How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a two-size ear-hook set that covers nearly every AirPods generation and includes a velvet storage pouch, choose Haireca 2; if you need a five-pair silicone ear-hook pack dedicated to Buds 4 with a sweat- and splash-resistant design, choose DIMITU 5pair.
• Haireca 2's biggest strength: one set gives you two sizes (large and small hooks) plus a velvet pouch, and it fits AirPods Pro 3, Pro 2, Pro, and AirPods 4, 3, 2, and 1.
• Haireca 2's biggest trade-off: it's a two-pair kit, so if you want a large stock of spare hooks, you'll run out sooner than with a bulk pack.
• DIMITU 5pair's biggest strength: five pairs of silicone hooks in one package, with water-resistant, sweat-repelling material that's easy to rinse clean.
• DIMITU 5pair's biggest trade-off: it's built specifically for Buds 4, so it won't cover the AirPods range the way Haireca 2 does.
• Who Haireca 2 is for: AirPods owners who want a tunable fit and a tidy way to store the hooks between workouts.
• Who DIMITU 5pair is for: Buds 4 users who want a big supply of replaceable hooks and don't mind a single-device fit.
Haireca 2 is the set I'd point to for anyone juggling more than one pair of Apple earbuds. The kit includes one pair of large hooks and one pair of small hooks, so you're not locked into a single fit — you pick the size that matches your ear and your earbuds. That two-size approach is the real story here. Ergonomic hooks only work if they actually sit against your ear the right way, and having both sizes in the box means you can adjust rather than guess.
The material is stretch silicone, which matters more than it sounds. Stretch silicone flexes with the shape of your ear instead of pressing hard against one spot, and Haireca describes the hooks as "light as a feather" — the whole set weighs about 9 grams, so there's essentially nothing hanging off your earbuds. The hooks are also washable, which is the practical detail people forget about: ear hooks collect sweat and skin oil, and being able to rinse them keeps them from getting slick and losing grip.
Who should skip it? If you own Buds 4 rather than AirPods, this isn't your product — the fit is designed around AirPods. And if you want a deep stock of identical spares rather than two sizes, a multi-pair pack makes more sense. Haireca also lists a 12-month warranty, which is worth knowing going in.
DIMITU 5pair: Who It's For
DIMITU 5pair is the volume play. You get five pairs of silicone ear hooks in one package, all designed for Buds 4. That changes the ownership experience in a simple way: you're not treating one pair of hooks as precious. Lose one on a run, drop one in a parking lot, or wear one set down until it stops gripping — you just grab the next pair. For people who use earbuds hard and often, that's a genuinely useful way to buy.
The material story here is about sweat and weather. DIMITU describes the silicone as skin-friendly and hypoallergenic, and specifically resistant to sweat, with water-resistant properties that repel sweat and light rain. The surfaces are smooth, which the brand says makes them quick to rinse with water. If you're the type who finishes a workout and wants to clean gear in ten seconds rather than scrub it, that smooth finish is the feature that matters.
DIMITU also leans into protection. The listing mentions shock absorption and abrasion resistance, and the ergonomic hook structure is aimed at keeping earbuds firmly in place during workouts, running, and outdoor activity — specifically guarding against accidental drops. That framing tells you who this is built for: commuters, gym-goers, and outdoor users who move around a lot and don't want to think about their earbuds.
The honest trade-off is scope. This is a Buds 4 product, full stop. If your household has AirPods, this won't help. And the listing itself notes that manual measurement allows for small size variance and that monitor differences can affect how the color looks in photos — a normal caveat, but worth reading if exact color matching matters to you. The color is listed as black, and the material is silicone throughout.
• Best for multiple AirPods models → Haireca 2. It covers AirPods Pro 3, Pro 2, Pro, and AirPods 4, 3, 2, and 1; DIMITU 5pair is Buds 4 only.
• Best for fit flexibility → Haireca 2. Two hook sizes in one box let you adjust rather than settle for one fixed size.
• Best for spare quantity → DIMITU 5pair. Five pairs means you can replace hooks as they wear instead of reordering.
• Best for sweat-heavy workouts and light rain → DIMITU 5pair. Its water-resistant, sweat-repelling silicone is the more explicitly weather-focused design.
• Best for storage and travel → Haireca 2. The velvet pouch keeps the hooks contained and clean in a bag.
• Best for easy cleaning → DIMITU 5pair, based on the smooth silicone surface the brand describes for quick rinsing — though Haireca's hooks are washable too.
• Best for a single, tidy kit → Haireca 2. One size pair on your earbuds, one spare size in the pouch, nothing else to manage.
• Best for a household that runs through accessories → DIMITU 5pair. A five-pair pack suits heavy, repeated use better than a two-pair set.
If I had to pick one, I'd buy Haireca 2 — but only because of the AirPods coverage. In my opinion, getting two hook sizes plus support for the whole AirPods line is the more useful package for most people, and the velvet pouch is a nice practical touch. If you own Buds 4 and you go through earbud accessories fast, DIMITU 5pair is the smarter buy: five pairs, sweat-resistant silicone, and no worry about replacing a lost hook. Match the product to your earbuds first, then to how hard you use them. And check the current price on Amazon before you commit, since both sit in the budget-accessory category.
Yes. Haireca lists compatibility with AirPods Pro 3, AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro, and AirPods 4, 3, 2, and 1. It's one of the broadest compatibility lists you'll find for ear hooks.
No. DIMITU 5pair is designed specifically for Buds 4. If you own AirPods, Haireca 2 is the one built for your earbuds.
Both are designed for sports, but DIMITU 5pair leans harder into moisture: its silicone is described as sweat-resistant and water-resistant against light rain, with smooth surfaces for quick rinsing. Haireca 2's hooks are washable stretch silicone, so they're easy to clean too.
Haireca 2 includes two pairs — one large, one small — in a velvet storage pouch. DIMITU 5pair includes five pairs, all sized for Buds 4.
Neither data sheet states whether the hooks fit inside a charging case with the earbuds, so I can't confirm that for either product. Plan on removing the hooks before charging unless you've verified the fit yourself.
