I've owned the OG's, 2 and Pro. The OG's and 2's were virtually identical but maybe a slight upgrade on the bluetooth range. Although they didn't have a seal, I loved how they just sat in my ears and didn't cause problems. Never fell out....even during Ultras. My 1's died after a while because the copper inside the charging pod oxidized and the contact had issues charging them. The 2's did the same after a while. Got really lucky with a heavily discounted pair of pro's...$90. Ha....brother had a corporate discount. Love them....however, strangely have had them start to slip out on very sweaty days. Great review!

Got mine as a Christmas gift yesterday. Compare with my sony’s with noise canceling, the 3’s are better. Better sound quality, lighter and more comfortable. Doesn’t feel as secure as the ones with silicone tips but way comfortable as you don’t have to put them further in. With the ones with silicone tips, I feel them all the time but with the 3s, I don’t really feel them on. Much comfortable. I prefer not having anc whether out running or inside the house. Like to hear the kids when they need something. And to hear vehicles and bicycle bells while outside. First time having airpods and I am really impressed. Only downside for me is the lack of volume adjustment. Yes, you can do it through siri but it’s not as good. You can start/stop on both sides. Don’t understand why they didn’t do start/stop on one side and volume on the other. Otherwise, im very satisfied. Thanks for the great video.

@jamesmchugo9422 2 года назад

Good review. I prefer the AirPods Pro, for all the reasons you sighted. Wind noise is a big one. The Pros with noise cancellation on do a good job of blocking out wind noise. Wearing a cap that covers the mic ports does an even better job. But running biking in the summer, who’s going to wear a cap. I also have Bose QuietComfort earbuds. Sound wise, Apple doesn’t have a chance going head to head with Bose. The Pros have good quality sound, that is better suited for acoustic listening and spoken word. But for full on music the Bose has better bass and treble. With crisp clean sound a full tight bass. For workouts though, I prefer the Pros. Especially in windy environments. The Bose, even with noise cancellation on, just doesn’t cut it. The wind blowing over the mic grills is crazy loud. Also, the Pros, if you have an Apple devices works hands free with “Hey Siri” I can change volume, mute, accept, make phone calls, switch listening modes, switch from active noise cancellation to turning it completely off and fast forward or reverse songs, switch to different songs and or albums or play lists all without using my hands, just say, “Hey Siri, turn up volume 10%” or “Hey Siri play (say the artist name, album title or song title)” for example and it happens. For that reason alone, if you have Apple products, the Pros are a must for your workouts.

Do the AirPods 3 work with Garmin watches? I read that you can't control the volume on some AirPods models from Garmin watches.

@feezee82 2 года назад

I have been using AirPods 1 & 2 for about 4 years now. Absolutely love them. The first pair did die after two years, but they never fell out and most times I can’t even feel they are in my ears. Unfortunately my ear holes are too small for Pro’s, so I can’t use any in-ear buds.

@Deadbuck73 2 года назад

I have pods n pro… love them both… I actually sleep with one pod and can listen to Kofuzi vlogs and soft music while I rest… they both work for running but I prefer the pros as they feel locked in better and I don’t have to adjust them at all… still amazes me that when I wake up the pod 99% of the time hasn’t fallen out of my ear!

@emmanouildanezis 2 года назад

Great video, as always, Mike! I would say, i have the AirPods 1, ordered the AirPods 3 but will return them to keep the 1s. Definitely from battery and specs perspective the 3s are much better. From a running perspective (and i am your average joe, that’s doing 5k every other day) i have couple of issues. They have removed the double tap and put the double click now. When i wear a beanie and gloves it is more difficult to press to skip a track, go back or pick up a call (i knew that before buying them but in practice it is trickier than I thought). And finally, the fit. I think Mike you mentioned that also. Compared to my 1s, the size of the earbud is larger and feels as it is about to fall off.

@gto4609 2 года назад

Idk man, i had the second gen and just upgraded to the 3 and the fit is better on the gen 3 for me ( neither ever fell out or felt like they were about to) but the 3 gen feels mor comfortable for the and the base is on another level but tbh if the battery was better on the 2 gen I wouldn’t have upgraded

@danny13188 2 года назад

I use my original AirPods version 1 and I loved to see if it’s worth the upgrade. I can’t do tips cause i sweat a ton and they always fall out.

@RunnerWil 2 года назад

Whatever Mic you're using for these vids has the perfect volume..

@kofuzi 2 года назад

so, the mic I use for my regular videos is a deity shotgun mic. I love it. it gives me no problems I bought a Shure mic to use for podcasts and interviews. sometimes, I plug it directly into the laptop. generally, I'm very happy with the sound. other times, like if I need multiple mics, I plug it into a sound recorder and then it goes into the laptop. that's when things get confusing for the live stream service that I use. what sounds great and normal to me sounds terrible for you guys. I'm still trying to figure it out.

I have both the 2’s and pros. I prefer the fit of the 2’s, don’t really like the pros ear tips but like the features. Not sure if i want to buy a 3rd pair but i would sacrifice features if the 3’s fit better than both previous versions….decisions

@Flikkey 2 года назад

Airpods 3. My first week with them and I’ve accidentally “dropped” them 3 times aka - they fell out. It happened once while running and I‘m constantly adjusting them so they don’t fall out. I‘m going to need to mod them with some grips or buds.

@francescodotx 2 года назад

@paulsammy2365 2 года назад

@@francescodotx Those were great - until I ran into lots and lots of problems with charging and one ear not working. Very frustrating when I want to go for a run but I need to stop to fiddle with the case to get a charge or unpair and repair and reset the device to get any sound. Many people complaining about this. I'm here trying to decide if I should replace them with Airpods or not.

@kimtruong4676 2 года назад

Mike, I tried running with Ipod Pros, and I was able to hear "Thud" sounds every time I takes a step. It's like I'm hearing my body muscles bounce up and down, or it could be that the earbuds are bouncing up and down in my ear canal. Would you give me a comparison of his ear bouncing up and down sound while you run?

@njdnjdnjd Год назад

the thud sound is a critical part of running ear phones. Not sure why so many reviewers don't even mention it.

@vessela7484 11 месяцев назад

Just as a side note, I don't know how it is in the States, but running in races with earphones is actually prohibited here, you will get a warning and maybe even a DQ. Frankly in an organized race I agree, even though I always run with music when training.

My runs are only 5 to 6 miles at most. I've owned AirPods 2 now AirPods Pro, the Pros stay in my ear a little better but for running I find JaBra Elite 65t and 75t Active never fall out or even loosen and can withstand torrential rainfall and even being submerged. The only reason I put up with Apples earbuds is because I'm totally in the Apple ecosystem. They make great phones, tablets, and laptops but their wireless earbuds are only ok and are almost necessary if you own numerous Apple devices. I've owned my 65t since shortly after they went on sale same with my 75t both ar e still functioning the same as when they were new. The left speaker on my AirPod 2 shorted out a little after a year of use and I had to send my Pro's to Apple for repairs after only a month of use and they still do mysterious things when I go to use them sometimes one bud will have 0 charge even though they have been in the case, and other mysterious issues

@kofuzi 2 года назад

As a Jabra elite 85t user and iPhone/iPad/M1 MacBook Pro/Apple Watch owner, I challenge the presumption that one therefore must have AirPods.

@denniszenanywhere 2 года назад

I'm surprised by this review. I thought you would choose Airpod 3 for running outdoors -- to be aware of your surroundings, like you'd like to hear a bike wheezing past you. A man talking to you. A car's horn that you need to hear when crossing the street. I thought those things would outweigh the wind noise for you. Hmm, interesting. I've never heard so many mixed reviews with Airpods 3 and Airpods Pro and I've seen many. This makes me think that it's ok if you sweat on your Pro.
