I'm pleasantly surprised! - AirPods 3rd Generation Review 

I freakin love that MA sometimes films outside. Vancouver is such a beautiful city

2:32 "DO YOUR WORST" LMAO

The production quality is next level.

"welcome might I suggest you an iPhone" that got me off guard lmao 7:24

It's kinda funny that the AirPods Pro is now cheaper on Amazon than these, at 159 bucks, compared to 169 bucks for these. As a happy owner of the AirPods Pro, I'd happily choose the Pro over these any day, especially since they're cheaper now.

Honestly… I know most RU-vidrs keep proclaiming that the AirPods Pro are sooo much better, but I can’t stand ANY earbuds with silicone tips, and I’ve tried a lot. I have yet to find any that don’t irritate my ears or fall out, so that’s why I stick with regular AirPods. I even got a headphone jack version of wired Apple EarPods to use with non-Bluetooth devices just because Apple is the only company that can get silicone-less earbuds right.

The quality of these videos is literally the best in all of LMG

I'm from the time before silicone tips became a thing and there's a good reason they're in almost every earbud today. I remember the first time I was able to use my first sony earbuds with silicone tips, and OMG, it was a complete game changer, suddenly I could hear amazing music coming from my discman like never before, I could hear amazing highs and lows, I could hear amazing things no matter if I was on the bus, school or just in my room enjoying the possibility of hearing things I've never heard before on my favorite tracks. I never went back to not silicone tips earbuds and I'm just restarting to discover open, over-the-ear headphones, but the silicone tips gave something to earbuds cheap and high-end that wasn't there before. The new airpods have an "innovative" form factor that I'm sure helps to bring the quality of audio to a non silicone tip design better, but I'm also sure it just can't get to the same level, it's interesting that these type of earbuds are getting popular specially in the apple community, but I would never go back to an earbud that doesn't get me the same audio experience than silicone tips can give you

It’s nice to see a refresh in the base model, especially the AirPods Pro like design

I traveled to Vancouver in September and stayed in Surrey during my trip (a lot farther than I expected…), but this is the first video I’ve seen from LMG that I recognize the location, knowing that the LMG offices are in Surrey. I’ll never forget those double bridges with one for cars and the other for the metro/subway.

3:00 I believe flatter sound on the AirPods Pro is a feature I love that they sound closer to proper monitoring headphones rather than injecting frequencies I didn't ask for

Love your videos. Covered it from every angle possible. The ear wax part was unreal. Great production value. NEAT

Great Review. Love the production quality on these videos.

I have a pair of the 3rd gen and yeah, I love the fact I can get good quality audio, without the pressure of noise cancellation and discomfort of the rubber tips. For them select needs along with the apple ecosystem stuff, they're honestly the best thing ever

I would love these. Just for the form factor. But the added fun sound… that’s another bright side. I have the Airpods Pro but I recently started mixing between using it and my OG wired Earpods. Man this design may be a bad fit for some people, but I love it and when it works, it REALLY works.

I’m so glad that these don’t have silicone tips and that in general apple provides these. I can’t use silicone tips, my ear canal is too weird for them and they fall right out, they don’t hold in my ears at all. But these are *SO* comfortable, so nice, and so pleasant to wear over longer periods of time. I’m really happy that apple is one of those companies that gives us the choice because not everyone can wear silicone / gummy tips.

I didn‘t realize you lived in the Vancouver area! So cool, hope you‘re safe during the crazy weather recently.

Just got a pair to replace my failing first gens and they’re great. The sound is noticeably better but it is a little more difficult to hear the outside world, even when they aren’t playing anything compared to 1st gen.

PC user thats shopping for an iPad (and some airpods) over here! I just want to say how great this channel is. There's a lot of either "too enthusiastic" Apple die-hard reviewer or, on the other end of the spectrum, Apple haters reviewers out there. But not much quite like Jonathan and Mac Address. Aside from the obvious high production quality and attention to details, I like how you bring a great balance of understanding how great the Apple experience can be, but without getting too "fanboy" and still pointing out their flaws. Thanks for this quality content and I'm looking forward for what comes next!

I love that LMG has someone that understands the eco system and what it feels like to be an Apple user. Basically the opposite of james.

The editing is so good!

Your style of reviews are amazing. Storytelling camera quality. Camera movement etc

The battery in the case of my 2nd gen let go a few days ago. I’m in love with the 3rd gen. I’ve now had all 3 and always been happy. The pros have those silicone tips which for a segment of the population who have higher water content in their ear wax, are deeply uncomfortable.

Excellent video as usual! 👌🏼 Could you tell us more about the issues you experienced between AirPods and the 24" iMac please?

ok so at 1:59 when that airpod activation sound played i joined a discord call at the EXACT second and the airpod sound and discord sound played in absolute harmony and it was amazing

I love the sound of this…im using this for 3 days now from airpods 2 user, it was a big leap, from design and sound quality

This channel is the best addition to LMG by far. Quality content!

I just started watching Mac Address yesterday on a lazy Saturday. Despite being all-in on non apple products (aside from my iPhone) I’m still captivated by Jonathan as a presenter. It’s a great plus that my girlfriend can watch and actually get interested in a tech video too. You guys kill it on MAC addresses. I don’t know if it’s just being an underdog to LTT that makes you go above and beyond, but I’m marathoning these videos and I can’t wait for more.

Thanks, this is just what I was waiting for ( just ordered mine)

Great voice recording while outside! And great quality!

The more videos Jonathan posts, the more I like his style. Those vids are on another level. Somewhat similar to mkbhd style ❤️

I got these for myself recently, I tried the linkbuds but they just wouldn’t stay in my ear. I got lucky and got a new pair for £130, for comparison in the UK my local store sells the older AirPods for £119 so I feel I got a good deal. I’m quite happy with them and the Apple magic is quite nifty with my iPad.

"If you use an Oneplus phone, but you're watching Mac Address so you probably don't have an Oneplus phone and if you do: Welcome, might I suggest an iPhone?" *Me looking at my Oneplus 2* My Oneplus 2: don't you dare

Seriously nailed this subject down for me. I will upgrade from my typical AirPods to these. Thank you 😊

i have airpods pro and purchased third party foam tips to go with them. they’re awesome, the silicon ones kept falling out unlike the foam ones

Yep. That’s me, always wearing my AirPods Pro’s in transparency mode. I feel like I’m missing out on the world around me if I can’t hear it. When I had first gen AirPods I would always wear just one so the other ear was open. I can never go back to earbuds that don’t offer some sort of transparency.

the quality of the production is amazing, i dont even have an apple device, but i love this videos

I bought AirPod Pros and they sounded really good and best thing was the way they release the pressure from your ear. Unfortunately they didn't fit my ears. I needed to adjust them all the time, even with 3rd party ear tips, so I sold them. Good thing is that they keep their value :D Maybe I could try these AirPods, but I would like to have ANC.

This is a great pair of buds, the spatial audio feature is awesome 😎

I prefer silicon tipped ear buds because it naturally isolates the outside sounds by blocking them via the silicon tip. It also doesn't hurt my ears the way the molded ones do while fitting perfectly.

They are pretty great for those of us who hate IEMs but still want some earbuds that sound good and are pocketable. While I wouldn't call them audiophile they do sound pretty good when compared to my X2HR's that I use at my desk. I was lucky though the fit is good for me and they don't seem to fall out. No isolation at all though like wearing open back headphones you hear EVERYTHING around you. My only real complaint is I wish apple would come up with a way to replace the batteries since they will end up being replaced I'm guessing in 2-4 years.

I have these as my first wireless earphones and the only issue I have with these so far is, that I fling them across the room occasionally when taking off my face mask in a hurry

After watching this video, I might have to cop a pair of the 3rd gen AirPods. I currently own the pros but I mainly use transparency mode most of the time plus they get earwax more easily

....the outdoor audio is GREAT on this vid...

perfect fit , it just fells out every time i glance at my phone in my hand:) returned

I like the sound cut in the edit when talking about connection problems

I was like that photo looked familiar, oh yeah, I have those! When he played the AirPod sound, I thought it was mine Lol!

Silicon tips always really hurt my ears. I have an android phone, but would seriously consider these. Would have been nice if you'd briefly mentioned which of the features are iPhone-only. I have over-ear headphones for when I want ANC

They are so close to perfect, and besides the ANC/transparency they feel to reproduce the same audio as the pro. With the small dealbreaker detail that my ear kicks them out every 10 minutes so I had to return them. I wished they kept the same form factor.

GAHH PTSD from that bluetooth cutting out when you were discussing it....as I listen on BT Sennheisers!

The quality of these video's are great! keep up the good work!

The cinematography and the narration is great. IEMs with sillicone tips and a wire. I am not willing to use wireless because of batteries and most importantly latency. Any latency above 0.1 second is noticeable to me.

Im still rocking my first gen pods

Pleasantly surprised to get a OnePlus Buds Pro recommendation while watching an Airpods 3 review. Just got mine last week to match my OnePlus 9 Pro. Haven't used it much yet but I'm pleased with how it is and the glowing reviews it's getting, and hey, LDAC. Also managed to get for around 90bucks on sale with a pair of bullets type c. Certainly a good deal

This channel is sooo enjoying to watch

I know some people hate them, but I have a pair of Galaxy buds live and I love them, they fit my ear perfectly and a way more comfortable than my old silicon tipped earbuds

Thanks for the chuckles

Loved this video!, while I love the AirPods Pro ANC the tips just don’t fit my ear, at the gym I have to use wings tips so they don’t fall with all the sweat, AirPods 1st Gen had the best fit for me, might try this ones, anyways are you making an iPhone 13 Pro video???

I experience this…… it seems like the sound came from outside…it was soooo cool

I still think the Beats PowerBeats Pro are the best overall w-iems. Perfectly acceptable sound, easy to use controls, and an ear hook. The battery life is above average, but so is the case size.

Sounded amazing, were so uncomfy had to return them. Just bought a new pair of Gen2 to replace my dead gen1

Like the AirTags, the AirPods 3/pro/Max also participate in the Find My network

Just want to say that I am a PC and Android guy, but your content is next level. I watch every video.

I should have watched this before getting the airpods pro, but I don't regret the purchase, they go right in the pocket next to the galaxy buds2

I wish I can test out a pair of Airpods/Airpods Pros to see if they can at least fit inside of my ears. My ears aren't friendly to earbuds, and I need to stick to (over-the-ear) headphones but then my ears get sweaty.

Awesome content as always.

7:24 this made me smile :D These videos are just so well done and entertaining with these little jokes

May I suggest the Soundpeats TrueAir2, perhaps it's a good alternative

That park in New West is a beauty

I'm watching this with my s9+ thank you very much

Iam a non-appler. I initially checked out Mac Address because I enjoy the other LTT channels, and I do like staying somewhat connected to the Apple universe. That being said 👏👏 to your " Might I suggest an Iphone " line.

How long you have to wait, just to be able to shoot the video outside? It has been raining these past few weeks in Vancouver.

MacAddress is the best LMG channel. Hands down. Great job, Jonathan!!

I really like this channel and Jonathan is a great host imho. Great job!

I'd like to get a pair of these or the pros, but my Jabra 65ts are still going strong after over 5 years so it'd be a waste.

THANK YOU for talking about price. So many reviews (mainly from the big players *cough* MKBHD *cough* completely ignore price with Apple products (and their other products). I love that you acknowledge the price, put it into context, and admit that they are pricey (like most Apple items :P) I'm not really an Apple fan, but this channel is GREAT

make them type C and I'll buy them. For now, I'll keep the normal wired ones that came with my iPhone 6S, since I prefer non rubber tip earphones, and my android phone still has a headphone jack

MA most case shooting outside. It feels much vivid on the big display.

Love the intro

The weird thing is that according to the credits this video was made by the exact same people as normal LMG videos, but somehow it has this much more personal tone. The other LMG videos often feel like high quality factory products whereas Max Address videos are artisan products.

They are on sale for 150$ right now. I bought them hoping they will fit more comfortably in my ear than either the pro or originals.

The Beats Studio buds I think are an amazing alternative

I think I would go with the Beats Fit Pro True Wireless Earbuds as I have always had to add third party earhooks on to my Apple products to make them work the way I wanted. Wish the Apple case for the AirPods could allow for me to keep the third party earhooks on while I put them in the case.

One Plus phone user here, thank your for your hospitality....... No I dont think I will switch to iPhone lol To be fair tho every phone that came out in the last two years is very boring to me and Im gonna stick with my OP7Pro for a while. Battery health still at 90% too after 2 years of daily use.

Omg it’s so obnoxious when my Pros disconnects from my iPhone for my iPad when someone is calling me and then my MacBook M1 takes over randomly and I’m struggling to listen to Spotify while I’m focusing on a project

I use the airpods pros with complie foam tips with ANC always on. Couldn't be further away from the non pros

I love the sound over the last gen.. I love the features over the last gen. But the things will NOT stay in my ear. Its so disappointing. Esp since I sold my gen 2's before getting these. Now I've got to go and buy some gen 2's.. again.

Running out of budget, is it still recommended to buy 2nd generation AirPods?

As much as I love apple I never cared or was interested in air pods… until I got some of the first Gen ones for free and their comfort, convenience, and ease of use is really unmatched for an iPhone user

what about the High Pitched noise in the right side? that many are reporting.

Oneplus user here 👀 the buds pro are amazing using them for about 2 months now.

Does AirPods Max still way ahead better than these or close enough that doesn't make sense to spend so much?

You can swap for third party foam tips on AirPods Pro.

I just use one of those attachment to further secure the airpods if i was using it for sports

Видео на Mac Address ощущаются, как бы так сказать - более профессиональными даже в сравнении с основным каналом ltt, не говоря уже о других каналах, так же присутствует стиль или шарм превосходящий всяких MKBHD и подобных. Хорошая работа ребята, так держать!

8:15 Evergreen shipping container!

I hate the feeling of the AirPods Pro because of the silicone tips... I hate introducing things into my ear canal. I love the feeling of AirPods 1 and 2... I wonder how different the 3rd gen is in terms of fitting?

def an underrated channel

I use a MacBook Pro, an old iPad Pro and a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra phone. The S21 Ultra came with the Buds Pro, but I don't really like in ears, so I didn't use those a lot yet. Also: for noise cancelling, my over ear Sony WH-1000XM3 phones are way better than any in ears! So, I found a deal on the Air Pods 3 and I decided to give it a try. They do sound a lot better than I expected! And they are far less annoying than in ears. Battery life is very good. In only use them with the Mac and the iPad, but that's fine. Just one con: they are not very firm in the ears. If you shake your head, they will not fall out immediately, but I had them fall out spontaneously already, just because they tend to move a bit in my ears while I wear them.

I wish I had the money for these I still have the og airpods and all I have is one airpod cuz I lost the other one ;(
