I upgraded from my first-gen AirPods to the AirPods 3, and the difference is huge. The sound quality is so much better, way clearer with deeper bass. The noise cancellation is on another level too. I flew to Hawaii recently, with a layover in the super busy Las Vegas airport, and even with all the noise around me, I could barely hear a thing once noise cancellation was on. Total game-changer for travel.
Battery life was another big surprise, I got about 6–7 hours of constant use before needing to pop them back in the case. That’s way more than my old pair ever gave me. And I love that they automatically lower the volume when I start talking, super handy when ordering something or talking to someone without taking them out.
If you’re still hanging onto your old AirPods, trust me, it’s time to upgrade. The comfort, sound, and features are all next level.

Apple just knows how to make great products!
Sound Quality has improved over last gen - the bass seems more impactful but the treble also seems to be more sibilant.
Battery is another step up!
Connectivity has never been an issue for me between my AirPods Pro and other Apple devices
I like the new and improved form factor, though many seem to be disappointed... Of course all of this is subjective and individual based
If you are unsure, just get them!

I’ve had my AirPods Pro 3 since early January (snagged them a couple months after the September launch, when they were finally in stock without the crazy wait times), and honestly, they’re a solid upgrade from my old Pro 2s. At $249, they didn’t jack up the price, which is nice—no feeling like Apple’s nickel-and-diming us this time.
The fit is the first thing that hit me. Apple tweaked the shape with better ear scans or whatever, and they added these new foam-infused silicone tips that seal way better for me. I run a lot around Indy, especially in the colder winter months now, and they stay put during longer jogs or HIIT stuff—no more readjusting every five minutes like with the older ones. That said, fit’s super personal; my buddy tried mine and said his Pro 2s felt more comfy for him. The case is a tiny bit taller now, but still super pocketable, and the IP57 rating means I don’t stress about sweat, rain, or even dropping them in a puddle during a run.
Sound-wise, they’re noticeably better after a few months of daily use. Bass hits deeper and feels more controlled, highs have extra detail and sparkle, and the soundstage opens up—especially with Spatial Audio on Atmos tracks from Apple Music. It’s more fun and immersive for most music I throw at it, like during workouts or commutes. But the tuning leans a bit V-shaped (big bass, bright treble), so mids can feel a touch recessed sometimes. For casual listening or pumping iron, it’s awesome and exciting, but if you’re super picky about neutral sound, it might get a little fatiguing on really long sessions compared to the more balanced Pro 2. I just tweak the EQ in Apple Music a bit and it’s golden—no big deal.
Noise cancellation is killer—Apple said 2x better than the Pro 2, and yeah, it feels like it in real life. Plane rides (haven’t flown since getting them, but tested on noisy buses and traffic), office hum, or even the Indy winter wind gets crushed way more effectively. Transparency mode is clearer too, less of that weird plugged-ear feeling, and conversation awareness kicks in smoothly. Wind noise is handled way better outdoors, which has been clutch on windy runs.
The new stuff is cool and I’ve actually used them a bunch: heart rate tracking during workouts is legit accurate (matches my Apple Watch close enough, even in the cold), and it syncs straight to Fitness/Health—no watch needed for cardio sessions like running or cycling. Live Translation is handy if you’re chatting with someone in another language; it worked surprisingly well on a call with family overseas over the holidays. Battery’s up to about 8 hours with ANC on, which has held up great in real use—better than before, and I’ve been pushing them hard with winter workouts.
Overall, if you’re in the Apple ecosystem like me (iPhone, Watch, etc.), these are easily the best in-ear buds right now. Seamless switching, Siri, all that jazz just works. Worth the upgrade from older Pros or non-Pros for sure, especially if you want top ANC, better fitness tracking, or just fresher sound. From a Pro 2 owner? It’s nice but not a must unless the heart rate or extra ANC matters to you—I’ve enjoyed the refinements over the past couple months. I’d give ‘em a strong 4.5 out of 5—super reliable daily drivers, especially for staying active in Indy weather. If you’re on the fence, grab ‘em while they’re dipping below $200 on Amazon sometimes. Totally recommend for most people.

I love these. I had the first generation pros before and there’s definitely a great improvement in noise cancellation. The battery capacity it great too; I’ve yet to experience my airpods or case dying on me and I use them for long periods. I’ve never had a hard time with the fit of airpods but it’s nice the tips come in five sizes now.

The new AirPods Pro 3 sound incredible — crystal-clear audio, deeper bass, and the noise cancellation is noticeably better than the previous version. The fit is super comfortable for long use, and the battery life seems improved too.
The only downside I’ve run into is with the live translation feature. It only works on iOS models that have Apple’s new on-device AI support, which unfortunately means it doesn’t work with my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Everything else functions perfectly, but if you want to take full advantage of the AI features, you’ll need to upgrade to one of the newer iPhones.
Overall, these AirPods are top-notch — just be aware that the coolest new features depend on your phone model.

I love these airpods especially the features. first i really love the tracking on the airpods how yoh ca track each individual bud and the case also. And i live the noise features like being able to have noice cancellation, transparency mode, and stereo. The airpods pro 3 are the best airpods nice, sleek, versatile, small, exclusive, premium, and just a better alternative if you dont want to spend money on the airpods pro maxs. I love using thes in the gym especially while running i feel a sense of euphoria and ease with the perfect noise cancellation.

Bought these for my wife to replace her AirPods Pro 2. She said the noise cancellation and battery life are indeed better and these are more comfortable due to the extra ear tip sizes. Sound quality is fantastic but that’s not a shocker at this point.

This is my 2nd pair of AirPods from Apple and my 5th pair of EarPods in total. I absolutely love them. Recently, we traveled and stayed in an Airbnb that had a lot of noise early in the morning while I was still trying to sleep—so I just put on my AirPods, and even with no music playing, the noise-canceling feature completely erased the outside noise from the bedroom. It was amazing to have a completely silent background! And when I started playing my music, it became even more impressive—the sound quality is incredibly crisp, and, as always, the spatial sound feature makes the experience truly remarkable! And comfi in both ears.! Truly love it!

When the AirPods started coming out, I really didn’t want to like them. They had majorly the same feature set as much cheaper wireless earbuds. Then I got the pro 1s. When using an iPhone, everything became so smooth. Transparency and anc were wonderful. Great battery life. Fast forward to pro 3 release this year. I had been waiting for them to hopefully release so I could skip the gen 2s. I was very excited when these showed up. And… they are great. Everything feels refined from the gen 1s. So it’s a no-brainer upgrade there. The new shape works better.
I just have one gripe, the sound when listening to music isn’t as to my taste. It focuses on the high end, which can be helpful for voices, but detracts from the musical side of things. For the most part the feature set is majorly comparable on the gen 2s. So unless you need the new bud shape, I would say hold off. Overall I am very happy with the item and will enjoy them for years to come. Just wish the sound was different or that you could change it.

Upgraded from the pro 2 pods. These feel so much better in the ear due to the new design. Translate feature is pretty cool, too. Sound wise they sound the same as previous gen, but still an upgrade with the new features. Battery life is better as well.

Honestly, the AirPods Pro 3 didn't just redefine premium wireless audio—they nailed the core experience I always wanted from earbuds.
I was initially worried about the fit, but the subtle redesign and the new five ear tip options made all the difference. For me, they finally feel secure and comfortable enough to wear all day without worrying about them slipping out.
This is the part I love the most. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) feels truly revolutionary. When I flip the switch, the world’s low-end rumble (think planes or noisy commuters) just vanishes.
From a sound perspective, they just sound great. I noticed a clear, expansive soundstage right away. The bass feels deep and powerful, and vocals in the mid-range are so crisp and detailed—it really pulls you into the music.

I recently upgraded to these from the AirPods Pro 2, and I’ll say that I prefer these a good amount more, as I prefer the punchier bass response compared to the last generation, as I personally felt it was lacking bass in some of the songs I listen to. The improved battery life on each AirPod is also a great improvement, with 8 hours of battery life even with ANC on. Transparency mode was also actually transparent with these, as my old pair barely let me hear anything, and with the new ones I can hear as if I didn’t have them in at all. Overall, I’d say these are a solid upgrade from the previous ones, especially if you can get em on a sale.

For me these headphones have been a huge upgrade from the pros i had been using for the past 6 years. The noise cancelling is much better and i feel like base translates in these a bit better too. A small features i didnt have on the previous generation that i appreciate most id being able to find my case more easily because of the built in speaker. Switching between my devices is also a lot faster, my voice comes through more clearly in recordings, new gesture controls are actually kinda nice too. All the little details and upgrades really come together to make a reliable and accessible experience.

These are the best fitting edition of AirPods. They have a smaller frame in the ear. The live translation is awesome but severely limited at this time. I am very excited for the addition of more languages, English/ Thai to be specific. We tested it with Spanish and it was outstanding. The sound is comparable to the 2 pros. The battery life seems good but will that quality uphold over time? They connected with no issues.

Great noise cancellation, its very loud and they're comfortable in the ears. Your ears don't "sweat" like other headphones. I love that they come with little ear buds size xxs instead of just small. Overall, love. Translation could be better, it gives google translate lol but you know.

Take my review with a grain of salt, as I do not have an iPhone. I do have a Macbook Air, and a Mac Mini that I got these to pair with.
The noise canceling and transparency mode are both significantly better than my Galaxy Bud 3 pros, or my Sony Linkbuds S. They sound better too.
My issue came with the set up of additional features. Attempting on my Macbook to get to the accessibility features I was prompted with an error that those features were only for Apple headphones... I eventually had to update my system to Tahoe, and plug the case in via usb(not included in box) to get them to update and use the features.
I then paired them to my S24+.. worked fine. But trying to go back to my Mac... and all the settings and info, even the name of the Airpods I had set up was gone. I had to plug them back in by Usb and wait for them to reload from the Macbook. If you have an iPhone you probaby wont have my issues.
Once set up, I very much like how they are toed to my Apple account. Meaning I didnt even have to take them out to go from my Macbook to my Mini, and even to my old iPad.

I absolutely love this product! I originally bought these earbuds because I needed some peace at work, and let me tell you the noise cancellation is amazing. When certain coworkers start talking, all I see is their mouths moving, and I hear nothing. It’s beautiful!
The size is also perfect. The case fits easily in my wristlet and pockets, and the earbuds themselves are super comfortable. They don’t move, don’t feel loose, and I can wear them for hours without any irritation.
Overall, it’s a great product and totally worth it! But the noise cancellation is my favorite feature!

My airpod pro 2s finally died so I decided to try these. Apple AirPods speak for themselves. Unless you are an audiophile and can get really into audio and tuning these are great ear buds. For me the sound is phenomenal for both music and calls. I am taking/making anywhere from 50-100 phone calls a day with my line of work and these make my day just a little easier. I noticed this when I first bought AirPods, but I DEFINITELY noticed when they finally stopped working. The ease of connectivity when you have an iPhone is flawless. I went through so many different ear buds and different brands before I finally bit the bullet on AirPods and I’ll
Never go back!
