Pros and cons

According to our earbuds expert

  • Thanks to the H1 chip, you can automatically connect the earbuds to your Apple devices and activate Siri with your voice.
  • With Spatial Audio, you enjoy movies, series, and TV with a spatial audio.
  • The earbuds last 6 hours on a full charge.
  • The earbuds are water-resistant and not waterproof, so you can't clean them with water after your workout.

Description

With the Apple AirPods 3, you can listen to your favorite music within a couple of seconds thanks to the H1 chip. Hold the earbuds a few centimeters away from your iPhone, MacBook, or other iCloud device and they'll connect right away. When you're watching a movie, series, or program on your iPhone, you can turn on Spatial Audio. This technology provides spatial audio that makes the sound three-dimensional. The earbuds last 6 hours on a full charge. The charging case has a 24-hour battery life. Want to charge the AirPods via MagSafe? Choose the Apple AirPods 3 with MagSafe wireless charging case.

Sound according to expert

Because the Apple AirPods 3 are earbuds, they don't fully seal your ears. This means that the bass sounds don't come through as well and are less prominently present. The mid-range isn't boosted, so the instruments and vocals sound exactly like the artist intended. You can't adjust the sound via an equalizer, so you'll have to make do with the factory settings.

Highly recommended if they are comfortable

  • Spatial sound gives a full effect
  • Pairing with devices goes smoothly as usual
  • Trackable like an airtag unlike AirPods 2
  • Short "legs" increase the chance of dropping them

After my Airpods 2 were stolen, I bought them so that I can find my earplugs via the Find My function. Unfortunately, the fit compared to the AirPods 2 is less good for my ears and the cap simply falls out on one ear after wearing it for a while. In addition, I liked that you could grip the AirPods 2 well when you put them in, where others say they are happy that the stem is shorter, I am not necessarily that. I've dropped the AirPods 3 several times (luckily not in a well :') ) and I also find them uncomfortable in the charging case. If I could make my choice again, I would have gone for a new set of Airpods 2, the trackability is not worth the wearing comfort to me.

Miss my Airpods II

  • Longer battery life than Airpods II
  • Fall out of my ear too easily

The earphones have less grip on my ear and fall out too easily. They are bigger, is not a matter of better fitting. Size is also the cause of less comfort. In the long run I experience pain
