AirPods 3 vs AirPods Pro 2 500+ Days Later 

Thank you for the longer term review. It’s nice to see over just one week, one month, or 48 hour reviews.

Nice I’ve the 2 of them I keep going back the Air pods 3 because they are lighter , but the pros sounds better as you said thanks 👍

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.

Do the 3’s have BAD sound leakage or is it only at loud volumes

For us old guys, pros make pretty darn good hearing aids too.

I have both and the pro 2 takes the cake for me. The ANC is a game changer

I love both them. Usually I use the airpods 3 for calls, ma also I like the sound of AP3, for me better then Airpods Pro 1, but not better then Airpods Pro 2. I use AP Pro 2 for listen music and to exclude the world outside when I travel in train. The AP Pro 2 work fantastic, in particular with audiogram, performed by the app Mimi.

Had pro twos I don’t like the silicon, just ordered the third generation

I have the 3 and one of my ear canals doesn’t hold on to the pod very securely. My next set will be with the tips.

Against everyone's advice, I advised my friend (not a fan of in-ear earbuds) to replace his Airpod 3 that he was complaining about (difficult to be in his bubble in a fairly noisy environment), with Airpod Pro 2, but to use the xs tip contrary to what the tip test will tell him. Today, he is the happiest person. Thanks to the xs tip, it doesn't have an occlusion problem, it has more bass in the sound 🔊, but most importantly, in noisy places, it can be in its bubble thanks to the ANC. For those who will still have a slight occlusion despite the xs tip, just switch to transparency mode, it also gives a wider soundstage effect. Ps: he paid $180 for his Airpod Pro 2, not $250.

Well hope they make anc for Airpod 4. Still love the non plastic feeling with airpod 3 compared to the pro but the with ANC on pro, the choice is nice comfort feel with airpod3 with no ANC or the plastic rubber in your ear with ANC with the pros

I use gen 3 and I would say it's good even it doesn't have a silicon tip Im still able to hear good bass and good sound quality but I might choose pro cuz of the ANC and Transparency

I just cannot use the Pro 2 for calls, it's just an unpleasant experience to hear yourself muted or artificial, I use 3 for calls or in quiet environments as nothing beats not needing to shove something into your ear and the Pro 2 for most other things (and my Max when I want to really enjoy some music, they are still way better than Pro 2 for immersive sound). You really need all 3 :)

Need the silicon tips, to seal, and so they don’t fall out.

Pros are far better in every way. The silicone inserts are a must for not falling out, the sound quality is better, the noise cancelation is better ( to ignore the people at work that just won’t STFU ) and the better case design.

The AirPods 3 don’t hold a candle to the pro models

About the AirPods Pro second generation. I’m also annoyed by the chirping when charging, low battery, connecting and stuff like that, but I’ve disabled it in the settings and now it only makes the sound when I asked for it in the find my app since I misplaced them quite often.

How do you not find the speakers useful It have safed me multiple times from draining my AirPods battery completely dry

What about phone calls, zooms in the car at the cafe, haha😂

I’ve been using iems for a very long time, I got the AirPods Pro 2 and I love them, but they took so long for me to get used to, the silicone tips feel so awkward and I use silicon tips with almost all my iems, am I the only one who thinks the way they go in your ear is really weird

I have yet to purchase AirPods because of the concern I have that they will comfortably fit and never fall out. I stick with my PowerBeats with the ear hook for security. Anybody else have this issue?

Has anyone heard about using AirPods Pro as a hearing-aid substitute, or close to it?

Litteraly my brother has airpods 3 and i have airpods pros so this is gonna make me know if mine is better or his

Can't wait for Apple to release the AirPods 4 with USB-C Charging.

I don’t like ear tips, they always hurt my ears. And I have no need for noise cancelling. Plus, I wear one Air pod all day because my iPhone is my business phone. I’m not a big music aficionado, but I am satisfied with the sound on the AirPods 3 when watching a movie. People can’t tell I’m using AirPods. The sound quality is perfect for my use case.

The pros are a life saver on a long flight with a screaming baby on the plane

For me the original airpods are even more comfortable. AirPods 3 are a middle ground between sound quality + features vs. comfort for me.

I’m a musician and bought both the AirPods 3 and Pro 2 last year and A/B’d them for a week. To me the 3s sounded much better. It would be great if they were noise cancelling, but the high frequencies specifically sound much better to me on the 3s.

I really hate this silicone things¡ it hurts so much !

I bought it at the dollar store for $4 and it's the same and works great.

You really can't compare them, sound quality, comfort, control, everything is better from the Pro 2

Never choose AirPods 3. I have all the AirPods, and I actively avoid them. Just get the Pro 2 or if you don't want to seal the ear, get the AirPods gen 1 or 2.
