Airpods Comparison: Which One Is Right For YOU? 

What do you guys think of spatial audio? Curious if anybody out there uses it 🤔

Sometimes I just click on this guy's videos to hopefully give him a little more traction. I don't even need earphones.

I bought the Pros a couple of months ago and I absolutely love them. At first they were a little uncomfortable to wear because my ears hadn't conformed to the yet, but after a couple of weeks I would forget that I had them on! And ANC was a must for me, since I walk in noisy environments often. I don't regret purchasing them, and I wouldn't trade them for anything! (unless they made new Pros that were better enough for me to want to pay $250 again)

I actually own all three types and I must say: the pros are great, but I just don’t like the silicone tops, while I like the size of them. The first generation is pretty okay. First time listening with them was incredible, but for me personally fits the 3rd. the best! The bass is also very nice

Yesterday, I got the AirPods Pro 2 (with the lightning cable MagSafe case). I absolutely adore them. The ANC and Transparency mode are spectacular on those earbuds. I had the AirPods 3 before, but decided to upgrade to the Pro 2’s. Despite both of them being similar, it was worth upgrading from the 3’s to the Pro 2’s. I use the Pro 2’s for school, but mostly as my regular earbuds. The ANC really helps drown out the noise of the students in the classroom talking and being loud while I’m concentrating on my school work. The Pro 2’s fit my ears much better than the 3’s, the 3’s use to be a bit uncomfortable and fall out at certain times, while I don’t have either of those issues with the Pro 2’s. Highly recommend upgrading from the 3’s to the Pro 2’s in my opinion, but if you already have the 3’s and don’t consider upgrading, then don’t upgrade.

I love how every comparison video I watch about the different AirPods features the fact that apparently the gen 2 are not waterproof when I literally had them in the washing machine thrice at this point and they still work perfectly fine. Obviously, I do not recommend putting your AirPods in the washing machine, but they will definitely survive your workout sweat.

I started with the normal AirPods and then after 1,5 years I got the Pro’s and I absolutely love them! The noise cancelling also works veryyyy good.

Anyone still watching in 2024? 👍

I’ve had the pros since December 2019 (although I’ve had to have some replacements) and while they fit good, I’ve used their EarPods (Identical shape to gen 1/2) and they fit so much better. If they shortened the stem and updated their internals I would switch without hesitation.

I’ve had the AirPods Pro’s since a little after they came out (at the end of 2019). They were expensive coming in at 400 dollars Aussie but they’ve been worth it for me. The case has been fully submerged in water, fallen off 3 stories of scaffolding, been left on top of plastic all day in 35 degree heat, and the pods are even more resistant. Probably have fallen through the stairs right to the bottom about 15 times but apart from the microphone having a small dent they work fine. My left one fell into the crevice of an elevator down 7 floors, and I wasn’t able to get it until 2 weeks later when they serviced it. Worked fine.

I got a pair of AirPods Pro for Christmas today and I absolutely adore them! I didn't want regular AirPods as to me they seemed too much like EarPods, and I wanted something that could block out sound. The ability to switch from noise cancellation to transparency mode is SO COOL and I've been playing around with it all day!!! Finally I can block out all the external sound when I want, and hold a conversation when I want, all while listening to music!! 😍😍

This might be the most helpful product review I have ever watched. Informative, concise - love it!

Love how you did the side-by-side comparisons of mic in the same environment.

I recently went from wired apple earbuds to Airpod Pros and the noise cancellation was a lifesaver. As someone who gets overwhelmed by noise very easily, the noise cancellation really helped with being in public spaces and travelling. Never goin back lol

I was blown away by the Noise Cancellation on the Airpods Pro. Combined with the fact that I like the seal of the Silicone tips. I chose Pros over gen 2s.

I kinda wanted to go for the 3rd generation, but the silicone tip and ANC was too much and I got the pros. Honestly super happy with them!

i recently got the airpod pros and i've fallen in love with them, i especially wanted it mainly because of the silicone tips since i find that they're comfortable for me and they don't fall out that much. i also love the noise cancellation, i find its really nice especially when i'm trying to study, i have used these on the plane before and i can just say that they're amazing :)

I have the AirPod pros and love them so much! The original earbuds that Apple make always slip out of my ears so I got the pros because they have silicone covers and they stay in well! They also come with other silicone cover sizes in case the ones that are on them don’t fit. I really really like the noise canceling feature as well! I have sensory issues (not diagnosed with anything) and for me this feature makes such a huge difference. It doesn’t block out all noise but it does a good job muffling most of it, and it does even better with music playing.

This is such a polished and well-done video. I expected you to have at least 500k subs. You’re definitely going places.

Love how thorough you are..was really confused and didn't want to spend foolishly. Thank you for helping me make a decision.

One of the smoothest vids nice music & voice & clear

I was gifted the Pros nearly 3 years ago & they’re great . I use them every single day. I have tiny ears & they’re comfortable to wear for hours upon hours, I think the silicon tip helps with that (I did switch it to the smallest size). They work just as good as the day I got them! I accidentally dropped one in a cup of coffee once, rinsed it with fresh water, & made sure it dried for over a day before putting it back in the case/using it again. Couldn’t believe it still worked

Which one is right for me? surely not those overpriced stuff right there, i'm more than cool with my propulse pods bro, i swear no one ever told the difference from the real ones

You clearly researched very thoroughly on the features, prices, and basic knowledge overall. You've definitely persuaded me to buy the airpods 3. I know I've made a great choice thanks to you. Your content's awesome by the way

For me I personally choose fitment, I find the 3’s harder to stay in my ear so I returned them. The pros didn’t really make a huge difference… So I also returned it, that’s why till this day I just stuck with my Air Pods 2! Still using them till this very day.

I love how you always get to the point and keep us entertained without going off-topic. I learned everything I need to know, thanks for your research and amazing review! *first video I watched from you and I subbed*

Great video :) I really love the sound of my airpod 3s but I just wish the size was smaller! Obviously, like you said, that's down to different ear shapes, but the 3s just aren't as comfortable as the 2s for me and it's very disappointing. Also, I actually preferred the tapping to change song, now I seem to accidentally pull the airpod out of my ear when changing song!

Thanks for the info, I had already purchased the Airpods Pro and didn't know the difference. I purchased them because Amazon had them on sale and I love them.

I tried both the pros and 3s. I found that they were nice, yes, but they kept falling out of my ears and it annoyed me. I just went back to the 2s and I couldn’t be happier. They’re just simple and the best version for me.

I have the 3rd gen air pods and my only complaint is the fitment. It hurts one ear and it falls out of my other one . But I can say there are durable they have yet to come apart upon hitting the ground.. honestly the optimal AirPod for me was probably the gen 2’s, loved those.

I have the first gen AirPods and the battery has gotten so bad. So for me I would definitely get the 3rd gen simply because it would prolly age the best and I don’t wanna have to replace my AirPods again anytime soon

Thank you for this! I needed this info!

I just got the pros for Black Friday and I immediately loved them. I was surprised how well the the noise canceling works. The fist time I used them was in a crowded store so it caught me a bit off guard when it went from noisy store to almost complete silence

You absolutely right it all depend on everyone ears when it comes to AirPods I do own the first generation AirPods although it don’t do voice call activation but overall everything else is excellent for it price range plus sound.

This was super helpful ! Thanks so much !!! You have a calming voice BTW :)

Good simple informative content. Great job. Thank you

amazing quality vid! and thank you so much for the straight-to-the-point comparison! might get the AP 3s for New Year's sometime after as sound quality is super imp to me. subbed!

7:30 you're the first one talking about the fit wisely that I know. Thanks for the video.

Quick and straight to the point , definitely following this page for more tech videos

this helped A LOT. thank you so much!! 💛

I have the pros and just bought the 3. I prefer the AirPods 3. The fit does seem a little better, but I think it’s more in my head. My 3’s have never fallen out. I like that the 3’s have better battery life and the case being a little smaller. I’m not sure why, but my 3’s seem to connect faster and connect easier to my PC at work for meetings. Also, MagSafe charging is great too.

Always excited when you drop a video 🤩🤩🤩 I was just looking for a comparison video. This came just in time

Thanks for your review! It was informative and very pleasant to watch, there wasnt parts where I wanted to skip! You’re really good for explaining :)

Great vid Joshua. I had the Gen 2 and upgraded to the Gen 3 based on your vid.

I have the 2nd gen, lost one pod and bought the 3rd gen, my sons had the pros. I love listening to music on the 3rd gen however, I think the 2nd gen stay in my ear the best and are the most comfortable. I found my lost pod for 2nd gen and considered returning the 3rd gen but music does sound better with them so I think I’m going to keep the 3rd for home and use the 2nd at work for work calls and multitasking.

Bro, I’ve had the original AirPods for almost 4 years now. Still kickin 😳

Thanks very insightful. I am new to these and one glaring omission from your analysis was the ability for the airbuds to remain in your ears while walking or running. I know you talked about comfort, but knowing that they won't fall off is a good criteria for selection.

this is the first video of yours i've seen, really good quality, i just suscribed !

real talk where’s his subs. this quality is insane and he gets straight the point quickly and honestly.

Just bought the 3rd gens and I love them. Great to see you break everything down

Thanks for that detailed information. 👏🏾😉👌🏽

Great quality video, super informative and helpful! 👍🏼

I loved the 1/2’s they fit like a gem and were supper easy to use. I got the pros but ended up selling it to one of my friends because I just didn’t find myself liking the ear tips. They fit fine it’s just that after a solid half hour, they start slipping from my ears. I just couldn’t see myself staying with them. Just got the 3’s and I absolutely love these. These fit amazingly in my ears, maybe even better than the 1/2’s (in my ears)

This is the first vid iv watched of yours and id say you present a very professional overview of the products. Thanks for the content mate and I’m a new subscriber now 👍

dude ik this video is a year old, but GREAT fucking video. this is EXACTLY why i was looking for and you absolutely killed the delivery of all the information. you spoke very clearly, video looks phenomenal. thank you! subscribed and looking forward to more!

Siiiick editing maaan hahaha your videos are as fun and engaging as the other big tech channels. I hope ur channel gets big soon!! Definitely subscribing.

Listening to this on the Pros rn. Recommend them, it is really comfortable and the noise cancelation is amazing. I’ve dropped it once in water before and still worked after 5 minutes of drying.

Great vid Josh! I gotta get one of those Nomad cases, they seem really nice.

Great informative video! Best one I found so far Keep up the good work!!

Thank you for this comprehensive comparison!

Great quality! You deserve way more attention!🤟

This was a PERFECT explanation for me! I’m so clear on what I need now. Thanks!

Excellent presentation (Quality, content and “listenability”)

Awesome review! Thank you so much for helping me choose!🙌❤️

This was exactly the information that I was looking for, thanks for a concise and informative video :)

As a university student, upgrading to the pro's was definitely well worth it.

Thank you for this exceptional and very clear and informative review Joshua!! I really appreciate it and wish you all good things!

Love both 3s and pros. Pros have great noise isolation and active noise cancelation. Great if you need to out environment. Best outdoor/travel pair… but on a plane I still prefer big beefy bose 3s have less isolation but at home in a quiet environment that doesn’t need noise isolation or cancelation… the lack of silicone locking moisture in your ear make them a great at home pair.

recently got the the 3rd gen for christmas and this definitely helped me decide whether to keep them or upgrade to the pros!

Apple totally missed the opportunity to have removable silicone tips so you can either opt to have ANC or not any time of the day. I would love to have the airpods pro but I use headphones all the time now especially due to online classes so those silicone tips will definitely hurt. On the other hand using the airpods 3 doesnt feel immersive when I want to listen to music or watch a movie and you can still hear noise. The airpods 3 design is basically just a pro without the silicone tips.

It was a good and useful comparison, thank you for that. Keep going strong ♥️💪🏼

Literally exactly what I wanted to watch. Solid video dude thanks

I’ve got 1st generation (still work well all these years later - even lost one under the washing machine for 6 months and still survived) and have the pro ( probably a couple years ago). They both are pretty good. I do find the 1st gen are more comfortable and if I just want to use them at night I go for them. But for the the pro is not to bad to wear either. Their battery life is like new but the 1st I probably only get about 1ish hours before they need to go back in the case for a quick charge.

omg i didn’t even notice you only have 50k until you said it. YOUR UNDERRATED BRO. keep going you can make it to 100k :)

thank you for this i was disiding weather not to do the pros or the 3's and this helpd me deside to get the threes

I have very small ear canals and the silicone tips were a dealbreaker for me when I got a pair last year. I was using standard wired earbuds until I got my iPhone XR. The 2s have been a lifesaver and I completed my trifecta with a series 7 watch last month. I am so very happy with these mom hack level devices ❤️

I purchased the AirPod 3's when they 1st dropped last October. Within a few days they hurt my ears so bad that I developed a small sore inside each of my ears where the plastic earbud was rubbing against my ear. The earbud on the 3's are much larger than the 2's (so they were rubbing against a spot in my ear that I never had to worry about before). However, I must admit that I do have kinda small ears. I returned the AirPod 3's after about 4 or 5 days and paid a little extra for the AirPod Pro's and I like them much better. They just seem to fit better in my ears because the rubber tips fit in my ears perfectly, and it keeps the hard plastic part from rubbing against my ears in that one sensitive spot. Also, the noise cancellation comes in handy big time!

Honestly amazing quality. Keep uploading! You’ll surely hit 100k way before the end of the year with these type of videos!

Just found this channel, everything was objective, no cringey jokes and straight to the point … “subscribing”

Thanks so much, you helped a lot 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

this video deserves so much more views (currently at 500k) his description is amazing, love the comparisons. Definitely going for the Pros

I’ve been using propulse pods for a little over 3 years now and I am very happy with them. they do a great job. they do have some minor issues at times, but in the end they’re still my favorite earphones. I don’t think any other earphones under 70$ are able to compare with the propulsepods.

Love your outfit in this video, also nice vid

Great video! Very comprehensive yet efficient.

I just bought the AirPod 3s & I’m in love with them! I lost my first set of AirPods (2s), but when it came time to buy new ones i wasn’t a fan of the silicone tips on the pros so i figured I’d wait to see if Apple came out with a better alternative. The AirPod 3s are perfect in my opinion. Great content! Thanks for the tips. ❤️

Professional video but less view. Sometimes its getting harder to understand RU-vid algorithm. You absolutely should keep doing your videos. I am pretty sure you will gain too much view and subs. Great work 👍

you're videos are awsome keep it up!

Congrats for more than 100000 subscribers!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

Bought the AirPods Pro in September and these things are amazing. Can’t even feel em, loud and clear. I highly recommend you buy the pros as the others look a lot easier to slip out your ears

Thanks for the informative vid ! Trying to decide which pair to buy : think I’m going with 2nd gen because I’m used to the fit from wired Apple EarPods

Thanks, just the info I was looking for.

Thanks man, i was thinking about getting pros and that really helped me out.

Recently got the Pros and I absolutely love them! This is my first time using in-ear headphones and it definitely took me some time (about a week) to get used to the fit, but once I did they became so so worth it. I sometimes even forget I have them in, and the fixed surround sound setting just works amazingly for me sound wise and makes it feel like the music is all around me instead of coming from inside of my head. They did fall out quite a bit at first, but that was because the medium tips were too big for my ears and now that I’ve switched to the small they have an amazing seal and don’t fall out at all :) For those worried about them falling out, don’t-all you need is to use the tip size that best suits your ears. I really do not regret a single cent I spent on these.

ordered my pros a few days ago, can’t wait to get them tomorrow!

Subscribe of the back of this video I like reviews that are straight to the point and easy to understand… great work mate 👍🏻

Thank you so much for that awesome info!! Now I know which upgrade I will choose.

I’ve had the gen 2 since it came out but I just bought the gen 3 and love it! I feel like it’s an amazing update and redo!

Back when they used to give you the free earbuds with your Apple device, I always left them unused because they would always fall out of my ears, as I have small ears with basically no earlobe. I now have the pro AirPods and the only time they fall out is when my ears have wax in them and make things slippery. I probably wouldn’t have this problem with the normal earbuds since they don’t have silicone. But then again the normal ones wouldn’t stay in so the pro was the right choice for me. I’ve really enjoyed them.

Had the airpods 1st gen since they first were introduced and just lost it couple days ago. definitely worth upgrading to the 3rd gen. Thanks Joshua for the in depth description.

This was a very detailed review! Thank you!
