AirPods Pro 3 stand out for stronger noise cancellation, a better in ear fit, and longer battery life, with extras like heart rate sensing and live translation. The foam and silicone tips are also credited with improving the seal, which helps both sound and ANC. Sound quality is the main tradeoff, since the tuning is described as less neutral than AirPods Pro 2 and fit still varies by ear. A solid upgrade if comfort and ANC matter more than pure sound.

  • buyers who can use store price matching to hit the $199 level because multiple commenters said Best Buy can price match the Walmart deal (often via chat) and that it worked for them.

  • iPhone users who want Live Translation features and are on a compatible iPhone because commenters noted the translation performance depends more on the iPhone than the earbuds, and Pro 2 also supports it on newer iPhones (so you'll get the feature if your phone supports it).

  • people who already own AirPods Pro 2 and want noticeably better noise cancellation and a more secure in-ear fit because commenters who've used multiple generations say Pro 3 is appreciably better on ANC and fit, even if the sound difference is smaller and personal.

  • long-flight or bus-commuting iPhone users who care about battery life because one commenter chose Pro 3 for slightly better ANC plus about 2 extra hours of battery life, while noting Pro 2's case has more charges for times away from power.

  • workout-focused buyers who struggled with AirPods Pro 2 staying in during exercise because a commenter said Pro 2 "doesn't stay in" for workouts and they'd trade some sound quality for Pro 3 if it stays put without extra attachments.

  • people who want to upgrade from AirPods Pro 2 to Pro 3 at a small price gap because one commenter said they upgraded last week and it was worth it "considering the price difference."

  • people who prioritize sound quality over ANC/fit because some commenters said AirPods Pro 3 is a major step backwards in sound quality versus Pro 2, and others returned Pro 3 because it sounded worse than the 2s.

  • people who have had comfort or fit problems with AirPods Pro 3 because multiple commenters reported poor fit/comfort (including "too fat" fit) and said they returned them or wished they fit better.

  • buyers who are relying on Walmart delivery/fulfillment to go smoothly because commenters reported Walmart issues like order cancellations/delays, delivery problems, and even receiving damaged/empty packaging.

  • buyers who need the earbuds to stay secure when straps/gear move near the ear because one cyclist described helmet straps grazing the earbuds and making them loose, and they compared it to other earbuds with different tip shapes.

  • people who are expecting Live Translation to be broadly useful because one commenter said Live Translation wasn't useful for many people (and noted Pro 2 also supports it), so it may not justify the upgrade for everyone.

  • people who are sensitive to ear pain or have had adverse comfort issues because at least one commenter reported ear pain lasting over a day and said they were scared after reading about multiple replacements still having issues.

Pros 2 sound a lot better. These are a major step backwards in terms of sound quality.
I have pro 2s and they don't stay in my ears unless i'm just sitting still. They are awful for wearing while working out. i've tried a couple of the attachments to hook around your ears or the ones with hooks that go inside your ear. those work ok, but it's just something else to have to put on and off every time i want to use these. i've heard the pro 3s are supposed to stay in better without needing to use any additional pieces. i'd gladly give up a little on sound quality just to make the damn things stay in my ears.

Silly website is thinking DC is outside of the US and won't let you purchase Apple Products if your shipping address is in DC -

great another item that goes further down post BF/CM - lesson learned for next year.
On another note - got these from Amazon at 220+34 for AC+ (I had 3$ no rush) -
lets say I want to return and repurchase from walmart/ bb - would the AC+ be easy to get refunded? or I would have to go through apple?
ultimately I got 8% cash back on my prime card so I am not sure its worth the hassle for a few dollars but thats why we're SD'ers. 😁

Quote from spec2 View quoted comment :

OP probably doesn't care for the more lively bass heavier (not heavy) tuning compared to the 2s. I love the sound of the 3s, but sound is largely personal which is why so many headphones and buds come with equalizers.

I've owned every variation of the Pros and the 3s are by far the best yet. The sound is not THAT different from the 2s but the noise cancellation and in-ear fit is appreciably better plus you get the heart rate sensor and foreign language translation features.
The foreign language translation feature is more dependent on your iphone than the Pros, the Pro 2s has it also if you have an iphone 16(?) or newer.

The AirPods Pro 3 use foam and silicone tips for a better seal. I bought foam tips for my AirPod pro 2's and they sound SO much better. Better sound and much better noise cancellation.
