ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
AirPods 3 Review
What’s New?
Similar to AP Pro but open design like the AP2
33% shorter stem
Magsafe on case
AdaptiveEQ, Spatial Audio, Force sensors,
DESIGN
Fit/comfort: these can be nice but they are not customizable
I can wear them for a while but if they are not perfectly placed, my ears hurt after about two hours
These are sort of more secure than the AP Pro for me (left bud always slips out if I am talking on the phone)
Now an optical skin sensor for more accurate auto play/pause
This is a nice thing I didn’t even know I needed
Vents for sound and mics
Lightning on case, but also MagSafe and Qi charging
IPX4 resistant (mediocre for buds)
Case is also IPX4 (that is cool)
6/30 hour battery (good but without ANC I kind of expected better)
Aesthetics??
AUDIO QUALITY
Bluetooth 5.0
Mono mode works just fine
Can’t really customize EQ easily
Can easily be altered by the way you wear these
Adaptive EQ
Very little isolation (no transparency mode of course)
More spatious and airy
Pretty nice clarity and nice bass, although it is
The vocals from The Weeknd in Kanye’s song Hurricane are vibrant and lively
In Color by My Morning Jacket sounds warm and rich
You can hear his hand sliding on the guitar, but the instrument and vocal separation gets weak in the chorus
Overall pretty nice balance
You lose some low level detail on the cymbals and hihats
The open design has me listening at a slightly higher volume and I am someone who never does that. If you are hard of hearing, these might not be the loudest pick
SOUND BLEED?
MICROPHONE TEST
PROS
Open ear design
Shorter stem to match the pros
Smaller case with magsafe
Good sound quality (much better than almost all open earbuds)
Simple earbuds that just work
Can listen with wet ears (e.g. after shower, swim workout, etc.)
CONS
Cannot customize much with controls, fit, or EQ
No volume controls
Terrible isolation
Very high pitch ringing in the left bud
Pretty pricey for what you get in 2021/2022
Only one color
CONCLUSION
Although there are better deals out there, these are sort of in a class of their own. Besides the AirPods 3, there are not really that many premium open ear buds that fit well and sound as good as these. For anyone seeking an open ear design because you have sweaty ears, hate the feeling of silicone tips, or just want something that is quick, clean, and easy to use, these are the perfect solution you have been waiting for since the AirPods 2 came out.
These feel like a great pair of earbuds that lack many of the standard features we’re used to today like control customization, EQ, better water resistance, or lower prices. If you are not a feature junkie and just want a pair of buds that just work and have an open design, these are awesome.
