No tight seal in your ears
Case still scratches easily
Hard market position between second generation AirPods

Comfortable, Mostly excellent sound, Great battery life
Prone to falling out, Limited bass output
The chief appeal of AirPods, for Apple users at least, has always been convenience. They pair with your iPhone with a single tap; they stop music when you take them out of your ears and start again when reinserted; they switch between devices almost too e...
Abstract: Now that Apple has released its third-generation, $179 AirPods, you're probably wondering, are they any good? If I own the first or second-gen AirPods, should I upgrade? And, is it still worth the extra money for the $249 AirPods Pro ? I'll save you som...

Good sound, Long battery, Comfort upgrade on Gen 2
Moulded, open ear buds, No ANC
We can certainly recommend AirPods 3rd Gen, especially to those using Apple Music. The Spatial Audio experience is too good to miss out on. But we would implore anyone interested to seriously consider the AirPods Pro, if it's affordable, as the benefits a...
Impressive spatial audio, Easy to use, Comfortable, subtle design
No active noise cancellation, No interchangeable eartips, Battery life could be longer
The Apple AirPods (3rd generation) represent a big step up from their predecessors in terms of audio performance, connectivity, and design - and while they come with a price increase, we think they're a worthy upgrade if you have the older AirPods. Howeve...

Dynamic, detailed sound,Great new design,Improved battery life,Outer-ear fit ideal for some,
…But the fit isn't for everyone, Battery life still average overall, Sound leaks in, Smart features are only for iOS,
The new AirPods (3rd Gen) sound excellent, and come packed with useful features. As an upgrade to the earlier AirPods, they're exactly what you'd hope for (as long as you don't prefer in-ear tips). But you need to be prepared to live with sound leaking in...

Spatial audio support is a real bonus, Balanced, clear and detailed sound, Strong battery life,
Beaten for transparency, Still no on-bud volume adjustment, Fit won't be for everyone,
In their third generation, the AirPods are very much familiar faces but ones that have a new hair-do or job promotion glow about them, thanks to their improved sound, innovative Apple-centric features and Pro-inspired redesign.The AirPods Pro still justif...
Refreshed design,Great sound quality,Excellent convenience features,Spatial Audio is very good,Sweat and water resistant,Good battery life
A little big for our ears,No active noise-cancellation (ANC) tech
Sitting in the middle of the company's wireless headphones portfolio, the 3rd Gen AirPods offer a great balance between features and price, whilst also delivering a refreshed and water-resistant design and great sound quality.They aren't the cheapest wire...
For only £50/$50 more, the AirPods 3 offer a lot of added value: in addition to significantly longer battery life, the sound has improved and Apple's new mid-range headphones can even provide Spatial Audio. The higher price is definitely worth it.This art...
Let us start with the elephant in the room- ANC. Unlike the AirPods Pro, it doesn't have transparency mode, even though the earpiece is bigger and has a semi-open design, sound leakage was prominent in the crowded space. While using the earbuds at the off...
