[r/airpods] The difference for me was huge. ANC is insane with the 3s. When in an airplanes itβs like the engines switch off when you put them in. Sound quality is better also.

Complaint Earpieces squeak loudly and fail within months 2026-06-20
Whats wrong with AirPods Pro 3 Hello guys, I love these headphones and they were a great upgrade from the first generation. But at the same time, either I'm unlucky or Apple made a very unreliable model. A few months after purchase, the right earphone started squeaking so loudly that it was dangerous to hearing. The service quickly replaced it without any problems. A month after this repair the left earphone started doing exactly the same thing. And here's my question: Did Apple seriously create such an unreliab

AirPods Pro 3 Spatial Audio + Dolby Audio = π§βπ³π I'm so shocked, the audio out the box sounds weird but with Headphone Accommodations on and turning balanced tone to medium for media is insane!

Like better anc and bass depth than the 2s 2026-06-20
[r/airpods] Itβs just personal preference really. Audio is subjective and many people felt the 2βs sounded better. For me Iβm in the same camp as you, I bought the 3βs day 1 and once I got them I instantly loved them. They fit me perfectly, have better ANC than ever, and I love the better bass depth. The 2βs, while I loved them as well, the right side always fell out a

Finally gave in, AirPods Pro 3! I bought this brand-new last Friday and have been using it for work, walking, and studying for the past two days. It's been an incredible experience! I've also tried out the hearing aid features, and so far, it works exceptionally well, especially since my left ear has a slight hearing difficulty due to a perforated eardrum. Do you have any tips and tricks to help me fully take advantage of the AirPods Pro 3s? *(I am not sure as to what flair is the correct one for this post, but t

Faulty Airpod pro 3s, bad apple support Hello everyone, Please bear with me this is my first time posting on reddit. I bought a pair of AirPods pro 3s. Out of the box the right AirPod had a weird echo feedback sound, High pitch sounds, bad ANC and terrible bass. I heard this was a common issue so i reached out to apple support because they're still under warranty. They stated that they ONLY offer repair. They said i had two options, i could either go to one of there repair stores or send in the faulty airpods th

Just got my Pro 3. Tried all the eartips and the small ones fit me best.

Complaint Mic quality issue 2026-04-25
AirPods Pro 3 water resistance I was out running when it started raining really heavily and I got soaked. I stopped playing music as soon as I got home and waited at least 3 hours before putting them back in the case. A day later, the sound is fine on both. However, the right AirPod's mic (the one used for ANC) is acting strange. In Adaptive Mode, it doesn't cancel noise as well as the left one. It feels like "sound leakage", similar to when they aren't fitted properly. I can feel more noise entering my right ear

AirPods Pro 3 Battery Life is elite This is probably old news, but I'm coming from AirPods Pro 1 that would die in a few hours... it's night and day vs Pro 3. I literally never have to charge my AirPods Pro 3 case it feels like. Maybe once a week if that. Finally a new Apple product with no issues and great battery life. AirPods Pro 3 AirPods Pro 3

Complaint Left earbud quits audio 2026-03-08
AirPods Pro 3 keep quitting I wanna keep this short, the audio in my left AirPod keeps quitting. I sent them to Apple for repairs since they're under warranty, but they couldn't find an issue. Twice, coughing made the left earbud quit putting out audio, once, pulling the AirPod out of the ear made it quit, and twice it quit on its own, all over the span of 3 weeks. It had only quit once when I sent them in. The controls on the AirPod continue working, it just doesn't put audio out and noise canceling/transparenc

Wearing AirPods Pro 3 with oily ears After trying out all the sizes, it feels like the SX size is the best fit. Regardless, they eventually will slide out of my ears due to how oily I get. Is there a good way to deal with that? My best guess would be foam tips. My main concern with foam is them falling apart. AirPods Pro 3 AirPods Pro 3
Like elevated sound quality 2026-03-07
Wonder if naysayers are using this setting. I see a bunch of naysaying YouTubers talking about the sound quality of the AirPods Pro 3 but they never talk about using the Headphones Accommodations settings under Accessibility to fine tune to their sound preferences. My opinion is that most people may have a sound preference as we all do with food preferences when it comes to spice level, salt etc. I've found that dialing into my sound preference on my APP 3 has elevated the sound quality and given me an amazing exp

I like them. I had the AirPod 4 with ANC for a year then got the AirPod Pro 3's. The old AirPod 4's would fall out occasionally, but the Pro 3's have never done that. I HATE things in my ears which is why I resisted the Pro's for so long, but I've been training a group of people on Microsoft Teams at work for weeks remotely and I have them in for 7+ hours a

AirPods Pro 3 have weird static only on one side. Got myself a pair of AirPods Pro 3 two days ago and I've been loving them. Today I noticed a bit of a static sound in the background, best described as really mild tinnitus (I know since I have tinnitus). I tried resetting, cleaning, and a million other things that never helped. Only thing that did help was changing the ear tip from medium to extra small (medium, small and extra small all say good fit when doing the test in settings). The sound is only prominent

I absolutely love my new APP 3's that I just got....but recipients are all complaining about my voice. I've had my Airpods Pro 3's for a solid week now, and although I absolutely love the ANC capability of these bad boys, people on voice calls (friends, customer service sessions, etc.) are ALL saying they can't hear me properly. It is consistent, and very disappointing to me. I haven't really seen any recent posts about this. I've tested the Airpods on the receiving end and they DO sound like crap on voice recordi

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

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

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
