AirPods will not stay in my ear

AirPods will not stay in my ear. I can not go outside or walk anywhere. They are for inside the house clearly. Too expensive to loose for a ten minute walk.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.4

You do not say which AirPods you have but if they are Pros, they should have come with several different sizes of silicone tips. Have you tried different ones? If you have and they will still not stay in place, try ordering AirPod Ear Hooks from Amazon or another third party. I have heard good things about them.

I indicated which airpods i had. I guess it got lost. They are 4s. I have switched ears, turned them upside down, done the way everyone says. Nothing works. They just pop out. Design flaw i guess.

Thanks for your quick response. I must say it is not so much a design flaw as a situation where each ear canal is different and unique. I'm sorry yours are not staying in. But they are really good devices and I hate to see you miss out on their features. Please consider taking a look at these hooks that are specifically designed for your model. They are inexpensive and well reviewed.
