Con The Cons: Real-World Issues
Complaint Warm and slippy eartips 2026-02-28

AirPods Pro 3 eartips are so weird they fit fine all of them but after some time they all feel kinda warm and slippy I don't know how to explain it, I also don't know how to find the right eartip because all of them feel fine and the test says all of them give a good seal but they all get that warm/slippy feel after some time. I clean my ears every other day and the eartips are brand new does anyone know why I get that warm/slippy feeling, also the M and L eartip needs a harder push to get in my ear does this mean

Complaint Battery drain issue 2026-02-27

Airpods Pro 3 case battery drain issue. Case will say it is charging when it isn't. Anyone else experience this? I decided to upgrade and get the Airpods Pro 3 having owned both the AP1's and AP2's. I like them well enough but I had noticed the battery was losing charge quickly when it was just sitting unused. Specifically, I had charged them and then not used them for about a day and half. I went to go on a walk with them and noticed they were low on charge. The Airpods were at about 30% and the case was at 5%. H

Complaint Left ear hears more ambient sound 2026-02-24

Customize the frequency response on Airpods Pro 3? I've got a really annoying issue on my APP3 since a few weeks : **when Noise Reduction is ON**, I can hear a bit of the ambiant sound in the left ear, as if the left pod didn't filter the sound as well as the right one, and let pass a bit of the higher frequencies from outside. **when Transparency is ON**, I've got the opposite problem : the ambiant sound is duller in the left pod vs. the right one. Which make me think the issue comes from the mic in the left

Battery life in daily use 2026-01-16

Hey y’all, I am looking for a pair of headphones that I can use for 8+ hours a day. I plow snow in a tractor(kubota L4760 if you’re wondering) for a campus, I find my AirPod pros doing a great job with the noise cancellation but 4-5 hour battery life isn’t ideal because I often have to talk on the phone while I’m running the tractor. So I am looking for something that has a long battery life, noise cancellation while using voice isolation so there’s minimal background noise for iPhone 14/iphone 17 pro max. I don

Got it right out of the box 2026-01-15

Bought the earfun too (coming from Apple AirPod pro 2). For me at least Apple got it right out of the box. I’ve messed with EQ and it’s hit and miss on some stuff (I like a variety of music). So I’m gonna try and amend it to find the best balance and if I can’t then I’ll go back to the AirPods

significantly better noise cancellation 2026-01-06

Am i the only one who finds the noise cancellation on the airpods pro 3 dare i say SIGNIFICANTLY better than the noise cancellation on the Xm6?. Im not sure if its because the seal is much better with the airpods vs sonys shitty earcuffs but its like a noticeable difference in sound blocking in pretty much every condition. Most likely gonna sell the xm6 and buy bose qc ultra 2s and see if they stack up any better( i was a diehard QC fan but i caved to the people sayingthe xm6 was out of this world and bought it bef

Comfortable for long wears 2026-01-04

I am in Canada, I need your advice on finding my next headphone or earphone please. I prefer wired ones but wireless would do. Must be compatible to iPhone (usb c). Budget up to $500 Usage: Only for taking calls , literally. I don’t really listen to music on phone. I am in calls all day, one after another. Currently using the same AirPod pro for the last 4 years. I fine it really comfortable for long wears, doesn’t hurt my ears. Problem 1 ( minor inconvenience): Battery life is not very good, embarrassingly di
