![]() ![]() Let’s start with the main problem to be solved, keeping them in my ears. I think I may finally have the solution to all of my problems. Santa brought me a lovely new alternative, the Beats Fit Pro from Apple. They work, but they’re not comfortable, I still have to shove them back in my ear from time to time because they start to ooze out even with the Charjen modifications. While I’m busy procrastinating, I went back to the AirPods Pro and the Charjen Ear Hooks. Evidently, my plan is to stay angry and procrastinate until they fall out of warranty. I’m still angry that I’ll have to pay for a replacement, and only then be able to get them fixed or replaced under warranty. I added a to-do to my list on November 1st to call Apple to order a replacement, but I haven’t done it yet. ![]() Here I have a defective set of AirPods and now I can’t even get my money back or get them replaced. Somewhere along my 4-mile run, I pulled out my iPhone, probably to take a photo of a cute dog, and when I got back to my car, I only had one AirPod. I took them out of my ears and put them in my SpiBelt with my iPhone. ![]() I was planning to call AppleCare (since they were still in the warranty period) when I wore them to the beach for a run and they died on me. It seems to me this must be a design flaw because I can’t just be that unlucky, can I? I couldn’t believe it was happening again. I’d take an AirPod out and it would say it had no charge. Until the exact same problems started with them as with the first pair. They fit, they were easy to pop in and out, and life was good. I finally broke down and bought another pair of OG AirPods, and I was soooo happy. With the Ear Hooks on the AirPods, they don’t fit in the case, so I had to put them on and take them off every single time I went for a walk or a run. Luckily Frank Petrie told us about the Ear Hooks from Charjen along with their AirForms Pro Active ear tips that he mentioned again just last week, and that combination helped a lot.Ĭharjen definitely solved the problems that Apple created with the AirPods Pro, at least for my ear lobes, but it was a hassle to use the Ear Hooks. It was frustrating and resulted in picking up my AirPods from the ground pretty often. AirPods Pro simply squirt out of my ears. ![]() I finally knew the pain so many others had with the original AirPods not fitting their ears. I bought the AirPods Pro to replace them, and while I never had the same charging problem, they just didn’t fit my ears. I finally paid to have one of them replaced but it didn’t solve the problem, so I gave them to Lindsay as spares. I was willing to pay for a replacement, but I had no way of determining whether it was one AirPod or the case. By that time, the darn things were out of warranty. I was willing to live with the fiddliness, but after a long while of this nonsense, eventually putting them back in the case wouldn’t magically heal them. I’d put it back in the case and close it, then count to 2 and pull it out and it would show that it had over 80% charge. But some days I’d pull an AirPod out of the case and it would say the battery was dead. I always charge the case while on my long afternoon walks, and wear them for those walks and my runs in the mornings. But after a while my first pair started having problems with charging. They fit my ears and then sounded just fine for podcast listening, which is my main use for them. When the first generation AirPods came out, I loved them. ![]()
