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
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.
Im the opposite. I can litterally only wear airpods pro. I wear glasses so over ear headphones press the sides of my them into my head. so there not a comfortable option for me. And any other headphones no matter the brand or type always fall out. My airpods pro 1 litterally never fell out unless I made them same for my app2. I was thinking about getting the app3 but saw how they changed the design and dont want to end up buying them if they fall out all the time.
I guess I’m still deciding how I like mine. I’ve had all 3 AirPods Pro and I’ve loved them all. To be honest the noise cancellation doesn’t seem all that much better in the 2’s than the 3’s. What I am noticing more is that the transparency seems a little better though. I am wondering if anyone is having a better experience with the noise cancellation mainly because of the redesign of the eartips? Maybe they are fitting better in some people’s ears now? For me they are fitting just as well as the 2’s did though and it doesn’t seem radically different to me. I should probably do more comparing of the two but for me they are at least on par with the AirPods Pro 2.
I had to return mine cause they went into overheat mode within 5 mins into the sauna. The 2nd gen last over 20min no problem. I exclusively use these at the gym
I had the OG APP and have been loving the 3s.
