AirPods 3 review: new shape, new fit 2022

May 8, 2023



Apple’s third-generation AirPods have a new design with shorter stems, and they now look similar to the AirPods Pro. Sound quality has improved with new support for spatial audio head tracking. Battery life is also better, and they’re rated IPX4 for water and sweat resistance. If your AirPods are getting old and it’s time for an upgrade, the AirPods 3 don’t disappoint.

  1. Do you prefer open-style earbuds like the new AirPods or more traditional buds with ear tips?

  2. Nice easy info n review as Jst got myself AirPods 3 here with magnetic case ( had a gift voucher fr Apple which helped with the cost) n work seamlessly with iPhone etc…Jst easy to,use…taken on board your comments abt spatial audio as still,trying to find the perfect eq to listen to my music…might go back to stereo setting. Liked n subbed!!

  3. bro looks exactly like ross brawn

  4. Why no one talks about latency for competitive gaming

  5. Best and honest review 💓☺️
    It take guts 🙌

  6. The don’t fit anymore, I’ll be returning them.

  7. 2:08 the best shot ever 😂😂 the second guy walking with you wearing airpods as well and the guy giving us the finger 😅

  8. The 3rd Gen definitely sounded the best of the wireless one’s tested, even with the fan test.

  9. @2:08 anyone else notice the guy giving us the middle finger?! 😂

  10. There’s a guy showing his middle finger at 2:07 😂

  11. 2:08 Welcome to fxxk

  12. did anybody else see the guy stick up his middle finger at 2:08

  13. This guy is a good and thorough reviewer

  14. @apple AirPods are pretty poorly created. Very poor quality in sound. These are just a result of status and not preference. I personally have these and regret buying them always crackling and not enough bass.

  16. lost my 1st gens, i really want the 3rd gen but my ears are small and i'm hearing they're too big and hurt or fall out, is it worth sacrificing the fit for the sound😭 or should i just go with the 2nd gen…

    Love the nuanced tone of your review chris.

  18. The middle finger guy

  19. 5:45 looks s'creepy walking down the sidewalk looking around

  20. It wasn't smart of Apple to return to that eartip free design. Ears are all shaped differently so removing ear tips will mean that a large group of people won't be able to comfortably wear them.
