Changing AirPods Pro rubber: This is what you need to keep in mind

For many satisfied users, the perfect fit of their AirPods Pro is the reason why they use them intensively. The AirPods Pro silicone tips are crucial to ensuring that you can wear the headphones for hours without feeling uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid having to change the AirPods Pro rubber. As the stress of use increases, the material may tear. Fortunately, you can order replacement parts today and changing the AirPods Pro plugs is no big deal. We give you instructions that will help you change the AirPods Pro attachments step by step.

Find suitable AirPods Pro rubber attachments

The good news first. Just because you need new rubber tips for your headphones doesn't mean you have to spend a lot of money. They are now available and can be ordered directly from Apple as a spare part. That wasn't always the case, because it took a while until Apple realized that it was, in a sense, a wearing part.

Even if you always store your headphones properly in the AirPods Pro charging case, wear and tear cannot be prevented. In the first few years after the market launch, there was only one way to get a replacement. You would have had to contact the manufacturer's support so that they could send you new silicone tips for a payment.

Today you can order the rubber attachments directly from the online shop and they will be delivered to you after a few days. If you still choose the customer service route, you may save money. There are several reports of customers receiving a lower price for their parts this way.

Don't skimp on the plugs

Of course, there are also a lot of counterfeit products available to order on the Internet. We can only advise you against this. And that's not because we only sell original spare parts for AirPods of different generations in our online shop.

If you buy cheap imitations, you can't be sure whether they really fit. This can make changing the AirPods Pro plugs more difficult and also affect their wearing comfort. The composition of the plugs is certainly not the same as the originals.

Fit test for AirPods Pro silicone tips

If you're new to AirPods Pro and wondering which size headphones are right for you, you have two options. Either you try changing AirPods Pro attachments several times or you do the following test developed by Apple to determine the optimal size of the silicone tips.

• Go to Bluetooth connection in your iPhone's settings.
• Press the small “i” next to the AirPods Pro.
• Next, select the test and follow the instructions on the display.
• If the test suggests a different size, repeat after changing the AirPods Pro silicone tips.

Since a person's ears change very slowly, you will most likely wear the size of the plugs determined in this way for a very long time. If you need to change the AirPods Pro attachments, you will also know which size is the right one for the future.

Change AirPods Pro rubber

If you have ordered a replacement from the manufacturer, all you have to do is change the AirPods Pro rubbers. We have put together precise instructions for you.If you follow these, you will be able to use your headphones as usual within a few minutes.

1. First you have to remove the old silicone tips. Grasp the bottom of the eartip where it connects to the headphones.
2. Now pull firmly on the ear insert so that it detaches from the headphones. Because this connection is very tight, you have to pull really hard.
3. Now align the new AirPods Pro rubber plugs. Two small bulges on the sides of the AirPods will help you with this. You have to align the earplug with this.
4. Take the attachment and press it down evenly. You will clearly hear a click when you have established a solid connection.

Which AirPods Pro attachments are there?

Apple offers three different sizes of AirPods Pro silicone tips. Each pack contains attachments in sizes S, M and L. If you're lucky, we'll fit two sizes and you can change the AirPods Pro earbuds to a different size if necessary.

Under no circumstances should the headphones press, as this will affect the sound and you will not be able to fully enjoy the music. For a perfect fit, the plugs should be easy to remove but still seal your ear from the outside world.

Since size M fits most people, you should try this first. If the headphones are too loose, then switch to size L. If they are tight and you find them uncomfortable to wear, then reduce the size from S.

What speaks for changing the AirPods Pro rubbers?

There are both economic and sustainable aspects. The fact is that you cannot use the headphones well with defective silicone tips. Buying replacement plugs is of course much cheaper than purchasing a new bundle. If you want to save even more, you can think about ordering multiple replacements at the same time and thereby saving on shipping costs.

The environment also benefits if you extend the life of your headphones by purchasing replacement parts. Less waste is created and fewer raw materials have to be used.
