Good sound but new pod design doesn’t fit all ears
Got the Apple AirPods Gen 3 recently. I like the improved sound the spatial awareness surround sound feature is nice. I like that compared to the gen1, you can hear what is going on around you sound wise at the appropriate volumes. The bass is rich, highs are good. The controls work well, pods are well built of quality material. Connectivity is good and does drop audio.I will say the only thing that I have a problem with the fit of the AirPods. Unlike the gen 1 and 2 that just hangs well on my ears they’d seem a little loose. When I smile I can feel them dislodging. The smaller size makes it hard to handle if you have bigger hands. While controls are responsive, depending on size of your hands it may be difficult to find the little indentation to control them.This model did not come with the wireless MagSafe charger case. Spend the extra $10 to get that feature. Definitely worth it.Looking back I would have gotten the AirPod pros 2 for a more secure fit. But that is just me.

The Apple AirPods (3rd Generation) are a fantastic upgrade. The moment I put them in, I was impressed by their comfort and secure fit. The sound quality is exceptional, with clear highs and rich bass. Spatial audio adds an immersive dimension to my listening experience, whether I'm enjoying music, podcasts, or movies.

Battery life is impressive, easily lasting through a full day of use. The charging case is compact and convenient. Pairing with my iPhone was seamless. The force sensor for controls is intuitive and responsive. Overall, the AirPods offer a premium audio experience and are a must-have for Apple users.

I was afraid I’d lose these because I have a terrible time getting others to not pop out of my ears, but these are a terrific fit and very comfortable. Easy to hear ambient sounds so removal isn’t always necessary. I also purchased a second party case that can be clipped to my handbag to prevent losing the charger. Controls work great. Speedy charging. Connects quickly to Bluetooth.

The Apple AirPods (3rd Generation) have quickly become my go-to wireless earbuds, offering a fantastic blend of immersive sound quality, comfort, and convenience. The personalized spatial audio feature is a standout, creating an immersive listening experience that makes music and podcasts feel more engaging. The sound is crisp and well-balanced, with impressive bass that doesn’t overpower the mids and highs.

One of the best aspects is the comfort. The redesigned shape fits snugly in my ears, and I can wear them for hours without any discomfort. They’re also sweat and water resistant, which is perfect for my workouts and outdoor activities. I don’t have to worry about them getting damaged by a bit of moisture, making them a reliable choice for various situations.

However, there are a few things to consider. While the sound quality is excellent, audiophiles might find it lacking compared to high-end, over-ear headphones. Additionally, the price is on the higher side, which might be a concern for those looking for more budget-friendly options.

I got this as a birthday gift for my mother-in-law. She was looking for a hands-free device to talk to her old friend on the phone, but the headphones in the house were too heavy for long-term use. She has an iPhone 15 pro max so I got her the AirPods on Prime Day.

Just like the older generations of AirPods (I own a pair of the 1st gen), these came partially charged, and the set up was very easy, just long-hold the button on the case and connect it to the phone.

1 new feature is the personalized spatial audio that required an extra setup, but that only took an extra minute. My mother-in-law used it to watch some homemade videos she recorded and was surprised at how "dynamic" it sounds - for example, in one video, my father-in-law was laughing in the background and she thought he was actually behind her. Overall, it's easy enough for my mother-in-law to use and the audio quality is great. I haven't tested the battery life but it should be sufficient for multiple-hour-long phone calls.

1 missing thing was wireless charging. I thought that all new-gen AirPod cases have that but this one doesn't. Not a dealbreaker though.

 These are not fakes they are legit and worth every cent for people that like to listen to music but it has a lot more features little features like taking calls ,watching videos ,tapping on them ,sensing your ears for when you put in and on , and so much more I’m still learning. when you put them on they have a special design that makes that’s comfortable and can fit in anyone’s ear. Also when there in your ear there super light. The sound quality is way more than I need and has spatial audio that makes every sound feel like it’s coming from your room and not your AirPods. To enable it you have to hold on the sound button on your phone or go to the settings. And if you lost them you can track them with Find My. Overall I give it 5 stars. Theses have every thing you need. Would get these if this is your first time buying AirPods.

Everything is great. Only 4 stars because left one won’t fit securely. The right ear is fine but the left one keeps falling out. I think I’m getting them in properly. Won’t wear them outside as I’m afraid of loosing one. If I can’t get that issue cleared up will return. Hope I don’t have to do that.
