First pair of ANC AirPods

I finally pulled the trigger on the AirPods Pro 3 and have mixed feelings about anc.

These are my first pair of earbuds/headphones with anc and so after constantly hearing they have some of the best anc and transparency on the market, I’m left with mixed feelings now.

The transparency mode is for sure very natural-sounding, and I understand why people say that. I could hear myself, others, cars, everything well, and it didn’t sound like it was being played through speakers.

The anc I’m a little disappointed with; I tried it with my room fan and I could still hear it a little. If I play some media, it disappears even on the lowest volumes, but still. ANC It does great with cars; though walking down the street feels almost scary with how quiet it is. I think it still struggles with voices too, but I guess if I’m playing a song or watching a video, it doesn’t matter since it gets drowned out. I’d say for me and my use cases, it blocked out 80–90% of sounds, and the rest any media playing easily covers.

I suppose this is all user error and I had my expectations way too high for anc but overall I’m still glad and I would still recommend you to get them and try them out. I spent a while figuring out the right ear tip combination and finding a good fit/seal. The sound is pretty good; I’m not an audiophile, but everything sounds alright, no screechy sounds at high volume. Speaking of which, I don’t think I’ve even used it more than 50% volume.

A book about a kid taking an egg from a farm and it hatching at home?

I just remembered a book I read. It was about a kid who visits or is at a farm and finds an egg. He puts it in his pocket and takes it home.

At night he puts it under his lamp? Nightlight? And in the morning he wakes up to chick peeping.

That’s all I can remember, but it kickstarted my love for chickens.
