My Best Purchase in a long time
By ThunderCoder479 · ISSUE · About AirPods Pro 2
3 months ago I upgraded from the base AirPods gen 1 to the AirPods Pro 3.
*Here are my experience + thoughts so far:*
**THE SOUND**
Noticeable clearer, the bass surprised me a lot with how good it is, I am no sound expert but it does not disappoint and I love listening to all sorts of music with them.
**THE FIT**
I was very nervous about the in-ear fit, since I had never tried any Pro model, but after a few days of testing, the S ear tips fit me really good, firmly and comfortably.
**THE BATTERY**
Never had any long flights or rides to use them on, so I never even came close to the AirPods running out. I wear them for hours every single day and I charge them quite rarely, definitely not a problem for me.
**THE NOISE CANCELLING**
100% worth it just for this, it completely blew me away and it's a completely unique experience. Without music it's already fantastic, but add some music (20-30% volume is definitely enough) and it feels like you´re in a dead silent room, able to hear the audio perfectly clear.
On my daily train ride to/from school, they are life-savers, completely removing the chatter and like 90% of the train noise, really separating me from my environment.
Also, at home my parents argue so much, that it was actually one of the main reasons I wanted to buy something with ANC. And it's blocking out all sorts of conversations fantastically (when my door is closed, I hear nothing from them).
But you also have to be a lot more cautious and aware of your surroundings. Walking around with ANC is a great experience but also dangerous, I got jump scared multiple times by cars and buses passing me by slowly (on less busy streets with no side walk).
All in all, if you are sensitive to chatter / general noise, or simply dislike it - please get yourself some good ANC. If you´re gonna use something for months, maybe years, almost every day - ffs don't worry about spending those 50 bucks more and getting yourself solid quality. I am usually not a big buyer at all, thought a lot about this purchase, but it was worth every cent and I´d buy them again.

If you have any questions about them I´d love to answer and help out.

SwiftEcho377: I’m not a audiophile or anything and this buds probably has flaws. But such an easy buy with guaranteed level of comfort. Life saver especially in places like public transport
EpicDrift889: Went from APP1 to 3 today, it’s mad how the 1 has no bass whatsoever and sounds thin.
They did me proud for the past 5 years, but they are my audiobook/podcast earphones now.
Also the APP3 fit soooo much better than the 1 do.
ThunderCoder34: Can anyone comment on their experience with upgrading from the APP 2s to the latest 3s? I really like the 2s and am struggling to find a good reason to upgrade, but I'm curious if it's truly worth it for battery life, the noise cancelling quality, or something else. Great summary, the author!
EagerOwl7486: I totally agree. I bought the original AirPods, but their batteries crashed 2 years later and then I got Beats Studio 3 for free with a Mac purchase and used them since. I bought APP3 a few weeks ago and not only do they sound better than my Beats, the noise canceling is also way better. It still bl
SarahKim: im usually not the glaze type of guy, but with the pro3 I can work in the loud office or cafe, it turned a bad workplace into ok
SwiftOrbit917: I do not like how 3s fit I am still using my 2s and 3s just sit in box.
EpicPulse839: i’m sort of struggling with the bass on these. i’m using spotify. are you?
also, is it worth it to switch to apple music?
PixelSurfer27: 100% agreed. I started using these in October last year, and initially I was hesitant, looking at the reviews of the people who had bought it.
I just love it.
