I’ve had the same issue. Get some ear trimmers and clear out the ear hairs. Also, as someone else mentioned: ear hooks with the little fin that touches the top of your ear, similar to Bose soundsport earbuds.

I like using it without them though because once they start falling out it reminds me to trim my wolf-like ear canals again.

Swear to god, I played a tuba that looked exactly like that one in a room with carpet like that and chairs just like that back in the day lol. As long as your school mascot isn't the Chargers, we're good lol

True.

But I bought them now and am past the return window so I got to live with it.

I actually bought them mostly for sleeping, as they have the best noise-cancelling for their size. I have trouble sleeping and these really do help a lot.

But you're right, they are heavily overpriced

I was using the largest ones but they kept falling out. There were no official larger sizes so I used memory foam tips to put under the original silicone tips. Now they stay in perfectly, but really I think there could have been a better official solution like Apple making XL tips for people with large ears
