Amazon.com: Customer reviews: EarBuddyz Ultra Ear Hooks and Covers Compatible with Apple AirPods 1 & AirPods 2 or EarPods Featuring Bass Enhancement Technology (Medium, White)

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2022

I always hated any type of apple air pods. They would fall out with the slightest movement or god forbid a bump. I guess I have strange ears. Then the heavens opened up and dropped these ad on earbuddzy ear hooks in my Amazon cart. They take about 10 seconds to install on the airpods and are extremely comfortable. The tip fits in your ear canel and the hook gently holds the airpod in place by applying slight pressure on your ear lobe. EXTREMELY SECURE. Excellent ambient noise reduction, improved sound transfers. So far I used them on a plane trip and a 26 mile bicycle ride. Bumps, tussles, jarring movements and the stayed in place. FREAKING AWESOME! Extremely Comfortable. Cool little carrier and three different sizes of adapters come in the package. I am know a fan of apple air pods, ease of use and sound quality is great. The only draw back is the adapters have to be removed to charge the pods in their case. But they are super easy to put back on.
If your pods don’t stay in your ears. Buy these.

They work exactly like you think they would

So they do block the noise but are not full on noise cancellation. There super comfortable, and work exactly like there suppose to. They stay in the ear snuggly as well. I’m no longer afraid of them falling out of my ear! My only complaint and it’s not the product it’s self but apple, but I do wish they fit inside the charging case with the earbuds so I don’t have to install the covers every time I want to use em. But again that has nothing to do with the product or the company that makes the cover, there’s just no room in the charging case except for the earbuds alone.

The almost perfect solution to EarPods/AirPods falling out of my ears

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2019

Okay, I'll admit it. I love these things. They have transformed my experience with, and opinion of the EarPods and I actively hunting a pair of AirPods now thanks to the EarBuddyz Ultra Ear Hooks. My opinion of EarPods prior to the EarBuddyz Ultra Ear Hooks was not very high. The didn't fit well, always flopping out of my ears, and the sounded even worse. I hated them. Tinny, no bass, just complete garbage sound. Then I slipped a pair of the Ultra Ear Hooks on them and WOW! What a difference! These things sound great! Crisp highs, bass I didn't know they had and, they stay securely in my ears now.

Are they perfect? Not for my ears and their big ear holes. The buds are what they are listed as, medium. I need large buds. But, these things have transformed my experience with, and opinion of my EarPods and Apple has EarBuddyz to thank for another customer purchasing a pair of AIrPods in the very near future. Something I never would have considered without these things.

A couple of final thoughts.
Noise Cancelation - these don't do anything in regards to noise cancelation. They secure the EarPods/Airpods in your ears and direct the sound into your ears. And they do a phenomenal job doing what they're designed to do.

Noise Isolation - If I had smaller ear holes, they would probably do a much better job. As I mentioned, I need large earbuds for proper noise isolation. For me, they don't isolate very well. If you use small or medium earbuds normally, they will likely do a fantastic job for you.

Even though they aren't perfect, would I recommend them? You bet. Get yourself a pair of these things. You won't regret it. And EarBuddyz! You need to release Ultra Ear Hooks with LARGE buds. Those I'm sure would get a 5-star review from me.

Exactly what I was looking for!

I have been researching bluetooth headphones for months. I tried out Jaybirds and some other 'wireless' headphones, but even the wires behind my head were cumbersome and pulled the earbuds out of my ears when running, wearing hoodies, etc. I had shied away from AirPods as I was really worried about them falling out when running, etc., as the normal Apple EarPods seem to do that quite often when I am wearing and doing other activities. But after my trial of other 'wireless' headphones failed, I decided to try the AirPods on at the Apple Store as I started to see LOTS of people at the gym with them. I was surprised how good they stayed in and sounded at the Apple Store, so decided to try them. BUT, I still wanted some sort of attachment to hook them in my ears for added security and comfort. I did some research and saw these EarBuddyz were highly rated and talked about, and they looked exactly like what I was thinking about. I bought the EarBuddyz Ultras and they are GREAT! These coupled with the AirPods is EXACTLY the wireless experience I was looking for! Wore them at the gym today for the first time and felt like nothing was in my ears except awesome sound quality, fit, and comfort. I will be buying some of the non-Ultras for work around home to make sure I always have enough in stock! These are a great, simple product that serve a specific function ... they are comfortable, lightweight, and so far durable. Keep up the great work!

Great for small ears

I finally got some AirPods to use while walking/exercising/working (mostly working) and planned to use them for long stretches of time. I have smaller ears, so I was already kind of worried about this, but initially I thought I was golden with just the pods themselves. After about a week of wearing them pretty consistently, I had cuts in my ears from the hard seam on the top of the pods and had to stop wearing them to let my ears hear. I started poking around Amazon and found these guys. I bought them and I LOVE them! They fit in my ears really well, and I really like the added security of having the little hook that nestles into the top part of your ear. I've never had a lot of luck with the ones that go behind your ear, so I was hoping these would solve that problem too, which they did!

For anyone wondering if they are hard to put on, they are not. I take the covers off every time I go to charge my pods (just in case you don't know from other reviews, you cannot charge them with the covers on) and have to put them back on multiple times a day. I was worried this would get annoying, but it really isn't. They slip on super easily and are simple to adjust, but they don't move around and obstruct the speakers in your ear. There was one review I read where they said they broke them trying to put them on and either that person was the freaking Hulk and could not control themselves or they got a really a set from a bad batch or something. I mess with these a bunch, almost like fidgets, when they are not on my pods and they have not even come close to tearing.

One more plus, they come with a small carrying case and 2 sets, so I always leave one set on my desk at work and have the carrying case attached to the AirPod case I have just in case I want to use them at home or out walking somewhere. You could easily attach it on to your key ring or a lanyard if need be as well.

Definitely helps with comfort

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2021

I bought these because the air pods I have keep falling out of my ears, and are extremely uncomfortable. I figured they would make them more comfortable to wear and help keep them in my ears, which they did 100%.
With that said, I do have to say that I thought the rubber would be a little stiffer than it is. The rubber is really soft, which helps with comfort, but makes it a little tricky to get them into the ear far enough where I dont worry about them falling out. The other issue I found is that the sound is muffled a little bit from the air pod because of the angle of the piece that goes into the ear.
Now when you get these covers onto the air pods, you wont be able to put them into the case and charge them. I have to take mine off every time, but I knew that prior to purchasing them.
Overall I am happy with them because I had a hard time keeping the airpods in my ears, and definitely had a problem with them hurting my ears as well. If they were a little more sturdy and the angle of the piece going into the ear was just a little less, they would be perfect for my use which is just for the gym

Actually made me love my Airpods, instead of thinking I made a $170 mistake!!

I just got the Airpods 2 last week on a whim, tired of cheap BT headphones for running/lifting...and I immediately thought I made a $170 mistake. For whatever reason, the right Airpod refuses to stay in while I run, so it was 30 minutes of reaching up every minute or so to keep me from losing it out on a trail. I took a gamble on 3 different company's version of these, and the EarBuddyz came out on top!

- Seriously stable (staying in ear) and comfortable - no soreness after an hour long run on the first go with them

- 7 seconds to put them on, 1 second to take them off - much less of a hassle than I was anticipating, and much easier than a couple other brands that I tried.

- cuts down on wind noise and improved clarity - totally wasn't expecting this (I was too focused on finding something to keep me from losing an earpiece)

- they come with a little case... it's cheap, but it does the job and perfectly clips on my little silicone case for my Airpods, so it's really convenient

Mostly great. Super secure. A bit too much bass.

I have alway had a problem getting ear buds to stay in. When my kids got me Air Pods for Father’s Day, I was concerned they would have limited use for fear of them falling out. Then I found EarBuddys. In terms of comfort and security, they are awesome. Other than going into the ocean, I now feel safe wearing my air pods anywhere. The medium size are a great fit for me. The also add a noise canceling quality that allows me to hear music when mowing the lawn. The reason I only gave 4 stars is that I find that the design make the sound extra boomy. The low end bass sound exaggerated. Adjusting the equalizer had no impact. Ended up buying the regular ones without the part that goes into the ear canal. Almost a secure, you lose some of the noise canceling but I though music sounded a bit better. Will still use these for some applications and they are definitely with the price

Makes AirPods what they should be!

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2019

I have the original earhooks from EarBuddyz for my series 1 AirPods and they solved the issue of keeping the AirPods in my ears during workouts and such. These covers however are a total game changer as far as sound quality is concerned. I have been involved in multiple recording/performance projects and have used studio-quality monitor headphones for both the recording booth as well as on-stage feedback. While these covers don't magically change the AirPods into studio-quality headphones, they do successfully enable the full spectrum audio that was only ever present if I held the AirPods in my ears firmly with my hands.

The canal bud portion of these covers seats nicely in my ears and provides the solid bass response that I was looking for. They are not going to magically cancel out all sound around you, but they will do a much better job than the AirPods by themselves. That said, if there were a large version available instead of just medium/small, I think that would suit my needs even better. I was skeptical that the covers could transmit the low-end frequencies successfully, but they really do a great job of allowing the AirPods to provide a great listening experience.

I should also note that I've tried the other "hacks" to try and get a snug fit from the AirPods (eg. the medical tape + hole punch), and I found nothing else has really worked for me. I didn't want to give up on the devices because they were purchased as a gift for me and I really liked the idea of being able to use them more often. These covers allow me to be able to use them in many more situations that I couldn't previously (ie. working in my office, at the gym, etc.). I would previously have to revert to circum-aural headphones in order to get enough sound quality/noise blocking to justify having headphones on. Now, I can have something much more lightweight to use in my AirPods vs my bulky headphones.

Installing them is pretty easy but you do need to take care to position them properly on the AirPods if you want to take advantage of the proximity sensor layout. This is also something that really allows me to enjoy these covers much more than previous iterations --they actually pause playback/turn the headphones off when you remove them from your ears.

I'm very happy with these covers and would recommend them to anyone who is looking to first and foremost improve the sound quality they are getting out of their AirPods. To be clear, the AirPods already produce a great sound, but that quality is lost because of poor fit for many people. These covers simply allow that quality to be directed properly into the ear canal.

If you are primarily looking for something as a noise cancelling solution, I think you may find yourself disappointed and I would suggest going for a true canal bud style headphone instead of trying to get better noise cancelling from the AirPods.
