You just like the thought of it or do you actually use them in conditions where that would be helpful. I’ve used EarBuds, Pro 1, and Pro 2 during workouts and in light rain with no issues at all. I tend to get out of the rain in downpours or at least use an umbrella, so don’t plan on ever putting that to the test.

Planning on upgrading mine I got in 2020 at the start of Covid. My APP1 have been through a lot together with me in the last ~5 years.

Have had both, and pro 1’s. Pro 2’s will always be legends for sound. Took 2 weeks and a lot of messing around with tips but i finally can say i enjoy the 3’s more. Disliked the sound at first but have to figure out the perfect tip size or it wont sound right. Also tips seem to break in over a day or 2 so can take time to figure out. Now 3 sound is very enjoyable - just as much as the 2. Fit better And i dont have to mess with the fit at all unlike the 2’s where i was frequently pushing them back in my ear. Anc like 20% better on the 3’s - but only with the right tip size to you ear. Also i lift/run almost everyday - dont worry about sweat theyll be fine. Ive drenched both 2 and 3 and theyre built to handle it

AirPods Pro 1 and 2 were incredible but they simply fell out of my ears. I liked the Comply tips but they fell apart so quickly and in any wet weather they were ruined. So these are a day one buy for me.

My new AirPods Pro 3 seem incredible, and everyone seems to agree. If you’ve got Apple gear they make a lot of sense. Now, on the topic of whether they’ll last for a long time, anecdotally, my first generation AirPods and first generation AirPods Pro both still work absolutely fine. I use the previous pros in bed and the regular ones at home sometimes when I don’t need ANC and want to give my ear canals a rest. That said, their battery lives are maybe 80% and 60% of what they used to be, so I’m not sure if I’d ever class any earbuds as something for life.

Couldn’t agree more. My first gen AirPods Pro have started to show their age. I’m hoping the next gen gets announced with the iPhone 17 in September. I’ll defo order the AirPods and skip the iPhone this year most likely.

Yep 👍🏼 I completely agree. The amount of use I get out of the AirPods Pro is insane and defo value for money for me being in the Apple ecosystem.
