Excellent quality and easy to use. Ear fit can be tricky but that’s because of different ear types

Here's the truth about ALL earbuds...the sound and user experience relies entirely on fit. Here's another truth...most of us have different ear shapes and sizes so every earbuds review including mine is subjective. I own AirPods Pro, Beats Studio Buds, and the Galaxy Buds Pro so my review is based on having tried several brands and styles of earbuds. The AirPods 1&2 never fit my ears but the AirPods 3 do fit my smaller sized ears. Here's the good and bad:
1. These look better and fit my ears better so as a result they were more comfortable. After about 5 minutes I can't feel them and even without the foam tips they don't move around when I walk, chew food, or talk.
2. These sound much better than the gen 2 AirPods. The bass is more full, the highs are more clean, and the vocals are more forward. I use them to listen to music, for podcasts, to watch YouTube, and while mobile gaming and they sound great for every task with no latency on videos. Warning...the bass is full but not even close to the bass on the AirPods Pro and Beats Studio Buds which are both better.
3. These connect fast and I've never had them cut out or have static. By the time I take both earbuds out of the case and put them in my ears...they are connected to my iPhone or iPad.
4. The battery life on the AirPods 3 is great. I'm able to use them for 3-4 hours straight and still have a charge left over. So far I only need to charge up the case about every 4-5 days so battery anxiety isn't an issue.
5. The case got smaller and better. I prefer to carry my AirPods 3 daily in the coin pocket on my jeans and this one fits easily. The case also has MagSafe charging which is a cool bonus.
6. Call quality is still the greatness. When it comes to making phone calls, FaceTime calls, or Zoom calls...these shine and do a great job.
The bad:
* AirPods Pro sound better and have more features like ANC and Transparency Mode. Thanks to all the holiday sales you can find the AirPods Pro for $20 more on some websites.
* If you like bass...then the AirPods 3 rank last. AirPods Pro, Studio Buds, and Galaxy Buds all have more bass. This is really noticeable for music and movies. Earbuds that don't seal at the end all have this issue so it's not just the AirPods 3.
* A one style fits all approach for earbuds means they either fit and you love them or they don't fit and you'll hate them. AirPods Pro, Studio Buds, and Galaxy Buds Pro include different size ear tips.
Bottom line...if you like and prefer this style of earbuds and can get them to fit then these are a nice upgrade over the previous generations. If you like features like ANC, Transparency Mode, and want earbuds that seal...then look elsewhere. If I were to rank it would be AirPods Pro first, Studio Buds, AirPods 3, and Galaxy Buds last but they all get the job done.

My first pair of AirPods…They’re ok. I like the wireless function, yet they fall out just as much as the wire head phones..maybe even more. I still need to play with the sound and learn the functions but for the price, I don’t think it’s worth $200. It was a gift but I wouldn’t buy them for myself. Maybe the 1st or 2nd generation since I do like the hands free feel of using them. It’s convenient but like I said I’d rather buy the cheaper old ones that give me that convenience at a more affordable price.

Great purchase. Product is as advertised and in premium condition.
P.S. Fit might be a little uncomfortable for smaller ears especially after wearing for long hours.

I had the first gen and these blow them away. The sound quality is pretty awesome, especially directional. A lot of times I hear a sound and turn my head to look, it fools me. A surprising amount of my music has police car sounds I’ll tell you that. Super responsive Siri. Get yourself a case protector right off. And don’t lose them :)

Paired easily with my iPad and iPhone, good sound. Nice feature that it shows the charging level on-screen when you open the case and connect them. Wireless charging works well.
Spatial audio with my Apple products sound great.

This is my 3rd pair of AirPods and I loved them!! Love the fact that they are smaller and similar to AirPods Pro. The case is bigger and the charge lasts much more hours. Because this is the new gen, it was hard to find a case.

The AirPods work well. These tend to slide out of my ear so much and cause so much ear tension. It hurts. I only bought these b/c they were on sale. Tbh I don’t use them b/c I ended up upgrading to the AirPod Pro 2. Much more comfortable and they (rarely) slide out. (to avoid this I clean them after every use). I have them as back ups but rarely use them.

These AirPods are pretty good! The only reason i gave it 4 stars is because these were very painful for my ears. I’ve adjusted since then and the comfort is ok. If you have the originals or the 2nd gen and they fit you perfect, these may be uncomfortable for you
