Are you using the right AirPods Pro ear tips? Take this test to find out

Three AirPods Pro ear tips are available for the first-generation AirPods Pro: small, medium, and large. For customers with narrower ear shapes, the AirPods Pro 2 go one step further and offer an extra-small tip size.

But how can you choose the best size from the available AirPods Pro ear tips? Since the tips help seal the ear and make sure the noise cancellation and transparency mode functions function as intended, choosing the incorrect size might have a major impact on your listening experience. Also, your buds can fall out if you select a tip that is too little or large. However, there is an easy solution to this issue. With your iPhone or iPad, you can use Apple’s Ear Tip Fit Test to check if you are using the right AirPods Pro ear tips.

Note that the Ear Tip Fit Test can only be taken on iPhones running iOS 13.2 or later.

Put your AirPod Pros in your ears.
Launch the Settings app on your device.
Find your AirPods Pro on the list of Bluetooth devices and tap the “i” info icon to the right. If your iPhone is running iOS 16, there will be a separate AirPods tab.
Scroll down and tap Ear Tip Fit Test on the AirPod Settings page.
When you’re ready to start the test, tap Proceed and then tap the Play button. To assess the effectiveness of the seal between a specific pair of headphones and your ear, your phone will play a brief segment of music through the AirPods.

The image of the AirPod will appear on your screen with the words Good Seal in green underneath if it deems that the seal is tight and provides for sufficient noise canceling. If not, it will turn yellow and say Adjust or Try a Different Ear Tip in place of that message.
