So I splurged and got me a pair of AirPods 3 a couple weeks ago. I was needing another pair and thought - why not? Accoustics are supposedly better and liked the active sound stage thing.
THEY DON'T FIT MY EAR!!! They always feel like they are going to fall out and do not appear to have a good seal. The sound is, well, sounding far away. The previous generation AirPods fit perfectly and have a great seal with my ear.
But I tested them side by side. First the 2nd gen AirPods - fits wonderfully and the sound with encompassing in my ear. Wonderful. Then I put in the AirPods 3. I keep pushing it in my ear further to get a good seal. But oh my goodness! The sound is so much better (though seeming to be further away). The treble and midrange is so much better appreciated and the bass is not as muddy. A vast improvement in sound.
So I am torn as to keep or gift them on. I am leaning towards keeping, but I hate that "not fitting right" feeling. Anyone else have that problem? Thoughts on version 3 vs 2?
I've always wondered if John Siracusa was a member of this forum. Howdy, John!
