I prefer the AirPods 1&2 based upon their more minimal design.
I tried these AirPod 3's and the bulb that fits in your ear is larger and less comfortable.
They also take a bit more futzing to take out of case and put in, which is a detractor for how I like to use my AirPods (pop in and out real quick for podcasts)
The 3's sounded maybe a bit better … it overall I prefer Airpods 2

I'm on my third pair of 1st/2nd gen and they fit me great so I'm worried these won't but I don't really have a succession plan as the 1st/2nd gen are inevitably phased out.

For my ears, the Gen 2 AirPods are quite perfect. They are comfortable and don't fall out of my ears during workouts.
I tried the Gen 3 and were slightly less comfortable and while they stay in my ears during walking or normal use, they would always fall out during a workout which is kind of a dealbreaker.
It sucks because I liked the additional features for the Gen 3 (MagSafe case, better sound) but the comfort and fit of Gen 2 means I have to stay with them.
I'm happy with my gen 2 AirPods but to determine the best fit you've definitely gotta try them on.

1) No silicone tips (biggest limitation to switching but my ears are weird)
2) fairly good mic quality (knocks out a lot of the really cheap options)
3) ability to mix down to mono for either ear and use one at a time
4) compact charging case, it lives in my pocket all the time and some cases are quite large
5) no weird glitchy buggy stuff on android, I've had some (like surface buds) have background hiss when not playing audio and play/pause randomly.
Some day I would love to have an alternative but overall, I've also been fairly happy with airpods.

I find they have more bass than the pods, but the pros have clearer highs/mids/subbass. Pros are still good, they don't fall out as easy for me.
