Community Reviews

AirPods Pro 3 stand out for tighter integration with iPhone, improved fit, and stronger battery life, with ANC that feels a bit better than Pro 2. The ear tips can feel stiff at first, but they break in over a couple of weeks and become more secure and comfortable. Sound quality draws the most criticism, with some calling it average or bass light, while others say it sounds great after software updates. The main takeaway is that the upgrade feels most worthwhile for fit, battery, and Apple ecosystem convenience rather than a huge audio leap.

  • Apple ecosystem users who can stack PayPal Pay in 4 offers because commenters reported getting additional 20% cash back (and even extra discounts) on top of the sale price, bringing their net cost down significantly.

    KoopaTroopaXoamatotelxxbt

  • travelers who care about battery life because one commenter said the ANC improvement is slight versus Pro 2, but the battery life increase is meaningful for people on the go.

    amatot

  • people who already have AirPods Pro 2 but are dealing with an expiring AppleCare+ because one commenter upgraded for a new pair as their AppleCare+ for APP2 was expiring soon.

    amatot

  • office and workday users who want reliable daily earbuds because one commenter said these are their daily work/office earbuds and they sound great after software updates.

    freesole

  • buyers who want a better in-ear seal over time because a commenter said the foam/silicone tips take a couple weeks to break in and then they feel more secure and comfortable than initially.

    DrGordonFreeman

  • people upgrading from AirPods Pro 2 who struggle with fit because one commenter said Pro 3 fit is noticeably better in their ears, making it an easy choice for convenience/integration even if other earbuds can sound best.

    mrjed7

  • Costco/Amex Uber Eats shoppers who can use membership + credits because one commenter got the effective price down to about $160 (plus tax/tip) by combining a Best Buy discount, a Costco Uber Eats gift card, and Amex Plat/Uber credits.

    Viet-ThaisonN

  • AirPods Pro 2 owners who are hoping for a big upgrade because one commenter said it isn't worth upgrading from Pro 2, noting they regret paying full price and that the difference wasn't enough even when they tried to recoup value via trade-in.

    tricks

  • buyers who are sensitive to sound quality and comfort right away because one commenter reported the sound is "so average," the ear tips are stiff and uncomfortable, and they planned to return immediately.

    ZepLed

  • people expecting a strong discount versus prior AirPods Pro deals because one commenter said $30 off isn't much compared to last year's $70 off for the latest AirPods Pro.

    Loser510

  • buyers who want an easy exchange/refund path through Best Buy because one commenter said Best Buy would only offer a full refund (not an exchange) for APP3 issues and it disrupted their cash-back/Pay in 4 setup, making the deal feel less smooth.

    amatot

  • people who compare directly against non-Apple ANC/sound and are disappointed by "average" audio because one commenter said Soundcore Liberty 4nc "blew them out of the water" on ANC and that AirPods sounded like "no bass and all treble" even after EQ.

    ZepLed

  • buyers who need live translation to work on their current iPhone because one commenter said live translation requires an iPhone 15 Pro or better and that their iPhone 13 found it not usable, so they passed.

I've had all 3 gens - not worth it if you have the 2's. Mad I bought them at launch full price. Thought I'd be able to sell my brand new, just replaced under warranty and never used 2's for like $200 but haven't yet just got an offer for $100.

Probably will eat the loss but honestly not worth even $100-$200 upgrade or difference if it were me I would go buy the 2's that were just on sale in a different thread.
Pro 2s are still on sale at Walmart. Only shipping though. I ordered mine yesterday and received it today. Can't beat $150 (including tax).

Average compared to what? I do agree about the tips being a bit stiff but it makes sense to give them a bit of time to break in or just get some foam tips (which I prefer anyway).
Soundcore Liberty 4nc and my coworkers AirPod 4s. The soundcore blew them out of the water. They were on par with the 4s just had better anc. There's like no bass and all treble. I even tried to EQ it a little and I just couldn't believe how average the sound was. They are amazing for the apple ecosystem but this being my first AirPods in 5 years I'm really shocked people settle for such subpar sound. Just my opinion.

This does not add much but if you want to save a few more dollars you can stack ra kuten 1% cashback rebate for apple products at BestBuy on top of the PayPal Pay Later 20% rebate

You could say that about most apple products that are underwhelming but because of the fan base get sales.

The ear tips take time to break in because they are a foam and silicone mix.

I came from the 2's and initially hated the fit of the new ones, but after a couple weeks of use I've done a 180. They feel way better now and feel secure in the ears and comfortable.

Is anyone still able to get the Pay in 4 deal? I was able to purchase something off WM literally 30 min prior, but now I am not seeing that option.

That's interesting. Mine aren't lacking bass at all when the tips fit right. I was actually surprised at the amount of bass. The soundcores look interesting though! I used to have a set of over ears from them and they were fantastic.

Just as a reference - I had a few issues with my APP3 (crackling etc...) since I hadn't gotten AC+ I decided to go the local BB to have them exchanged. System would not let them exchange but only do a full refund (I believe because of the PayPal method of payment) Sucks since I have already used up my 250$ cash back limit - now not sure if I want to try another pay in 4 to see if i get the 20% back again,
Also my APP1 trade in is still on the way to BB lol. Looks like the deal didnt work out as smoothly as I wanted. May wait a few days to see If Costco will come down a little on the 250$ included AC+

If you have Capital One, you may also get a $45/75 'bonus' + 22-30% 'cashback' as well through their Capital One Shopping. All said and done, got back $141 in 'value'.

Not a terrible deal if you don't want Apple care. Costco has it for $250 with 2 years of Apple care included.

Have the Sound Liberty 4 pro. Great sounding and the ANC is great to. But I noticed a crackling sound recently in the left earbud that just got worse. Emailed Soundcore C/S and they made me go through all these steps to try an resolve it and in the end they refused to replace the earbud. So I'm off Soundcore.

Can you elaborate on what this is? I don't see this offer on my C1 VX card.
