According to the latest update, kate Bush. Genesis. The Beatles. It’s the fuel I need to keep going. Not only does it help me generate fresh ideas for articles, but it also helps keep me in a more relaxed state throughout the day (I’m a naturally anxious, high-energy person). I’m something of a fiend when it comes to music.
As part of the ongoing story, whether I’m sitting down to write or puttering around the house tidying up, I pop them in. While I love how convenient AirPods are (no cords!), I wear them for hours at a time, which causes quite a bit of ear pain. That’s why I use my AirPods on a daily basis.
According to the latest update, it disrupts my whole routine and really kills the vibe I’ve set for the day. It’s always my right ear canal that gives me trouble, and I have no idea why.
Industry observers note that not only do they slip onto the AirPods easily (no stretching or molding them to fit), they also don’t add any noticeable bulk. The soft silicone makes the AirPods much more comfortable to wear. So I decided to try these $14 silicone tips on a whim, and boy, did they make a difference.
Industry observers note that i no longer had to constantly adjust the AirPods or take breaks due to discomfort. I could just get on with my work without the pain. After just a few days with those silicone tips, my ear pain went away.
Industry observers note that the silicone tips don’t fit inside the AirPod case. It’s not a big deal because they slip on so easily (like slippers!), but it’s still worth noting. Just one thing to keep in mind, though.
The report highlights that they come in black, white, and blue, and now I can lose myself for hours in my extensive playlist without ever thinking about my ears. If your AirPods are making your ears sore, these are definitely worth a try.
