...and I liiiike 'em!
First, they fit me really well, a tad snugger than the 2s, and are quite comfortable.
Second, they sound noticeably better than the Gen 1 and 2 'Pods.
They've got a little more bass for a warmer sound without the mids sounding muddy.
The highs are decent, brighter than the 2s but not quite 'bright'.
They also have more detail than the 2s, which I didn't expect.
The increased warmth is probably a function of the shape 'sealing' better as much as whatever magic smoke Apple might have injected.
These also make Apple's Spatial Audio sound decent.
With all the other BT 'buds I have, SA is thin with the vocals and mids stepping back on the stage, not a pleasant sound at all.
The Head Tracking was interesting, but I turned it off.
These are by no means anything near audiophile quality, but they're a noticeable improvement and I'll get another pair when there's another sale.
The wireless charging case is part of the kit, not optional as with the 2s.
And a nice perk — these can be charged by MagSafe.
I don't know if they'll charge with the wannabe QI mats and MagSafe simulators, but that would be another perk.
God, I love these!
