achilles Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I’ve been using foam tips on my AirPods Pro for about a year. They don’t last as long but are so far superior to silicone, specially in feel and stay-in ability, that I wouldn’t even consider regular silicone tips as an option. Which reminds me, I need to order another set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

International markets get both but we will not get the foam tip. Yes the Foam Tips disintegrate quickly but they are the most comfortable and also provide a secure fit. I hope the Indian reviewers are wrong and in the retail units the foam tips are available. This is from their website: Noise Isolation Earbud Tips Newly developed Noise Isolation Earbud Tips feature a unique polyurethane foam material. Soft and elastic, it maximises the surface contact area between the earbud tip and the ear canal, eliminating gaps to insulate sound and reduce noise. It also improves adhesion to the ear canal for a more stable fit, making the WF-1000XM4 headphones easy to wear. I didn't know that the international markets were getting both. That's a bummer. Which reviewer mentioned that Indian market won't be getting them? Edit: In international video reviews, I can only see 3 sets of eartips being included.

This is great since the fit of the foam ear tips is much better than the silicone ones they provided us in the review box." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping that there are some discounts either via HDFC or atleast Amazon 5% cashback. My current XM2 (headphones) work great but I need something lighter and mainly which can be used for daily calls as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some 2.5K cashback in amazonpay from earlier purchases in account so will combine that with Amazon pay card and will convince myself that I got a steal deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foam causes a lot of muffling if sound, albeit has a better fit. Silicon ones feel more "free", and give the tonal appearance of better soundstage, at least to my ears. I even tried other silicon tips, but the default ones on XM3 are pretty much the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fit is a problem with every XM3 user. Not a 20k problem though. AQ hasn't changed much. And I don't use DSEE to have any measurable impact.

Then I think wait for a deep discount (Diwali), also Soundcore might launch the Liberty Pro 3 in India by then, they are supposed to be pretty dope as well.

Tried to use them because they are considered to be superior, but could not grow to like that muffled effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
