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.
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.
Common Questions (5)
The upgrade is mostly about fit and ANC rather than a dramatic sound jump. Pro 3 is reported to fit more securely, have better transparency mode and stronger noise cancellation, while sound is often described as bassier and sometimes worse in the midrange than Pro 2.
Yes. The tuning is described as more bassy and lively, and some listeners prefer Pro 2 because Pro 3 can sound worse in the midrange or less accurate for midrange-heavy music. Apple may have also pushed a software tweak that reportedly reduced bass and harsh highs.
They are reported to fit more securely than AirPods Pro 2 and are less likely to slip out during runs. The included tip sizes help, but comfort still depends on ear shape, and some people report pain or blisters after longer wear.
Apple does not offer AirPods trade-ins, but Best Buy does and has been offering small credits such as $30-$35 for older AirPods Pro models. The trade-in value is issued as a gift card, not cash.
Yes. The $249 list price drops to $224 after the $25 Target Circle discount, and the final ~$212.80 price only works if you pay with a RedCard for the extra 5% off. Sales tax still applies.

$249-25=$224.00-5% =$212.80.
Price only works right now if you use the Red Card for payment (5%).
Of course you'll have to figure in sales tax, if applicable.
