Personally, I knew that the airpods would never fit my ears right so I knew I wouldn't be buying them once they came out.

Perhaps the market is self-selecting and thus only those with the proper ear shape actually opt for them?

Is that because of the fit you get with the wired ones?

The wired ones more or less fit in my ears, but I found that when I was walking or doing any kind of exercise they fall out in less I use the little plastic thing to cinch them up.

I was worried I have the same problem with the AirPods but they work just fine for me. I guess not having that cable tugging on them makes the difference.

But the old ones worked if I was just sitting still. That didn't even work well for my brother and he wasn't able to use AirPods either.

I think I fall in the "doesn't work when sitting still" category like your brother. I can technically have them on when I'm sitting down, but it's more like a centimeter away from my ear canal and on the brink of falling out.

Hoping that the future iterations are more promising.
