Apple - Pro 3 (Rumored)

My microphone is dead because of that debri getting in the holes. Sucks, still like them thoughå

I can’t really thing of anything that they could change or add that would make me go out of my way to purchase Pro 3s. After they added volume control to the stems, my Pro 2s never leave my EDC. My battery life hasn’t significantly degraded either since I stagger use of left and right at work My one unreasonable desire is for them to make a “Midnight” set of AirPods one day but I know that won’t ever happen

Definitely better sound quality and noise cancellation and the batteries a lot better. From the 2s to the 3s seems like an incremental change

wtf, I’ve had my first gen AirPod pros that long? I didn’t even realise the twos came out that long ago. Day one buy on the threes. Such a great product.

2x the ANC performance and 8h battery life alone make this an instant buy for me. Curious about the sound quality improvements -- they did seem to emphasize "spaciousness".

That's my struggle lol I just pre-ordered the 3s but not sure what to do with the 2s yet. I'll probably clean them and sell them on marketplace

They’re available to order literally right now to be delivered on the 19th. I already ordered a pair through the Apple Store app a few hours ago. My card was charged and I have a confirmation email. I don’t know why you’re making stuff up.

I mean, the battery life does eventually start to get bad on these just due to basic physics around how batteries work. Given that the battery is not replaceable due to packaging constraints, this was always a product category that would need to be replaced every 3-5 years. That’s also likely the usable lifespan for most people after wear and tear since these are meant to be used on the go. Just like how old wired headphones also wore out over time. This also isn’t the first new gen of AirPods, so I’m really confused what new information you’re upset about here.

I'm probably still going keep them but total battery life is down 6 hours back to original pro battery life.

looking at compare Im shocked to see AirPods Pro 3 has 6 less battery hours in case then previous. so we get 2 hours more in pods at cost of 6 less total hours.

As for battery life... The AirPods Pro 3 earbuds have an 8hr battery life and has a 24hr battery reserve in the case = 32 hrs total. Whereas the AirPods Pro 2 had a 6hr battery life on the earbuds, but a 30hr battery reserve in the case = 36hrs total. I would suspect not too many people use up both the battery on the earbuds and the case together before recharging, but it does not seem like an upgrade, but more a marketing spin on things to make it look better than it is... I do have the Airpods pro 2 currently. https://preview.redd.it/ia7wy9qkq7of1.png?width=2048&format=png&auto=webp&s=f94cde0b5c00e0f66f963750cf4f07596adbb589

Still using my Pro gen1 in the gym every morning. I only need to charge them once every two weeks or so and they deliver excellent sound. Upgrading to gen3 will be a no brainer for me. I had considered replacing them with the new Powerbeats pro but the reviews were disappointing

That's not apple fanboy stuff unfortunately. They are indeed in another league compared to anything else with open design. The rule of thumb is if it's open, it's somewhat ass. New airpods are downright decent
