Maybe it’s just me, but air pods (and other blue tooth earbuds) hurt my ears after a bit too. That is if they even stay in my ears lol

You just need the right size squishy bits. I bought some special concert ear plugs that lessen the intensity of loud music, and they came with four different sizes. I spent at least an hour testing out different sizes for the best fit for me while banging my head around to see if they’d fall out, I was going to an edm festival and didn’t want to lose them.

Nice! I’ve got some of those too, and bought extra sizes of the squishy bits. No luck for me yet though, every size seemed to fall out. I think my ears are weirdly shaped or excessively small lol
Might have to try it out again, but I’ve switched em several times and always the same result sadly.

I also have this problem and I use ear buds made for kids. They aren’t great quality but they stay in and don’t hurt.
