes to make the earbuds fit more ergonomically in the ear all help to make the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ 2x better at Active Noise Cancellation than the AirPods Pro 2.

Apple is still selling the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ for $249, but there is no longer a USB-C charging cable inside, so the company is saving a bit of cash with this model. The ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ are available for pre-order and will launch on Friday, September 19.

How do we charge then?
You don’t. You’re supposed to buy new ones once the battery runs out.

I have Comply memory foam tips for my OG Apple AirPods Pro which offer a significantly better fit than the Apple silicon tips, which - for me - were rubbish and led to the AirPods falling out of my ears. The Comply tips were a bit of a revelation.

I will be very interested if these "new" tips are an improvement, or if I need to wait for Comply to offer memory foam tips for the AirPods Pro 3 - regardless, I think it is inevitable I will pick up a pair, given the advantages over my OG AirPods Pro.
