Don't stay in my ear

Utter garbage, regret not reading more reviews as these do not stay in my ears. Every time I have any facial movement - talk, smile, etc. and too much body movement they fall out. Worse I can't return them. Do not buy.
I've had few cheap 50$ headphones in my life and they sounded way better than these. The thing is that if you don't configure them, they sound average for any music and if you do configure they sound well for some type (like classical) but horrible with another (like rock). So in the end you need to chose which music you want to listen to, or reconfigure them for every song... Noise cancelling and connectivity is good though.
I've always been pro Google, love my Google products, have had phones from 3 to the 7 pro. When the pixel bud a series came out. I immediately got them, they were AMAZING.
Recently, I broke the a series. so during boxing week I got the Pixel bud Pros and oh my god are they horrible. I paid 200$ for the same thing just with wireless charging. These things sound the same if-not worse, They don't stick in your ear like the a series constantly breaking the seal and music pausing, sounding horrible etc. or even just falling out, I'm a cook, we listen to music while we work. never had an issue with my old pixel buds. but the pros are gonna fall in my fryer.
the BASS on the A series is AMAZING.. but in the pros it just sucks. they are uncomfortable, they last for about a few hours and the case lasts for about an hour. I use to charge my a series (after using them for AT LEAST 10 hrs straight a day while working and at school) once or twice every 2 weeks. I have to charge my PROs every single night or I won't have them for the next day.
Like I said I love google, and I would love to leave a happy review of this product but I can't. these aren't the best, I wish I could return them. anyways, I'll just deal with these for now. I hope that google can bring back the A series build shell with the PRO's features.
I was reading everywhere how phenomenal these earbuds were and bought it when they were on sale. Even with BestBuy Canada not taking returns on headphones, I took my chances. Big mistake! Comparing this to my previous Sony WF-1000XM3 (which was working great for 4 years before the right ear bud would die after 30 minutes)... the sound quality and noise cancellation is no where as good. Sometimes the earbuds would get loose in my ears and I can't readjust it without it pausing my music. The charging case is slippery and I have already dropped it once on concrete floor. One good thing about is how comfortable it is, I can never tell if I have it on or not... until it starts falling off my ear. I can't even seem to sell this at half the price I bought it on sale on FB Marketplace or Kijiji.
1. Does not fit in ears, keeps popping out even after trying every size of ear tips. 2. ANC is not up to the mark. 3. Volume feature also does not work properly with swipe action. 4. Only after increasing sound to 70%, I can hear a good sound.
