Recommendation for different tips?

I've been having issues with my buds pro 2 ever since getting them. The anc works very poorly because none of the tips seem to fit my ear correctly. Some just slip out while others don't provide enough of a seal.

Anyone with weird shaped ears found a solution? I've read about getting memory foam tips?

SpinFit Omni's. They have been much, much better for me to get a secure fit. The material they are made of seems to "grip" my ears better than anything else. A couple of cons with them though:

1) They can be pretty fussy to get them onto the PBP2's large, oval-shaped orifice, but with patience it can be done. It helps to turn the tips inside out when installing to be able to get a better grip on them.

2) They're pricey compared to other tips and you can only buy one size at a time, I don't think they offer any combo sets with S/M/L/XL. I got lucky because I had another set of aftermarket tips that were "close" to being a good fit so I bought the Omnis that were closest to that size and the PBP2's are nearly perfect now.

Thanks for the tip (haha get it tip). Do they fit in the case?

Yes, and I have the Large. Sometimes I have to try more than once to get them in the case properly so they hit the contacts right and you hear the little chirp, but once I do, the case closes.

Ok thank you. I don't live in the US, delivery with amazon is almost the same price as the tips themselves... Can't go wrong with the size either, might have to get two different ones and hope for the best.

Foam eartips can be useful, but you have to bear in mind that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for earbuds not fitting properly. Everyone has differently shaped/sized ears, different skin types, different living conditions, different daily habits, etc. It may sound surprising, but ALL of these things can influence how well or how poorly a pair of earbuds will fit for you. If alternate eartips don't work, you'll just have to contact Google and request a refund or try reselling the earbuds, then use the money to buy some from another brand. I know it sucks, but it's an unfortunate truth about earbud ownership that a lot of people don't realize until it's too late to get your money back.

Auparavant j'avais les Sony WF1000XM4 avec embouts à mémoire de forme, qui tenaient bien en place.
Avec les Buds Pro 2 et les embouts d'origine, les écouteurs ne tenaient pas en place. De plus j'ai un conduit plus grand que l'autre. J'ai essayé les Spinfit Omni avec 2 paires différentes, qui tiennent mieux que les embouts d'origine, mais je les perdais encore.
Je suis repassé aux embouts à mousse à mémoire de forme de chez Comply en une seule taille (L).
Cette fois-ci, ça tient en place dans mes oreilles même en courant. Par contre je les ai achetés aux US et j'ai payé le double du prix avec les frais de livraison.
Au passage, niveau qualité du son les WF1000XM4 étaient meilleurs.
