i've been using the airpods 3 for over a
month now so today i'm going to talk about everything that i discovered along
with why i stopped using my airpods pro and instead started using the airpods 3.
who would have thought that when apple had courage to remove the headphone jack
in 2016 and right away gave us a solution to the problems they created
that airpods would become a massive company ranking in the top 30 beating
out both nvidia and amd's revenue combined and almost reaching tesla's in
2020. people hated the idea of spending 159 dollars for wireless earbuds but
here we are years later and that price seems like a bargain with the new
airpods 3 coming in at 180 bucks not far off from what you can buy airpods pro
for this made it a really hard sell when we first tested them but thankfully a
month later you can now pick him up for 150 bucks which we'll link to down in
the description so after all of my testing are the
airpods 3 actually worth spending 150 bucks on let's talk about comfort these
things are extremely comfortable even for somebody like me that doesn't have
any issues with the airpods pro i know some people do some people just don't
like that sealed design and some people simply can't use them which is why the
air pods original have been still very popular now compared to those air pods
these do have a larger design i feel like they fit more snugly into my ears
but they are not uncomfortable for me for a select few people they might be a
little bit too large but in general these things fit very nicely they do not
move and i think it is a much upgraded design and because they don't seal into
your ear you get none of that plugged feeling which is very very minimal on
the pros because of the vent that it has but for this you just simply don't need
it and you don't have to use the ambient mode or any software to be able to hear
your environment everything just leaks in now there are two things that most
people don't talk about when they're reviewing the airpods 3 that are
exclusive to these new earpods the first one is a skin sensor that replaces the
optical sensor and this is great because if you ever throw your air pods into
your pocket they won't automatically turn on like the previous air pods and
the next one is the precision finding in the app people lose airpods all the time
and with this feature it can actually guide you to your ear pods just like if
it had an air tag even if they're in their case which makes it a lot more
difficult to lose them compared to airpods pro
now as far as battery life these are also incredible and a really big step up
from the airpods too i was getting about seven hours with just the buds
themselves and i thought that was a little bit too high but i started doing
some research online and that is what people are getting consistently so
that's about a 50 boost compared to the airpods too and then with the case that
adds an additional four full charges and that gives you roughly 35 hours of
battery life which is amazing compared to most of their competitors
now probably the biggest issue with the airpods 3 is the sound leakage these
things get quite loud and the open design leaks a ton of sound i was
sitting in the room and i had him up like maybe two thirds of the way and
redeem two computer stations down could clearly hear all my music so if that's
something that matters to you definitely take note that is something that is
greatly minimized with the pros or other earbuds so if you're going to turn these
up and you're in a quiet room everybody's going to hear what you're
listening to and that open design without anything that actually goes into
your ear canal is probably one of the biggest selling points and most of the
competitors they don't offer that almost everybody makes earbuds that seal with a
silicone tip so apple is making sure that they're still making this design
for the people that love it and overall i get to say that i could wear these for
about two hours longer than i can with the airpods pro and that is a big deal
now as far as sound quality these things sound really good i love apple's new
sound signature and what they have done it doesn't have as low bass as the
airpod pros because it's not a sealed design but for mid bass they actually
play about three decibels louder which is twice as loud while the mid-range is
a little bit toned down and then on the high end the treble is also quite a bit
louder and the ultra highs are toned down once again which gives it a more
natural sound and after over a month of use i have to say that these are my
favorite airpods in terms of sound quality apple's new drivers sound
fantastic and i really hope they release pros that use the same technology
because the sound makes me pick these up and use them instead of the airpod pros
i also love the apple integrated magnets into this case so i just walk up to a
mac safe charging puck and it will magnetize so i had one in the car i have
one at my desk here and at home and it's just super convenient to be able to just
attach it now i do know that the new airpod pros also have it if you get a
newer build mine does not have that so it is one
additional convenience feature now probably the biggest issue with these
it's not really an issue but it's a downside is the lack of active noise
cancellation now over the last month i've been doing a ton of stuff that
requires this so it hasn't been that big of a deal but for certain cases where
for example i'm vacuuming or i'm riding my lawnmower or mowing
that is actually one time where i do want to pull out my airpods pro but
other than that if i'm using them normally and a lot of times i like using
just one earbud inside my ear these work a lot better for that and of course you
have the benefit of the better audio quality so it's kind of up to you how
often you you are going to use active noise cancellation and definitely
something that's very nice to have if you're in a lot of noisy environments
that's probably the biggest selling point that you still have to buy one of
these airpods pros has been around for a couple years now if you're somebody that
spends a lot of time talking on the phone for example phone calls or
anything else the microphones in here are really good this is the microphone
quality with apple's airpods pro in a normal room with some hvac noise and
this is the microphone quality with apple's new airpods 3 in a regular room
that has some hvac noise they're basically the same identical mics as the
airpods pros which are class leading so people can't even tell that you're using
a pair of earbuds it sounds just like you're actually holding up your phone so
there's not much to say there other than it works really well
so overall after a month of use i have found that i really enjoyed the airpods
3 i like the smaller case i like the better battery life i like the sound
quality of it the sound signature that sounds more natural you have more sound
stage or distinction also between different instruments
overall this is the better product now that they actually cut the price down to
150 bucks from the original 180 which was a little bit too high even though
they already dropped it from 200 with the airpods to the wireless charging
case i think this is a really good buy unless you need active noise
cancellation and for those of you guys out there that do want active noise
cancellation i would just say wait for the air pods pro 2 because they're going
to get all the same improvements as these maybe even better sound quality so
personally i'm very excited for those to come out and after a month basically
what i found is that these are much better earbuds than what people gave
them credit for when they came out because not only is it just you know a
new design and basically the same thing like some people were saying so thank
