    Are They Worth the Upgrade?

    Hey y'all, I've been using them for a few weeks now, and I really like them. They're one of the best wireless earbuds I've ever used. I know what you're thinking: "Those are just another AirPods" But trust me, these AirPods are different. They're better. For starters, they sound amazing. The bass is deep and punchy, the highs are crisp and clear, and the mids are full and rich. I've listened to all kinds of music on them, from classical to hip hop to rock, and they sound great with everything. The noise cancellation is also best in class. I can wear them in the car or at work, and I can barely hear the world around me. It's like having my own little sound bubble. And the battery life is insane. I can get a full day of use out of them on a single charge. And when I do need to top them up, the charging case is super fast. PROS: SOUND QUALITY IS FIRE. They deliver rich, detailed sound with excellent bass response. I'm not an audiophile, but I know what sounds good, and these buds sound great. NOISE CANCELLATION IS NO JOKE. They block out a significant amount of ambient noise, making them ideal for listening to music or podcasts in noisy environments. I can wear them on the plane or at the gym without being disturbed by the noise around me. BATTERY LIFE IS ON POINT. They offer up to 6 hours of battery life on a single charge, which can be extended to up to 30 hours with the charging case. I've never had them run out of battery on me, even when I'm using them all day long. THEY'RE COMFY AF(As Fancy ;) ;)). They are lightweight and comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I can wear them for hours on end without any discomfort. THEY'RE EASY TO USE. They pair seamlessly with my iPhone and other Apple devices. I just open the case and put them in my ears, and they're ready to go. CONS: They're kinda EXPENSIVE, not gonna lie. The FIT can be FINICKY for some people. My ears get a lil sore after a while of wearing them. The BATTERY life is good, but it COULD BE BETTER. I've had a few PROBLEMS WITH the NOISE CANCELLATION. It's not always perfect. CONCLUSION To wrap things up, I'm really happy with this iteration of the AirPods. They're on the top of the food chain of the wireless earbuds, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great pair of earbuds. That's my two cents on the Apple AirPods.

    I love this product. Battery life is amazing…. Between me and you…. This is the best option very comfortable. They do fall down sometimes, so I ended up buying some soft silicone holders that feel amazing… very good price. I will definitely recommend this product What I love about this product. It doesn’t hurt your ears by wearing them for too long.

    I love the sound quality and special features that come with AirPods. I recently purchased the 3rd generation AirPods but the new design of the AirPods don’t stay in place like the 2nd generation AirPods. They constantly slip out of my ear. Great sound and quality but I will be returning them and purchasing the older 2nd generation AirPods.

    I purchased the Apple AirPods (3rd generation) with Lightning Charging Case in White, and I must say that I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. Not only do these AirPods offer exceptional sound quality and a comfortable fit, but they also seamlessly sync with my Samsung phone. The convenience of being able to use these AirPods with my Samsung device is truly remarkable. The pairing process was effortless, and once connected, the audio experience has been nothing short of amazing. Whether I'm listening to music, watching videos, or taking calls, the sound is crystal clear and immersive. Additionally, the Lightning Charging Case provides a convenient way to keep my AirPods charged on-the-go. The case itself is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around in my pocket or bag without adding any extra bulk. Overall, I highly recommend the Apple AirPods (3rd generation) with Lightning Charging Case in White for anyone looking for a high-quality wireless earphone option that seamlessly syncs with their Samsung phone. These AirPods have exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and convenience.

    I liked this product and bought in 149$. I found the sound quality to be good, and it instantly connected to my iPhone, laptop, etc. The battery life is good, and it's very comfortable. I only have one issue: when I run, the buds tend to drop down. If this can be managed, then the rest is excellent.

    The third-generation AirPods deliver excellent sound quality with deep bass and clear highs. They are comfortable, with up to 6 hours of continuous use and MagSafe charging support. They are also sweat and water-resistant, making them great for workouts. While they lack noise cancellation like the AirPods Pro, their seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem and overall comfort make them a solid choice.

    These are better than the gen1 pro and cheaper. The little plastic thingy for the ear was comfortable but flimsy, and I suspect by design. No points of failure/continued cost. I needed reliable and functional. I am not an Apple fan.

    I’m in love with these AirPods! Best Buy provided wonderful service and helped me understand the differences with this product and previous airpod generations. The spatial audio setting really makes me feel like I’m in a concert. I don’t even have to charge these AirPods often since they can last me awhile. More than 2 days to be exact! Excellent quality overall!!

    So I had to kinda get use to these I had the second generation and they are much different .. my music sounds way better more base in songs .. very noise canceling which I enjoy . The work I do requires me to relax due to the high stress I have and Apple really out did themselves with the 3 rd generation. The case is much better for holding as well . I don’t feel like I’m gonna loose them . Fit right in my pocket .and they seem to stay charged for a really long time

    Only complaint is that feel like they don't sit well in the ear. What i mean by that is they feel loose and not as secure as other airpods gens. Other than that great product, audio is good. Noise cancellation is decent. If your someone whose clumsy, i wouldn't recommend because as i mention, the ear buds sit loosely in the ear.

    They are of very good quality, I like them because they don't fall out and the charge lasts longer than other generations. For me, they are the best because you can run without fear of them falling out. They don't hurt your ears.

    I am so picky when I choose my pods. And always after a while use I found some issues with it but in this model, I couldn't find any issues. The feature they advertise was exactly what I got in these Airpods. I love to use it every day to help me more focus on my job with the sound quality you hear for music songs or even my favorite podcast.
