Top positive review

Fit perfectly

Reviewed in Australia on 11 March 2024

These airpods are convenient to use and set up. I was concerned that they may not fit nicely in my wife's ears. But no issues there. They are light and comfortable with great sound quality. They do not have noise cancelling, but really not an issue with the great quality and actual sound and when they fit perfectly in ears.

Keeps falling out

Reviewed in Australia on 16 February 2023

I have had the first gen airpods and loved them so when the batteries eventually decided to fade after several years I decided to upgrade to the 3rd generation.
I was excited and impressed with the the sound improvement but thats where it ends. They continue to fall out despite following the fitment guide from Apple.

They fall out so much that whenever I wear them I keep touching my ear to check they aren’t falling out. And the moment I stop doing this, they fall out.

I sit still, they fall out.

I breath, they fall out.

I blink, they fall out.

It’s left me to the point now I find it very unpleasant to use because of the constant fear they will fall and drop onto the ground at the worst time - eg crossing road, catching public transport and etc. Even looking at them gives me anxiety.

I read the reviews and heard others report it falls out but took a chance and got burned.

You can live without AirPods but you shouldn't

My old gen 2 AirPods were no longer working properly after many years of excellent service. I could still hear but the microphone had failed. Decided to try the AirPods gen 3 as I knew the gen 2 fit my ears. I find the AirPods Pro are not so comfortable in my ears; although my wife loves hers. Upon receiving the new AirPods gen 3 they were connected to my phone and other Apple devices within seconds and have performed flawlessly ever since. The fit is good for my ears and the only "challenge" has been the way they fit into the charging case is "different" from the old ones and is requiring me to actually think rather than relying on muscle memory. No doubt this will change in time. These are my third set of AirPods since 2016. The OG version lasted about 3 years, the get 2 about 5 years. Hopefully these will last at least that long. They are not inexpensive but they are something I use for many hours every day and in the way of may things Apple, they just work!

good SOUND BUT HAVE SOME ISSUES READ !!!!

was hard to choose between pro 2 or 3rd gen. i feel the clarity is a tad better with the 3rd, the bass is surprising for open earbud. it has less of the sealing ear pressure feeling that u can get with the pros but of course u still hear rubbing if ur jumping around but the music will cover it up, no heavy thumping like the pro 2s.

however the fit is just not it compared to the pros, and i grew up with those cheap apple wired buds for ipods. u can twist and shove them in as much as u like, and actually when u do that the sound and bass is as good or better as the pros, but as soon as u move ur jaw it will instantly break the seal and u wont feel that sub bass or whatever its just missing. so always feels loose and makes u feel worried that its gonna fall out and yes, if u really shake ur head like headbanging especially to the side it will fall out. as i use the airpod pros2 sometimes even they fall out during intense workout but they just needs to be cleaned off the oils and stuff from ur ears , and think about earwax over time its gonna get into the grills and stuff i reckon it'll be a pain to clean out thoroughly, at least APP2s have an extra layer thanks to the removable tips. however these are durable as expected no damage from falling.

also these ones have NO VOLUME CONTROL?? lol... imagine paying that much and u dont have volume control? cmon man the pro 2s have it, when i got them i thought the sliding action was a little janky and ill just use my phone, but now im used to it its very handy. personally i dont want to use siri to change volume, so thats a negative for me. i guess this is that apple decision making that ppl love to hate on im not an apple hater but thats a bit lame to not include that.

so yh theyre good quality especially if u dont need noise cancellation or anything fancy and u never take this out of ur house lol... cus u will probably lose them in a gutter, or they will fall out and get crushed by a car as u are bike riding. i suppose u could buy some grippy skins for them at the same time u order these to try it out somewhere safe at home, but is that really the best solution money wise and is it totally reliable? they all have bad reviews, expensive, or they have goofy wings over ur ears so im not sure...

i returned them thankfully amazon is good with that, but OI LISTEN HERE AMAZON MATE u better not be giving us these used airpods nobody wants none of that second hand stuff alright?? one of the airpods i got cant remember ap3 or app2 didnt have the plastic seal around the box! so could have been a second hand product..... not cool bro
