For those that found the original design to only fit their ears, don't bother with these.
I am one who has a hard time finding buds that stay in my ears. To my surprise, a few years ago, I found out that the wired designed ear buds actually fit and stayed in my ears. After that, I went and bought the first Airpods. Now, they're what, 4-5 years old? and I've been looking for their next gen ones for over a year. I was excited that they finally released them, but was hesitant on the design. I ordered them anyways.
To my disappointment, they do not stay in my ears like the original design. They fall right out. So if you have odd ears like me, and found that the original design has been the best fitting earbuds you've also found, you will not like this updated design. So sad that they've updated it. Which probably means now, as time goes on, I'll have to resort to actual headphones, because I've yet to have found any silicon tips that stay in my ears either. Even found a third party that makes smaller ones. And one that make the foam ones. Nothing works for me.
Hopefully, they'll be enough people out there like me that force Apple to go back to their original design.
EDIT: Replying to the current top liked comment bellyaching why people are leaving unverified reviews. It's because Apple doesn't allow reviews, and people have to know that these do not fit the same. It's up to the user to make the decision on if they want to buy or not.
