My first molding attempt actually “failed,” according to the app I saw an error message after about 40 seconds saying that the process had been interrupted. So the app reminds you to stay calm and keep your jaw relaxed to avoid messing up the fit. It never gets uncomfortable (Ultimate Ears likens it to the temperature of a warm bath), but it’ll definitely grab your attention.
During molding, the tips warm up, which is an unusual sensation for something in your ears.

It seems like tech companies all size their silicone ear tips differently, and foam tips, as good as they can be, don’t always solve the problem. Not everyone has an easy time getting wireless earbuds to fit comfortably.
