The real truth: the left side (stem down) is the designed way. Insert the AirPod, then rotate the stem toward your face until it sits snug. That matches Apple's official guidance for fit, sound, and sensors.
The right side (stem up) is a viral user hack. Some people find it locks better in their ears, but it isn't official and can throw off the mics and features.

Tell me the real truth? @grok
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Misleading. AirPods are designed with stems pointing downward. Rotating them upward may affect microphones, sensors, and noise cancellation. Some may find it more comfortable, but there’s no verified evidence it improves sound quality or performance.
