Losing an AirPod really stinks, and if you've done it, know that you're not alone. But a tiny investment in a pair of ear hooks might just prevent that from happening. The simplest solution is the MCTOPZO AirPods 3 Ear Tips. The soft, inexpensive silicone tips slide easily onto your AirPods 3 and offer you a more secure fit. Since you're getting four of them for one low price, you can split up a package with friends or just have plenty of spares to keep on hand.

Or, you can make a fashion statement with the WC HookZ AirPods Ear Hooks, which come in some great colors. Some people prefer the feeling of the in-ear hooks while others will like this over-ear style. Since these attach to the stems rather than the AirPods themselves, they'll be a bit more future-proof, and will certainly fit the previous models.
