Watch before you buy! my Airpods 3rd Generation review 

I personally like to talk with my voice hole and breathe with my air holes

And there's the more fun review to be seen, yet another pair of in ear thingies not meant for my weird ears! Thanks Sara for keeping it real and honest.

Sara always bringing the quirky vibes and I love it.

I had the same issue. I tried 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen at the Apple store and the 2nd Gen fits my ears perfectly. Also, not sure if it was because I didn’t have much time with them but I preferred when spatial audio was off. Glad to find out I don’t need to spend the extra money for these features.

This is the kind of microphone test that I want!!!!!! Thank you for this!

Been here for her energy

Underrated account. Super good video. But yeah I had the 2s. Loved em. Got the 3s last week. Returned em yesterday cause no matter what they wouldn’t fit. Sucked cause the quality, battery and features were really nice. But fit is most important. Got a new pair of 2s tho. So we vibing. Love the dental floss case more as well. Love the design and fit. Love the sound. 2nd gen everytime.

I just bought them. I love the 3rd gen better than all of them. But that’s just my opinion. I took a bath three times so far and while listening to them, they stayed secured in my ears. Silicon tips effect my sensitive ears so the 3rd Generation was perfecto 🥰. Also funny when you said “Noise Hole” 😂😂😂

I’m with you on the second gen AirPods! I still even use my first gen even tho battery life only lasts 10 minutes now. Like you said, “maybe the best thing about it is that the second gen will be cheaper now” 😁 Very interested to see how the 3rd gen sound.

Interesting, I have larger (medium sized) ears and the AirPods 3rd gen fit me really well! Much better than the 1st and second gen. I also love my AirPods pro, they fit very well with the medium tips. I compared the sound to the 3's with the pros, and I don't know if it's because my pros are old and well used, but the 3's sound much better than the pros! I like the 3s for sitting at my desk in my busy household because I can hear everything that's going on without having to use transparency mode (which I am not a fan of). Love the magsafe too! It can stay in a vertical position.

Those peach airpod cases look so nice!!!

Airpods are just so practical. I thought I would rarely use them but I use them all the time

I just got the new AirPods 3rd gen coming from the 1st/2nd gen and while the fit is slightly larger, for me they still sit in my ears fairly comfortably. The only issue I’ve notice is that stem brushes up against my earring. But I love, LOVE, the sound improvements, oh my GOSH‼️‼️ listening to music with stereo sound is 🤯🤯 and the dynamic head tracking when watching movies is just *chefs kiss* and they feel better than AirPods Pro to me, I don’t like the in ear type of earbuds. These are a nice upgrade

Price point between the Airpods Pro and AirPods 3rd Gen is not that much difference though but I guess it all depends on the person's ear preference too. Very nice review Sara!

Thanks for focusing a lot on fit. The AirPods 2 always fell out of my left ear, so I bought the AirPods Pro. They fit well but still gave me discomfort due to the silicone tips. Just bought the 3’s because of your review.

I love the 2nd generation AirPods. Can't beat the cheaper price and they feel/sound great!

I bet that the reason they “cut off the world more” is that it is more essential, without ANC, to be able to fully appreciate the Spatial Audio experience. And I LOVE spatial audio in music, so if that might be their justification, it’d be worth it in my opinion. But I use both Pro (carry around with me everywhere) and Max (intentional listening).

I love my AirPods 3rd Gen. I have bigger ears, so they fit perfectly. The sound is excellent, and since I have a very nice pair of Sony headphones with noise cancellation, I don’t need the Pro model. I may be the wrong person to rate these since I went from EarPods to the AirPods 3 gen in a single jump without trying the other ones. Thanks for your review!

Just got mine yesterday n I love them. Sound so good

I’ve had my airpods 2 for about a year and I don’t think I will upgrade. She’s so funny and on point I hit like after 30s! Thanks for a great vid.

Let’s run with noise hole from now on! Love it!

Definitely getting a subscriber. Love your vibe

Thanks for the review! Unfortunately my “ear holes” don’t accept the Gen 3’s well either. I knew pretty immediately that they were not likely to work out well for me. When I first put them in, they not only felt “different”, they felt like they weren’t going to stay put very well in my ears. I also preferred the tap controls of the earlier versions as opposed to having to squeeze the stem. I’m often wearing gloves with my earbuds in and it would be a major pain to have to take my glove off in order to be able to feel the right part of the stem to squeeze…without knocking the earbud out of my ear. Not convenient for me. Tried the Beats Studio Buds too. Even with the smallest silicone tip, they wouldn’t stay put very well. But I did like the controls better. I’d accept “press” controls over squeeze any day. Guess I’ll have to try the Beats Fit Pro for a little more $$. If those don’t work out, I’ll probably just have to get AirPods Gen 2. I’ve had 2 sets of the originals and after about a year and a half they just stopped functioning correctly as far as Siri commands and dictation. I think they’re either built to fail or can be triggered to eventually fail through phone updates. Is it just me? Am I tripping?

Agree with the shape and hold of the new airpods in your ear. I had no issues with my airpods 2 but now with the airpods 3, I find them constantly falling out even with something as simple as bending over to grab something. It’s very frustrating and I’m sure they’ll break soon one they hit the floor enough times…

Sara, can you please ALWAYS include a PIP showing your funny reactions whenever you’re doing airpod mic tests? Sincerely, your fans ;)

Love the way my 3rd Gen fit my ears. My 2nd Gen Airpods fell out at the gym more often than I liked to remember.

Loved your review, Sara! I have tiny ears too and since I'm a new in this "apple world" product, I'll go with your advise and buy 2nd gen instead of the 3er gen!! Let's see how it goes! Thxs!!

Thanks for your honesty! This was helpful.

You have one of the most enjoyable personalities out of any reviewer. I love your videos. I had the 2nd gen and recently got the 3rd gen. The 3rd gen definitely sound better to my ears. I have larger “ear holes” so they fit me perfectly. I think the comparison is pretty easy at this point: If you have smaller ears, get the 2nd gen. They sound good and they’re very comfortable. If you have medium to larger ears, get the 3rd gen. They sound a little better and they’re also very comfortable.

Definitely I love the 2nd gen. They are comfy and a lot of times I forget that they are in and stays in my ears for hours even when not using it. I can’t keep airpod pro longer. After 2 hours I feel heavy and I feel relieved when I take them off. Hope Apple goes back to 2nd gen style. I don’t care about the stem.

It took me a couple of days to feel comfortable with them. I had to twist them around until they fit in my ear properly and now they're good. I almost returned them on the first day

So true at first I was uncomfortable with the fit on my ear but now it doesn't feel like that. It's my fourth day with them. Great review by the way.

Bought first pair of AirPods a few weeks ago - 3rd generation - so far so good, right pod fell out when I removed my face masks when I was outdoors - glad that I noticed and was quick to pick it up - someone walking past and almost stepped on it - decided to get one of those rope holder cable Thingy - waiting for it to arrive before using my AirPods outdoors again Meanwhile, I’m using Shorkz - it’s great - different from AirPods but suits me well for outdoors

So glad I found someone with small ears reviewing these!! I’m sticking to 2nd gen.

Hi Sara, Just found your channel, Really like the way you review things. Will be watching now Cheers

Sara- have you thought about doing phone cases for merch? I would 100% rock the black one.

Loving my Airpods 3rd Gen so far!

I love the gen 2 and I love you too Sara x

first one of her videos over seen and i love her

I've never actually seen a person talk themselves out of something so passionately...

I also have small “ear holes” and was worried about the fit of the 3rd gen AirPods in my ears, but can confirm that I’ve gotten used to it and it feels weird going back to the 2nd gen!

Hey Sara, thanks for your video. I have very small ears (maybe smaller than yours :)) so I'm still not sure what to get. I read that the Pro ones are the least comfortable. What do you think? Thanks for your help :)

Hi Sara, just looking at cases for my AirPods and the peachy pods popped up. Just wondering if MagSafe charging is affected by the case? Thanks Gemma xx

Great comparison vid Sara! This is what I was looking for as I could not decide between 3rd Gen and Pro. : ) EDIT: NOICE! 😂

Campaigning for your Mom 5 years later? Your dedication is inspiring!

I really love your reviews

Never have i been able to find a youtuber who reacts to tech the same way i do

Hi Sarah, thanks for your video. I’ll be going straight from EarPods to either AirPods second or third generation. From everything I have seen, third generation would have been the obvious choice for me, but like yourself, the EarPods fits me perfectly, so I will have to see about the size issue. One observation though, looking at the angled stem of the third generation, isn’t the comfort problem because the third generation needs to be inserted at a different angle to the previous versions? And since you first tried them, has the comfort levels changed for you?

Im trying to decide between AirPods 3rd gen and the pros. My only issue is that any earbud that has the design that the pro has always falls out of my ear so I’m nervous about that. The little rubber part just constantly falls right out no matter what earbuds I’ve tried. Now I’m not sure about the 3rd gen either tho 😅

I’m keeping my pro’s I actually like having noise control and transparency mode and the best is spatial audio I love them to much

I would have loved to see the AirPods 3rd gen with the AirPods Pro form factor but with the tap controls of the 1st gens

I wish they had a ear hole measurement tool that I could print out and check if they're compatible with my ears.

Great video! Fun and informative. Regarding fit… no two sets of ears are alike. Different shaped ears! I have small ears too, but the 3’s fit perfectly and the 2’s did not. So… try them out for fit.

love u Sara! 💚

I love you Sara dietschy ❤️

Great review, thank you! I love your hair colour, it looks beautiful on you..Do you know what brand & colour is?

Thank you so much I have small ears too and you just saved me with that honest review!

When I first got mine, I heard the same “glitchy” feedback while I was listening to a song but after a little while it stopped and it has never happened again

Ahhh…yes. I’m not the only one w the 3rd Gen not fitting my ears. Just bought them today and I had to give them to my husband and back to my 2nd Gen. But overall, 3rd Gen sound AMAZING!! Highly recommend if you have no issues with other EarPods.

I am the same, loved the 2nd generation fit in my ear, not a fan of the 3rd generation fit, but my 2nd generation were failing me on phone calls and the 3rd do not

I was afraid to go to the 3rd gen because of the size to my ears as well and i do have on the second gen on ALL day and it so comfortable. I also thought about the pros but would it be as comfortable to have in in your ears all day as the second gen’s?

Can’t wait for the next version of the Airpod Pros.

So I’m looking to purchase my first pair of AirPods. I love my wired EarPods and value comfort over anything else. I can’t do the silicone tips so the pros are out. Sounds like I should try the 2nd generation and go from there?

You had me at “noise hole”. 🤣🤣🤣

I am on the fence with buying these. I have had my second gen for almost three years. The battery life... is it better?

Sara Dietschy I know that this has nothing to do with Airpods but, I'm looking into buying the Google Pixel 6 as my next phone bc I have the 3 XL. I know that all my pictures and social media would making through but would all my texts be able to transfer or would I have to start over? Also how much does the GP 6 cost. Like what's the price of it?

“Shake test” 😂💀💀 you’re hilarious

Nice review! I'm starting to think about getting Airpods. I have preferred earbuds with a strap simply for the fear of losing one. My biggest fear of losing one or both has to do with my kids. If my daughters get a hold of them, they will be lost. Sometimes I want to sit in a dark room and either watch a show or listen to music and I hate the flashing light that shows it's connected.

I was thinking about getting the air pod 3rd gen, I currently have the 1st gen air pods and I’m going to stick with these until the 2nd get air pod pros come out.

The only video that explained that you can wirelessly charge even without the MagSafe version 👌

Hi, friends I have a question. If I put the headphones on a conventional charger the LED does not light up when charging, in fact I don't even know if the headphones actually work on the wireless charger. Is it necessary for the charger to support magsafe ?

I like your desk at 10:00 your new studio maybe? Where'd you get it? It there a desk tour somewhere on your channel?

I love the way the 3rd generation fit in my ears

Hi Sara, thanks for the video BUT… more the wonderful background 😍 I don’t know… but I LOVE IT 🥰.. back to the reality… yeah small ears I’m keeping my AirPods Pro 😁😬👍🏻

Should’ve tested it with Facetime (or did you?). Normal audio calls are super low quality anyway because of their downsampling and not even a 1k+ microphone would make a difference.. I think. Anyway, great vid!

Did you also did a review about the pro? I have also small ears, have now the 2nd genertion

I ordered the AirPods Pro too yesterday...The right AirPod had the same clicking noise on ANC mode...tried the reset..still same issue...will firmware fix it or should I exchange??

Love the shoutout to peralta and Brooklyn 99 with the “noice.”

hello great review. your eyes really look amazing. can you remember the eyeshadows you used and would you tell me the name of the eyeshadow/brand please?

man i love these videsos❤

Thanks for sharing! I found myself not using my AirPods 2nd gen very often cause they constantly fall out of me ears. After seeing your review definitely think the 3rd gen will be a better fit!

I'm so happy that they fit.

she is so beautiful!!

You checked to make sure it was set to off/normal and not fixed or head tracked ? If you have it set to fixed you get that room sounding thing, same for head tracked. I set my airpods pro to off.

The right ear pod feels a little uncomfortable & requires a little adjustment. The left fits perfectly. I agree Gen 2 are the most comfortable, but the 3s sound pretty good! The Pros are ok for me until it gets warm & then they slip out of my ears. I also don't really like the silicone tip in my ear... pro tip, in noise-canceling mode w/o the tips on actually deliver pretty good sound.

100% agreed with you, I also returned the 3rd generation, but they actually hurt my ear 🤦🏽‍♀️ sounds is great, fit is not

HEY YOU! YEAH, YOU! GET THE PEACHY MERCH!

I always enjoyed the music quality on regular AirPods and even wired in-ear Apple headphones, but I really can't use an in-ear Headphones without the silicone tips. I can live without sound cancelling, but not without the silicone tips, because they just keep falling from my ears

Favourite RU-vidr 👌👌

Nuff said from now on I'll call speaker NOISE HOLE !

THAT was the first real voice quality test I have ever seen. All others just record directly on their phones over bluetooth which is not what you hear on the side.

I’ve shopped around. I have regular gen 2. Love them. I can hear so I’m aware of my surroundings, they fit great unless I’m jumping or like doing physically intense activities. Pro: fell out with all tips on the couch sitting still. I’m going to try 3’s, but I think the chubbiness might make them not fit my EAR HOLES. 😂.

If i didnt need the pro's noise cancelling, i would buy for the more comfortable fit

my right one has a buzz too, going to return them tmrw thanks

Did you buy the original set from Apple or another place? There are lots of fakes out there and I’ve heard of them having the buzzing issue.

Oh man, my local apple store won't let me stick these in my ear holes to try them out. How am I gonna know if they fit well? Do you just buy them and hope for the best?

Actually got mine today. Funnily enough this was the first video that popped up when I opened RU-vid lol

The 3rd gen sound holes don’t fit in my listening holes as good either.

Does anyone have a problem with the mics on AirPods? I had both the 1st generation and the 2nd generation and both mics went bad within a year. I like AirPods but the longevity of the mics have been terrible for me. Wanted to know if I was just that unlucky 😒

Super helpful review! I’ve been wanting to know how these fit in female ears
