Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and these are the new airpods third generation or airpods
3. they're redesigned and meant to be more like airpods pro but without the noise cancelling
so let's go ahead and open these up now these are 179.99 and you can see we have two pull tabs here
to remove the the wrapper or the top of the box so no more plastic around the box let's go ahead
and remove the top here and see what we've got so it says designed it by apple in california it
says airpods you've got your typical quick start guide and then you've got your safety and handling
regulatory compliance and also warranty summary so typical things there and then we'll move this off
to the side so you can see here's the air pods 3 and looks like we have a little pull tab here
and inside the box we get a charge cable so this looks to be pretty familiar so we'll open this up
see what we've got here and so it's all paper wrappers and everything no plastic anywhere
and we have it usbc to lightning so pretty typical it's not a braided cable or anything
but just your normal usb see the lightning cable we'll set that aside and let's take a
closer look we don't have a charger in the box so we'll go ahead and unwrap the packaging here
there we go and here is the airpods 3. now the case is a little bit smaller than the
airpods pro case so in my left hand i have air pods pro and the right is airpods 3.
they're very similar in the sense that they both have the lightning port on the bottom and then
it's slightly magnetic because it uses magsafe now you have the option to use magsafe so they're
actually holding together pretty tightly we'll take a look at that in a moment but again very
very similar about the same width overall now let's take a look at the air pods and here's
one of the air pods we'll bring this up close and as you can see it looks similar to an air
pod pro but without the tip on the end so you have a little speaker here that goes towards your ear
and then you also have a little speaker microphone on the top and one on the side and on the front
you also have the pressure sensitive buttons as well so you can skip tracks and things like that
so you'll press once to play pause or answer a phone call press twice to skip forward press
three times to skip back and then press and hold for siri or you can use siri and put the word
hey in front of it and it will recognize that if you have that feature turned on so so they
look very very familiar compared to airpods pro i'll take the tip off of the airpods pro
and you can see what they look like the stem might be a little bit shorter and the overall
look is very very similar but you just don't have the tip on the end of it so they're very similar
although you do have the little microphone or speaker on the top or air vent i'm not exactly
sure what that is at this point now let's go ahead and pair these but before we do that let's take a
look at the case since it supports magsafe now i have some magnet paper and the new cases support
magsafe you can see there's magnets in the back and you can see where the magnets are and they
should help align it to say the magsafe charger or adapter so you have that option now and they
secretly released airpods pro cases with this same feature so if we set that aside and bring
in a magsafe charger we'll stick it on the back and it adheres so if you have a magsafe charger
you can adhere it to the back and it should work without a problem now let's go ahead and pair the
air pods so you just open them up if you've never done this before and go ahead and hit connect
takes just a moment and then they pair you also have media control here let me open those back up
there we go and it automatically skipped all of the settings but you have media control and you
can have spatial audio with head tracking with these but you don't have the noise cancellation
ability so they have adaptive eq they have custom high excursion apple drivers according to apple
with a custom high dynamic range amplifier you also have dual beam forming microphones
an inward facing microphone skin detection sensor a motion detecting accelerometer
speech detecting accelerometer and a force sensor you also have the h1 chipset so it
sort of understands what direction it is and it's also sweat and water resistant at ipx4
so that should give you a general idea of how it is let me go ahead and listen to these for a
moment i'll see how they fit in my ear and then we'll talk about if they're comfortable or what
they feel like compared to an airpod pro i listen to the airpods 3 for just a little bit and they
sound pretty good they have a surprising amount of bass and they sound just like airpods pro only not
sealed in your ear canal so they don't have transparency or noise cancellation but i find them
very comfortable as i don't like things in my ear canal so i do use those noise canceling headphones
but i prefer the ones that go over your ears as things in my ear canal sort of tend to irritate
it over time but i do use air pods pro a lot these are definitely more comfortable now you
can hear the ambient noise around them so i find them great for maybe a workplace environment
where you need to hear things around you but you still want to listen to podcasts or music
and i also think they might fall out for some people they're very comfortable they fit in my ear
easily but i do think they'll fall out for some people maybe if you were in an intense workout
or it's going to really depend on your ear shape if you didn't really have the ability to use the
first generation air pods i don't think you're going to be able to use these so you may want
to opt for the pro but in general they seem to be really good and then they have that head tracking
as well and you can turn that on and off let me show you that with the air pods connected you
can go to your control center and you'll see the air pods show up there press and hold and you'll
have the option for spatialized stereo fixed if you tap on it you have head tracking or off so
you get all of the same sorts of options without the noise cancellation features of the airpods pro
you also have live listen headphone levels and headphone accommodations built in and these will
last up to six hours according to apple so up to five hours with spatial audio enabled and six
hours with regular use also up to four hours of talk time on a single charge now the case itself
holds up to 30 hours of listening time or 20 hours of talk time and apple says that five minutes in
the case provides about one hour of listening with the airpods so they charge very rapidly so
it's great to see that and they do have bluetooth 5.0 and so just like any other airpods they're
very convenient there's not really much more to talk about they sound pretty good they actually
sound surprisingly good compared to the first generation they're much more on level with the
airpods pro than the first gen so if you have a first or second generation version version i would
highly recommend you check these out as i think you'll be happy with the overall sound they are
a little bit more money but they definitely sound a lot better and then you have the convenience of
taking them out they'll pause or put them back in they'll start playing and you can use them
for movies and more let me know what you think of the third generation airpods in the comments
