Not really the Airpods fault there.

Are the airpods not doing well?

Sounds amazing when I make calls with my airpods so I don't think that statement holds.

Is this solved in the new airpods pro?

Maybe we don't need airpods.

AirPods Pro have worked best of everything I’ve tried

For what it’s worth, I had the same problem with all previous Apple earphones. But, I don’t have that problem with airpod pros.

I doubt it since the air pods are just Bluetooth headphones.

I had the same problem with their earphones, but some reviewers mentioned that AirPods fit much better.
