3rd gen AirPods are great, but fit poorly for some

LOVE the sound. LOVE the technology that makes these so very much better than previous AirPods. The head tracking, the battery life, the design of the part that goes into the ear, and so much more.
BUT, and there's a big BUT. As good as the sound is, MY ears just won't keep them in, especially the left ear.
Therefore, despite their excellence, I returned them. It's ME, not them. The person who processed the return said my issue is not uncommon and it is the leading reason for their return.
Instead, I bought the brand new BEATS Fit Pro from Best Buy for only a little more money. So far, so good with those. They stay in place and the sound is great, with active noise cancelation.
Some reviews put the new BEATS Fit Pro as superior in every way, though without built-in wireless charging like on the new AirPods.
Again, there is nothing wrong with these 3rd get AirPods, and if they fit YOUR ears without falling out, I know you will enjoy them.

Great pair of AirPods. Great sound quality with good highs and lows, but could definitely use some improvement. 3rd gens don’t have the snug fit that goes deeper into your ear that the 2nd gens do making them more prone to falling out if working out. Battery life is definitely a noticeable improvement from 2nd gens and is comparable to the pros. The spatial audio option is also pretty cool if you want a sense of dynamic sound that changes based on how you move your head from your device. Overall, a great pair of earbuds just make sure to not drop them or have them come in contact with heavy sweat or water, if that’s a concern make sure to grab the apple care warranty to make sure you’re covered in case of an accident!

It was time to update my original AirPods, which were purchased early 2016. I really enjoyed the last 5 years listening to them. As expected, the older battery doesn’t keep a charge like it did before, but unexpectedly I still enjoy using them.
AirPods 3rd gen have everything that I liked about my AirPods original, but they are slightly better. The ear stems are a more comfortable fit. The sound is at least as good as my old pair. They do not have the features of AirPod pro, but they do everything that my old set did which is enough for me. I look forward to using my new AirPods for the next 5 years, or more.
The great case picture with this review was purchased from Sarah Dietschy, YouTube reviewer of Tech. This may be the best AirPod case that I have ever used. The fit is perfect and is made with quality that matches that AirPods that they protect.

The sound quality and connection works very well. The only problem is how it holds in your ear. Might fall off when moving around a lot.

I recently got my hands on the Apple AirPods (3rd generation) with MagSafe Charging Case, and even though they may not be the latest model, I have to say they are still pretty impressive. These AirPods deliver an outstanding audio experience while offering the convenience of wireless technology.
First and foremost, let's talk about the sound quality. The AirPods (3rd generation) provide a truly immersive and captivating audio experience. Whether my daughter is listening to her favorite music or watching videos, the sound is crisp, clear, and well-balanced. The bass is punchy, the vocals are detailed, and the overall audio performance is exceptional.
One aspect that makes these AirPods stand out is their ease of use. The seamless integration with Apple devices allows for effortless pairing and switching between devices. My daughter can easily connect them to her iPhone, iPad, or Macbook without any hassle. The automatic pause and play feature when removing and putting them back in her ears is also a convenient touch.
Another notable feature is the MagSafe Charging Case. The magnetic connection ensures a secure and effortless charging experience. It's so convenient to just place the case on a MagSafe charger or any Qi-certified charging mat, and voila! The AirPods start charging wirelessly. Plus, the case provides multiple charges, so my daughter can enjoy her AirPods for extended periods without worrying about battery life.
Although they may not be the latest AirPods model, the 3rd generation still hold up remarkably well. They deliver exceptional sound quality, offer seamless connectivity with Apple devices, and provide the convenience of wireless charging with the MagSafe Charging Case.
A:The AirPod Pro IS the noise cancelling version. The Airpod is an open design while the Pro is a closed design that has to penetrate and seal off the ear canal to achieve noise cancelation. The AirPod is designed to just gently sit inside the ear, but not penetrate the canal. Therefore external sound, by the design of the tip, will always have an entry point.
So the answer to your question is no, AirPod 3s cannot be noise canceling. If you want noise canceling then buy the Pros.
