Community Reviews

AirPods Pro 3 are being praised for stronger noise cancellation, a more secure fit, and a bassier, livelier sound than Pro 2, with transparency mode and run-friendly comfort standing out. The heart rate and translation features also add useful extras, especially for workouts and meetings. The main knocks are that the tuning can be worse for midrange-heavy music, fit still varies by ear, and battery longevity remains a concern. At this price, they look best for buyers who want Apple earbuds with improved ANC and fit.

  • Commuters and flyers wanting stronger active noise cancellation, because the noise blocking is noticeably better than AirPods Pro 2 in noisy environments.

  • Frequent runners needing earbuds that stay locked in place, because the fit is more secure and they stop slipping out during runs.

  • Listeners who prefer a bassier, more lively tuning, because the sound is tuned warmer and can be more fun for electronic music.

  • People who rely on transparency mode for everyday awareness, because it is described as a clear improvement over AirPods Pro 2.

  • Midrange-focused listeners who want neutral sound, because the midrange can sound noticeably worse and the tuning is less accurate.

  • People upgrading from AirPods Pro 2 for a dramatic ANC jump, because the improvement is incremental rather than transformative.

  • Shoppers expecting long battery life without replacement, because the battery can wear down after a few years and the device is effectively disposable.

  • Buyers with sensitive ears who need a universally comfortable fit, because the tips can cause pain or blisters and comfort varies by ear shape.

I don't see the trade-in at apple.com but for BBY, they are offering $35 max for Pro 2.
I stand corrected. Apple doesn't do trade ins for AirPods. Stunning BB has gone down to $35. I sent in my OG AirPods Pro's the Friday before Tgiving and got $30 for those. At the time I think AirPod Pro's 2's were going for $45. But with AirPod Pro 2's being severely discounted now I can see it. Still $35 is better than the $0 they'd get in the back of a drawer.

Why so many thumbs down ? I suspect there is a team just sitting there for putting down vote to such important and useful note, so that new readers keep the concentration on poster's advertising.
Could be because the out the door price including tax is a few bucks more than it was during BF. But the thing is, BF/CM are over and so are those prices, at least for now. Maybe they'll pop back up again in a week or two, who knows. But, yeah, for delivery or pickup this week this is the lowest price going.

These will hit $199 somewhere in next few weeks.
Maybe, but if you are buying for a gift waiting and hoping is a bad strategy. I bought mine for myself, wanted to use them now, not in an unspecified time in the future — already waited since launch for the price to go down a bit. Buy now, price match later. Worst case purchases today almost everywhere are returnable until mid/late Jan.

Have to disagree. I've owned every generation of AirPods Pros and think these are the best by far. The sound is different.for sure, tuned more bassy/lively. Not everyone's cup of tea so that's far.But fit the most comfortable and secure I've experienced with any variety/version of AirPods. The Pro 2's would want to slip out of my ears after a run. The 3's are snug but I don't even realize they are in. They've yet to fell like they were falling out.The bonus feature of translation and heart rate are nice too. The latter is especially great when my AW is about to conk out just before a run.Also bad reviews of Apple products are expected. Lots of Apple hater hobbyists out there. And as for the rate of return, that's completely anecdotal because neither Apple nor any of its partners release that kind of information. Maybe your best friend is manager at a Best Buy, but that's one store of many. Moreover people return items for lots of reasons other than dissatisfaction. For example, buyer's remorse, especially with expensive items bought on emotion rather than for an actual use case.
You don't have to be an apple hater to notice that the reference sound of the pro 1 & 2's has been destroyed.

I got a good deal on these but not sure if I should keep it, because I hate knowing that it will be trash in a few years after the batteries become worn out. It's a great piece of technology and it actually stays in my ear. Can anyone comment on the longevity and repair-ability?

My friend's AirPods Pro 2 lasted 3 years, then the battery wasn't lasting nearly as long. Same with her Apple Watch SE.

Not good enough deal to bite. Especially with mixed reviews. Not sure how much more the 3s offer over the 2s

Have to disagree and I am like you, i have used all apple airpod products. i just use all apple. have to say the music from airpods pro 3 is worse to my ears than the 2. its not horrible but its not worth the extra money for the 3s. i ended up returning my 3s and buying an extra pair of 2s for 139. if you get the 2s for 139, i think thats good enough and you save about 100 bucks. the noise cancelling is better on the 3s, but is it worth another 100 bucks, im not sure. but i think most reviewers say the sound on the 2s is better than the 3s but its really a matter of opinion.

Guys here is something u can stack on top of this deal. YYMV
1. purchase 2 ( 2pack 50$each) uber eats gift cards on Costco, which is available for 80$.
Note:You can only purchase 100$ worth of gift cards on one costco account.
2. On uber eats there is a promotion going on which gives 20$ off which will be automatically applied at the checkout.
with these 2 stacked up.
now u have a gift card worth 200$ purchased with 160$.
and you will be charged for delivery or tax. which can be reduced to again 210 approx using the 25 promotion from uber eats.
give it a try!!!

If you read / trust reddit, the AP3's fitting is not for everyone. It fits me well, but many reported pain and even blisters after wearing it for a while. The ANC is better than AP2, but definitely not 2X. I could achieve similar ANC level with foam tips on the AP2. Sound quality is a personal thing, and as mentioned here, it has more bass than AP2. One thing that I found to be definitely better than AP2 is the transparency mode. In the end, I returned the AP3 as it is not worth an upgrade to me.

They removed the headphone jack, took away the free wired earbuds (and the free AC adapter), and they convinced us spending $225 on earbuds we have to charge was good for us.

I bought a $7 pair of wired earbuds and plugged them in to a non-Apple device.

They sound great.
