I already know from years of owning those inexpensive, wired earbuds they used to pack into every iPhone and iPad box, that particular style of slick plastic never work for me. One ear they stay in fairly well, the other they won’t stay in at all. They are non-adjustable, no add-on tips of various sizes, so they simply don’t work in my case. The AirPods (non-Pro) look like they are very similar in design, so I doubt they will work either. The AirPods Pro do have various tips to use, but since a lot of people here and elsewhere complain they hurt after wearing for a while, i'll just have to try them out first to see. I really like the design of the Powerbeats Pro Totally Wireless Earphones because they are a behind the ear design, so in theory they won't need to be as tight in my ear. But so far I haven't seen any of the noise cancelling and spatial audio earbuds that have the behind the ear design. Maybe this Fall we will see more options and updates to those that are currently available.

I had my doubts aboht the fit for Airpods, but for me, they fit is very good. With the one-size-fits-all design, it will be hit or miss.
I wish the Pros had one size smaller tip, the smallest size is a littke to big for one of my ears.
I believe for noise cancelation, you are going to need a good seal. Behind the ear may prevent them from falling out, but I'm guessing they won't help much maintaing the seal. This is a problem with ny Pros: the sound quality and noise cancellation gets worse once the seal is broken, nd if I am doing any kind of activity, the seal doesn't last very long, maybe 5 minutes. And this happens even when riding the lawn mower or driving the car, for me.
