I agree with you, yesterday I used my airpods 3 Pro for couples of ours, when I got em off I got scared by the loudness the surrounding.Ā

Having owned both, the air pod pro 3 have insane ANC whereas the pro 2 have better noise transparency.

Legit can't hear anything. Could be riding a forklift and barely hear the backup beeping when moderate musics playing. And 0 engine noise It's actually ridiculous, I'd say on par with Sony's over ear XM6.

Bro the aftershokz are open earbuds. So you can hear around you. Airpods pro 3 and 2 blow everything else in ear out of the water

For open ear, Aftershokz open dots one jus sayin I dont like in ears after these now. Only thing even close is airpods pro XM5 might have more bass but its balanced out by more upper mids so that bass is less textured and you lose lower mids(which is where alot of the feel of music is from)

Bro ignores every nuance about enjoyment of music vs fidelity. And honestly, the monarch mk3 are sharp. you're an ai if you can't understand that sharp ba =\= automatically mean better sound. They measure worse then airpods pro 2 on rtings

my airpods pro2 were spectacular and I beat them up good and they survived a few years with amazing performance/battery life. decided to hand them down to my daughter and buy pro3, and that was a mistake, i wish I would have bought another set of pro2’s for almost half the price.
