Removing the Ear Tips
- Grip the silicone tip firmly. Use your fingertips (not the stem of the AirPod) to hold the rubber base of the tip.
- Pull gently but steadily. Grip and tug directly outward until the tip snaps off. It should detach with a noticeable click.
Attaching a New or Different-Sized Tip
- Select the desired replacement tip. AirPods Pro come with small, medium, and large tips.
- Align the oval opening. Match the ear tip’s oval connector with the AirPod’s jet nozzle.
- Push until it clicks. Apply gentle pressure until the tip firmly snaps into place—move it slightly to ensure it’s seated.
Checking for a Good Fit
- Ear Tip Fit Test (iOS):
- Connect your AirPods Pro to your iPhone.
- Go to Settings → Bluetooth, tap the ⓘ next to your AirPods.
- Tap Ear Tip Fit Test, then Continue and press Play. The test confirms if you have a proper seal.
- Manual check: If sound seems muffled or you experience inconsistent bass, try a different-sized tip for a better seal.
Tips & Care
- Clean when switching: Gently wipe off any earwax or debris using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
- Replace every few months if tips start stretching or lose their sticky fit—Apple suggests regular replacement for hygiene and sound quality.
- Keep your set: Always store the removed tips (if clean) in a small case to avoid losing them.
