Macworld For many AirPods Pro users, the listening experience doesn’t always live up to expectations—not because of the earbuds themselves, but because of the smallest component: the ear tips. The default silicone tips included with Apple’s AirPods Pro often struggle to deliver a consistently secure fit, all-day comfort, or reliable noise isolation. A seal that breaks even slightly reduces Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance, weakens sound clarity, and can leave users constantly adjusting their earbuds to keep them from slipping. That’s where Comply TrueGrip Premium Memory Foam Ear Tips come in. A simple $25 upgrade that can completely transform the AirPods Pro experience across generations (AirPods Pro 1, 2 & 3), these replacement tips deliver a superior fit, unmatched comfort, and dramatically improved noise isolation. If you rely on your AirPods Pro for commuting, working, exercising, or travel, this upgrade is one you’ll immediately feel. Buy Comply TrueGrip for AirPods Pro 3 Buy Comply TrueGrip for AirPods Pro 1 & 2 Why silicone struggles—and how memory foam solves it Silicone ear tips, even with Apple’s updated design in AirPods Pro 3, don’t always adapt well to natural ear canal movement. Smiling, talking, chewing, or jogging can break the seal, causing the earbuds to loosen or fall out entirely. Many users also experience pressure discomfort during longer listening sessions—particularly during flights, long work calls, or study sessions. Comply’s slow-rebound memory foam expands gently to your ear’s unique shape, creating a soft but secure seal that stays put through movement. Users report that while the new AirPods Pro 3 hybrid silicone-foam tips improve retention compared to earlier models, they still create more pressure in the ear canal and aren’t as comfortable or stable as Comply’s fully-foam design. Comply Superior fit, comfort & noise isolation Secure fit that doesn’t budge: The adaptive foam eliminates the constant readjusting many users experience. Whether jogging, lifting weights, commuting, or working in a chaotic environment, the TrueGrip tips hold firm and help prevent accidental slip-outs. Comfort designed for all-day wear: Unlike silicone, which pushes outward and creates pressure points, memory foam compresses when inserted and then expands slowly. The result is a cushioned, almost weightless feel that reduces ear fatigue. Users who previously experienced soreness after an hour or two can now wear AirPods Pro comfortably all day. Enhanced noise isolation for better ANC performance: A tighter seal means better passive isolation, which dramatically improves the effectiveness of Active Noise Cancellation. With more outside noise blocked, audio becomes richer and more immersive—whether listening to music, taking calls, or using Spatial Audio. Users commonly report better bass response, more consistent mids and highs, and an overall clearer and more powerful soundstage because the seal remains stable. Comply Two premium options for every listener Comply offers two versions to suit different needs: $24.99 TrueGrip and $29.99 TrueGrip MAX. The MAX version offers enhanced durability and moisture resistance via a patented SmartSkin™ foam technology. Buy from Amazon for AirPods Pro 3 or AirPods Pro 1 & 2. Both versions include three pairs of ear tips, a removal tool for easy installation, and are available in multiple colors depending on the AirPods Pro generation. Real-world performance: a meaningful upgrade Users who switched from Apple’s silicone tips to Comply TrueGrip frequently report: Better seal consistency and stronger ANC Improved comfort with reduced pressure in the ear canal More secure stability during activity Better bass response and overall clarity Zero slip or fall-out issues Comply The simple swap that transforms AirPods Pro If you love the AirPods Pro but wish they: Stayed in securely Felt better during long use Blocked more outside noise Delivered richer, more consistent sound …then this is a small upgrade that delivers a big difference. Improve your AirPods Pro experience today with Comply TrueGrip—premium memory foam ear tips engineered for superior fit, comfort, and immersive listening. Wear your AirPods every day, comfortably and confidently. Buy Comply TrueGrip for AirPods Pro 3 Buy Comply TrueGrip for AirPods Pro 1 & 2 Comply07:39 amSMS Delivery Delays to Tigo Network in Honduras

After roughly six weeks of beta testing, iOS 26.2 and related updates have finally been released for all users, delivering a number of new features, changes, and bug fixes. In other news this week, we saw fresh rumors about next year's iPhone models, Apple's chip guru Johny Srouji felt compelled to address reports that he might be joining the ongoing exodus of senior executives, and Apple Fitness+ is seeing its largest expansion since launch, so read on below for all the details on these stories and more! Top Stories Apple Releases iOS 26.2 With Alarms for Reminders, Lock Screen Changes, Enhanced Safety Alerts and More iOS 26.2 and friends are finally here, with Apple pushing out the releases to the public following their beta testing period. We've recapped all of the notable changes that are here in iOS 26.2, so be sure to check out the list so you know what to look for first once you update! iPhone Fold Expected to Claim 22% of Foldable Market, 34% of Revenue in First Year Apple's first foldable iPhone is projected to capture a sizable portion of the overall foldable market next year, with the "iPhone Fold" estimated to pick up 22% of units and 34% of revenue. The estimates come as one source claimed Samsung Display is slated to produce more display panels than expected for the device, suggesting strong anticipated demand, although Samsung has disputed the claim. iPhone 18 Pro Leak Adds New Evidence for Under-Display Face ID Apple is actively testing under-screen Face ID for next year's iPhone 18 Pro models using a special "spliced micro-transparent glass" window built into the display, claims a Chinese leaker. Apple is reportedly testing the special glass as a way to let the TrueDepth system's infrared sensors pass through the panel without distortion. A number of rumors have indicated Apple is working on moving Face ID hardware under the screen to reduce the size of the Dynamic Island, though they have been split on whether the technology will be ready in time for next year's iPhone models. Apple's Chipmaking Chief Johny Srouji Responds to Report About Him Potentially Leaving Last weekend, it was reported that Apple's chip chief Johny Srouji has been "seriously considering leaving" the company in the near future, which would be a significant blow to the company amidst the current wave of executive departures. The chatter was enough to spur Srouji to send a memo to his team, reassuring them that he has no plans to leave "anytime soon." Apple was reportedly trying to put together a package of increased compensation and responsibilities to ensure Srouji would stay on board, but it's unclear if that effort has convinced him to remain at Apple or if the initial rumors of his potential departure had been somewhat overblown in the first place. Switching Between iPhone and Android Will Get Easier With New Apple and Google Collaboration Apple and Google are teaming up to make it easier for users to switch between iPhone and Android smartphones. A new Android Canary build released this week simplifies data transfer between two smartphones, and Apple is going to implement the functionality in an upcoming iOS 26 beta. Apple already has a Move to iOS app for transferring data from an Android device to an iPhone, while Google has an Android Switch app that can migrate data from an iPhone to an Android smartphone. The new method will apparently replace the existing apps, offering a transfer function when setting up a new iPhone or Android device. Apple Fitness+ Coming to 28 New Regions With Digital Voice Dubbing Apple this week announced that Fitness+ is expanding to 28 new markets on December 15 in the service's largest international rollout since launch, accompanied by new language dubbing and a K-Pop music genre. Apple Fitness+ will become available in Chile, Hong Kong, India, the Netherlands, Singapore, Taiwan, and additional regions on December 15, with Japan scheduled to follow early next year. The expansion increases total availability to 49 countries. Hundreds of sessions will initially be available with digitally generated voice dubbing in Spanish and German, with Japanese added when the service launches in Japan. New dubbed episodes will be released weekly across all supported regions.

For the price, you get a lot of capability.
