"If you use AirPods Pro, you are still checking on a widely used headphone set but it is way more consistently sounding. ... AirPod pros are popular, consistent sounding, AND are better in every objective way than non-pro AirPods."

"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"I have the ear shape where in-ear headphones always make a loud bumping sound when I'm moving, so AirPods 4 give the benefits of noise cancelling and great sound without the in-ear effect. ... AirPods 3 always fell out my left ear but they dialed in the size perfect for the 4's, they sit perfect and I've never had it fall out or shake loose doing sprints and a full marathon."

"AirPods are built to last a year the then they fail. ... Every year, right after the warranty expires, one ear bud fails its almost a joke to us at this point. ... we've had 8-9 pairs of air pods fail ... One of the air pods just quit working on all the sets they've had..."

"not sound quality ... Samsung buds pro 2 sound way better than apple's ... bowers and Wilkins pi6 and pi8 even better sound quality again than this"
"the sound quality is terrible imo. ... they sound kind of boxy / middy with less bass response. ... it just sounds flattened. ... these suck ☹️"
"these are by far the worst when compared to price. ... They remind me of those old school wired headphones youd get at the dollarstore, thats how bad the sound quality is to me."
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.
r/apple • Apple announces AirPods Pro 3 with ‘world’s best ANC’ and live translation ->I bought them because my left app2 took a swim and lost noise cancelling. I am happy with a device that fits so nice and call quality with battery life is great. I didn't buy them to experience another level in sound. I don't know what people expect but over all for w the price, size and overall feeling it's great.
r/airpods • Several days later, let's be honest... ->I have both and I ll make it simple for you how much ANC do you need? If you are in flights, trains and want to block lot of noise go with pros if you are going to listen music, calls and at work take airpods 4 with ANC. They are much more comfortable than pros and can wear for a long time.
r/airpods • Help me choose between new airpods ->Yeah. Airpods work with Android phones they just don't support all the features (they don't show battery %, no spatial audio, no Find My Device). Still mostly usable.
r/running • It's time for new earphones, please help with recommendations ->my airpods have been great
r/Contractor • Recommend me work earbuds ->If you already have the 3’s probably not. If you don’t, defo worth it.
r/airpods • Is the AirPod 4:s worth it? ->airpods is by far your best bet; worth the money, takes at least 3years to notice the battery degrade (assuming you use it everyday).
r/Tech_Philippines • Wireless Earphones for Phone Calls ->The NRR rating in AirPods is a relatively recent update as well so I think most people still aren’t aware because for years they didn’t have any official rating.
r/MilwaukeeTool • Anyone tried these ear buds? ->I killed 2 sets of AirPods with too much sweat. I now use Shokz open move when I run or workout. I don’t think they sound anywhere near as good as the AirPods, but they have lasted much longer. I would be open to switching to something else myself so I’m curious to see what people say.
r/sanantonio • Runners, which headphones? ->The Pros have better ANC and sound because of the tight seal. However I prefer the 4s because i don’t like the silicone tips on the pros.
r/airpods • Airpod 4’s or the Airpods pro 2’s ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
