I would be so scared of them falling

[–] Bocky 1 points 10 months ago

I use AirPod pros on my flights almost daily. I found that they do fall out or come loose on takeoff when I am running.

However, I got memory foam tips, and the little silicone slip on ear hooks and those hold them in 100% with no fear of losing them.

AirPods are not able to cut out all the noise, I get some popping and crackling in them at full throttle or when I turn to look at my wing and one ear is pointed towards the motor. But, I fly with a helmet and peltor muffs over the AirPods and it’s good.

I have a set of ppg smoke muffs, but have gone back to AirPods and peltors.

Only problem is that I don’t have microphone with the AirPods, but that’s fine for me I don’t talk anyways. I just listen to music and gaggle

Those are the ear hooks I use. The tips are ok, but there’s better tips out there
