Try the supplied ear-tip sizes one at a time, judging each ear separately. The right fit should feel secure without uncomfortable pressure; then wear the earbuds while moving normally to check that they stay put. An app-based fit test can help on supported models, but it cannot replace your own comfort and stability check.
What a good earbud fit should feel like
A well-fitting in-ear earbud feels snug and secure without pressing too hard. A tip that is too small may feel loose or fall out when you move your head; one that is too large may feel compressed or uncomfortable. These are useful clues for choosing a different size, not a reason to tolerate pain or persistent pressure. Apple’s AirPods Pro fit guidance describes these signs for its own product line.

Fit can differ between ears. Test the left and right sides independently rather than assuming they need matching tips. Sony also advises accounting for differences between ears when choosing a fit for its earbuds (Sony fit guidance).

How to find the right size and check the fit
- Confirm the tip is compatible and attached correctly. Follow the instructions for your exact earbud model. Replacement tips are not universally interchangeable, so check the model and generation before buying. Apple provides model-specific AirPods Pro tip instructions.
- Start with an included size and insert the earbud as directed. Insertion and orientation vary by design. For the Sony earbuds covered in its guidance, the steps include inserting the earbud and gently rotating it to help secure the fit (Sony fit guidance; Sony guidance for keeping earbuds from falling out). Do not assume that technique applies to every brand or model.
- Adjust size based on what you feel. If the earbud slips, feels loose, or does not seem to seal evenly, try another supplied size. If it creates uncomfortable pressure or feels compressed, try a smaller size. Sony also recommends trying a different tip size when its earbuds are not snug or their tips come off (Sony support).
- Repeat for the other ear. A different size on each side may be more comfortable and secure.
- Run a fit check if your earbuds support one. Available checks and setup depend on the model, phone, app, region, and software. Apple documents a fit test for supported AirPods Pro; Samsung documents a fit test in Galaxy Wearable for supported Galaxy Buds models; Sony offers app-based wearing-condition or optimal-tip assessments on supported models (Apple; Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro and Buds2; Sony). Treat the result as a useful check, not a guarantee that the earbuds will feel comfortable to you.
- Test during normal movement. Walk or do the ordinary activities in which you plan to use the earbuds, and notice whether they stay put and remain comfortable. Apple suggests wearing AirPods Pro during normal activity for 10 to 15 minutes and observing how they feel; that is an instruction for those earbuds, not a research-derived universal threshold (Apple Support).
If your earbuds still slip or feel uncomfortable
- Recheck that each tip is securely attached and that the earbuds are inserted in the intended orientation.
- Try another size, including a different size for each ear. Loose fit and uncomfortable compression point toward opposite sizing adjustments.
- If none of the included sizes is both comfortable and secure, check for manufacturer-approved replacement tips or consider a different earbud shape.
- Before buying replacement tips, confirm they fit the exact model and generation. If you are considering a different material or shape, verify that the manufacturer supports it and that the earbuds still fit in their charging case.
Manufacturer support instructions are product-specific. They do not establish a universal medical rule or show that one tip size or earbud model fits most people.

| What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Included tip sizes | Check which sizes come with the exact model and whether its manufacturer offers other compatible sizes. Availability varies by model and generation; see the relevant Apple or Samsung product guidance. |
| Fit-check support | Confirm that the exact earbuds support a fit or wearing-condition test, and check which phone and app it requires. Such checks are documented for selected Apple, Samsung, and Sony models; they do not guarantee individual comfort. |
| Tip shape and material | If the manufacturer offers alternatives for your model, compare them by how they feel and whether they remain secure. Material preference is individual; verify compatibility before purchasing. |
| Movement and intended use | Judge stability during the activity you actually expect to do rather than relying only on how the earbuds feel while sitting still. |
| Replacement compatibility and case fit | Match replacement tips to the exact model and generation, and check that the earbuds still seat correctly in the charging case. |
