5.0 out of 5 stars Fit well, easy to pose music !
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 July 2024
Style Name: Lightning Charging CaseConfiguration: Without AppleCare+Verified Purchase
I have been using my AirPod 2 over 8 years and it started stop working on one ear. The battery life gets much shorter as 1h30 mins instead of 5 hours. They still work but the time I can use gets shorter and shorter month by month giving me a bit of sweat 😰 to anticipate the end . I started feeling that it is the time to upgrade my AirPod . They did work so long perfectly every day for me . I had hesitation between pro and AirPod 3 . But my silicone lemon case got moulds up and I had been unable to remove them by any antibacterial products. They entered deep inside of silicone material. So I had a great doubt about the silicone ear pods. I had decided for the AirPod 3 without them . The stem is shorter but fits my small ear canal so well . I shake my head and jump to test but they don’t drop from my ear . Great for sports.
Shame that I can’t share my test video. Also AirPod3 gives you a stem control and without taking them off like v2 , you can pose the music in a shop to talk to people. I don’t want to be rude nor antisocial so this is much appreciated upgrade . Only the issue is the volume control . You got to ask Siri to increase volume or decrease it . Siri does it but only for one command per one press of your stem . Doesn’t accept my second request : a bit louder please. You got to start again to call Siri . In public place, I do look wierdo possibly. Pro has this stem control for volume . But I insist that I don’t like silicone for hygiene reasons . Overall I am very happy with AirPod 3 . Very comfortable to wear them . The sound quality gets slightly better after 6 uses but you can adjust them in system settings . I prefer not to follow the test as ended in the wrong settings . Try selecting one with you favourite music and compare with other 2 . I prefer balanced tone and make the soft sound come forward strongly . Often Apple products automatically upgrades the quality while we are using so I guess the sound is not that wow on the first music after your set up . Spatial Audio needs to be set up showing your ears. You do feel differences from normal audio settings. Not overly dramatic but good to use it . AirPod 3 is great with the stem control . I no longer need to tap my ear and I can pose music without taking them out from my ears and hurry to find a case in my bag or pockets not to loose them . Wonderful. I don’t walk without AirPod over 8 years. It is indeed my encouragement for walking. With AirPod I now walk longer and do sports much more. Life gets so much richer with world musics . When I was young it was so hard to get foreign music. Crossing borders was so hard . Compared with the record recorded my first concert at the age4 , we are living in extraordinary time with full choices and stimulation for our creativity. I do recommend AirPod 3 . Affordable with credit without interest in Amazon and simply I cannot live without it ! Thank you for delivering this to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant upgrade from gen 1 or 2

The media could not be loaded.
 I had my old Apple AirPods Gen 1 for 7 years and was very happy with them. Unfortunately, they recently stopped working, so I decided it was time for an upgrade. I was torn between the Gen 2 and Gen 3 because I heard the fit on the Gen 3 was different. However, I can confidently say that, for me, the Gen 3 fit even better. They are lighter and perform better overall, with 6 hours of battery life and spatial audio. I love them! The spatial audio makes it feel like you're not even wearing headphones. Theres no noise cancelation other than the fact you have something in your ears and the volume is still controlled on your phone, however very responsive

If you're considering an upgrade, I highly recommend going for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Overall, But Weirdly Shaped…
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 May 2023
Style Name: Lightning Charging CaseConfiguration: Without AppleCare+Verified Purchase
I���ll start this off by clarifying that I’m upgrading from the 1st Gen Air Pods. So far, my experience with the 3rd Gens is that the volume and sound quality is a lot better than I had anticipated. I can definitely hear more bass coming through than I could on the 1st Gens, so that’s always good. There was always something so frustrating about turning your volume to the max and not having the song or audio be as loud as you want it to be, but the 3rd Gens do not give me the same problem. Connecting wasn’t a struggle, had a strange issue that quickly resolved itself, so now they connect flawlessly. So far the battery life has been very good as well. You can also connect your Air Pods to the “Find My” App as well, so if you ever lose a Pod or anything, you should be able to locate them using that app.

The only gripe that I have with the 3rd Gen Air Pods is the shape of the Pods themselves. They don’t sit comfortably in my ears and I find myself constantly adjusting them to make sure they don’t come too loose or fall out entirely. It’s usually when I’m talking or smiling, or making an exaggerated expression like laughing or yawning that I feel them slipping out slightly and require readjustment. I never had this problem with the 1st Gen Air Pods so it’s quite disappointing. I don’t understand why they didn’t settle with a better fitting shape than what they ended up with, but I’m hoping that I’ll simply adjust to the shape over time.

Worth your money? For everything else that I mentioned…Connectivity, Battery Life, Sound Quality, Volume, I would say so. Just be aware that you may have to readjust your Air Pods so they don’t come too loose. If you’re very focused on a comfortable listening experience and don’t want to fuss about readjusting them, honestly go for the 1st Gen Air Pods. They’re cheaper, and very solid for what they are! Sound quality, volume and battery life is still good, just slightly less than what the 3rd Gen offers which is to be expected.
