Apple - AirPods 3

Pros sound better I have them and don’t use them much (sometimes when I’m outside for an hour or two). I just hate the feeling with silicone tips inside my ears (tried different brands and it was the same or worse). I loved AirPods 2,3 and now just bought 4s with ANC (actually haven’t unpacked yet). I also really like Samsung LiveBuds - I think those are much better than people say.

My stupid friggin AirPods always fall out when I sweat. Over the ear ones actually stay in place, especially during cardio.

These were so good I sold my beats fit pro and these are better than my air pods

For just listening to music I'll take my Sennheiser True Momentum 4 earbuds over the Apple AirPods everyday of the week. Now if you want to talk about seamless integration and if spatial audio floats your boat for video/movies get the Airpods. But they aren't the best sound quality for the money that I've used.

They’re excellent! Much better than the AirPods 3 and the ANC is way better than I had expected. Of course the Pro’s can do ANC way better, but they are doing a good job. Plus less stressful for some ears.

Came from the 2s to the 3s and i love them, more punch and bass. Also clearer Vocals and Instruments, the airpods pro 2 were really muffeld in sound. Also the 3 sits very good in my ears and have a very nice seal, so anc is even better and also transparency mode works slightly better. I couldnt get the Airpods pro 2 to really fit 100 % in my ears, they always came a little bit losse when walking or working out.

they are not a true replacement for ear plugs or muffs but do work surprisingly well for some stuff.

Yeah i use my AirPods for at least 4-5 hours a day this is honestly an easy purchase

People might complain about the prices of Apple products, but I feel like the AirPods are actually completely worth every single penny. I’ve gotten thousands of hours of use out of mine over the years and they are the one thing that I use every single day. Best value proposition of all time.

I am really considering the apple headphones but I’m not sure if I can justify £500 for something that I can’t wear as freely as AirPods. I’m quite sweaty and I use my AirPods in the gym and when at work in construction…so realistically they’re going to get a brutal combination of sweat and construction dust daily which will rip them to shreds. My AirPods have received that combination and they’re still going strong after 4 years. I’ve even worn them in the pool…not directly in the water but pretty close. Say what you want about apple but their products last

I would just get a new pair of air pods. I love mine. having the noise cancellation is handy when in louder areas. not to mention how seamlessly they work with your iphone.

Just in case you didn’t know, when you’re connected to the AirPods, you can swipe down to get to the command center and hard press the headphone volume icon and toggle between noise cancellation, transparency mode etc. super fast/easy

+1 for memory foam tips. My AirPods stay put through anything short of the stems being directly physically manipulated.

I stopped using my AirPods because I was sick of them falling out, I am going to try this!

For me, it’s AirPods for calls and the Sony over the other headphones for everything else. Maybe some beats if you want to have volume while you’re at the gym, but I don’t want noise cancellation from your earbuds, and I want over the ear headphones to be what I would want on a plane and listening to music in a coffee shop. Also, for what it’s worth, I recently realized I could add AppleCare to my AirPods for like 15 bucks a year, and I have no clue that it ever ends.

I really want these but my AirPods 3 are still going strong and I have Sony XM4 over ear for noise cancelling. Would be nice to have noise cancelling earbuds for cutting the grass, or not having to lug the XM4 on my work commute. Decisions… Also worried about wide reports of the ANC breaking overtime due to the microphones getting clogged.

The difference in quality between wireless JVC earbuds costing hundreds and the airpods are night and day. I'm no fan of Apple except for their wireless earbuds. I'm convinced they set the standard against the similarly priced wireless competition.

The AirPods have better iPhone integration. My Sony ear buds last years longer than my Apple ones.

Run two single wired earbuds, one left and one right. Look for ones with with an inline hardware mute switch. I use two PS4 chat earbuds. Put Job A in one ear and Job B in the other. This will avoid Bluetooth issues, syncing problems, wrong computer connects, etc. On camera it just looks like you are wearing a normal set of earbuds. Two sets of AirPods can work too, one in each ear, but that is way easier to mess up with software mute and unmute.

Case is not the most durable, but my god the buds are virtually unbreakable. They finally gave up when I drove one of them over with my car. They've been in the washing machine, thrown around in bags, used in the gym almost daily, dropped 100s of times... I'd say they are an essential part of my life and even if the price went 2x I'd still buy them.

It’s relatability VS features The apple might rank higher in reviews, but man My Sony’s are still working many years after the same Beats quit. Sony is the Better VALUE

For all I know, AirPods always are the best earbuds on the market no questions asked. They’ll work perfectly with the MacBook and iPad but you will need to manually connect them every time on your oneplus and you lose out on some features like Spatial Audio. ANC is the best in the market right now for open earbuds. Sound quality is perfect if they fit your ears well. I have used AirPods with an android and a windows PC too, they still delivered excellent sound quality. Just note that if you’re using your AirPods on your android and you start playing something on your MacBook or iPad it will pull the connection from your android to it. Although I think this can be turned off

I listen to AM Radio on my AirPods.

If you want something well balanced, probably stick to 3rd gen airpods. Technics az100 excel in sound quality but ANC is not comparable to the best. Bose quietcomfort ultra excel in ANC but sound quality isn't the best. B&W pi8, Noble Fokus Rex 5 is on the top for sound quality but the call quality is bad.

No problem. You'll def some decent ones at that price point that's have anc but you'll have to bump that music all the way up to block out the sound. If you got anything there it's usually just a shit load of features only Sony xm5 Bose an airpods got you on anc

I got some replacement foam “buds” (?) for my AirPods and they don’t fall out anymore. Amazon find that has been well worth the $7.

Yes depending on the noise level, or just drowning out annoying background noise like fans/blowers

Airpods have the same latency on a Steam Deck or any other PC as your galaxy buds for the same reason. They will both be using the SBC codec with precisely the same performance.

Get any of the AirPods, auto switching and easy controls via the control center works like magic. You won't regret it. Other bluetooth wireless earbuds also work well with Apple products via standard bluetooth but it's not a magically smooth experience.

You bring the case and it charges them in 15 mins. I always take them out at lunch and let them charge then I’m good for the rest of the day. 4 hours might even be a low ball, maybe it’s more like 5-6 hours depending on volume of music

I have cheap 10$ jlabs that sit in the car incase of emergencys, I have my mid range sony ones for work (love the physical push button to mute), and my airpods for driving and phone calls.

I have the air pods and they work seamless with both.

I take the Eearpads out of my SandBox helmet cause who needs em and I use my Apple AirPod

Nah my AirPods charge in like 15 mins and last like 4 hours nonstop use. They fit in so well that I never even feel them and there’s no cords to catch on anything. I will literally forget I’m wearing them after work. I will never use wired earbuds again

I had the AirPods but they hurt my ears after a while. The Max have totally solved that! I have no pain while listening and the sound quality is great (I am not an audio professional lol just what my regular person ears hear)
