Best deal of AirPods Pro 3 right now.

Costco now sells $100 Uber East gift Cards for $80.
I bought two for $159.99
Costco has a deal with Uber Eats now of 20% off your first 3 orders if $100 or more.
If you combo those together you get the AirPods Pro 3 with 2 years of apple care + for $160.
Can’t be beat
But does need the Costco membership

Should I buy Airpods pro 3 during black friday or wait 1-2 till airpods pro 4 drops

I have never had Airpods in my life and I was wondering if it's worth to buy during black friday or wait the next model. I am a person who listening regularly music, make phones calls and ecc... And I have a thing for losing my personal stuff such as wallet and earbuds.

I have currently a Soundcore 4 NC but battery got degraded overtime.

What's your opinion / experience?

My recommended Apple EQ settings to make Airpods Pro 3 more neutral

Background:
My audio preference is Neutral. My favorite IEM is CrinEar Reference. My favorite headphone is Hifiman Arya Unveiled with some EQ.

I could not bear listening to music on my Airpods Pro 3. The treble hurt my ears. I only used it for podcast and online business meetings. The noise canceling is pure magic. The battery life and ease of use is top-notch.

=====

Now with iOS 27 EQ, APP3 music becomes much more bearable to me. With spatial audio, it's even enjoyable because you get the soundstage similar to the best soundstage offered by great headphones such as HD800s.

Please refer to my pictures.
Pic #1: What Apple EQ does, in parametric EQ language, according to test by Listener (Apple's AirPods EQ: Is It Any Good?)

Pic #2: What my EQ adjustment would theoretically achieve. Note: This is only done by calculation, I determined my EQ primarily by doing actual A-B tests.

Pic #3: My actual EQ settings.

Happy to discuss more~

AirPods Pro 3 is currently 179 on Amazon. I see there’s two version for the 5 and both have ANC. Is it worth getting the 3 or is the base model a better value? Coming for AirPods Pro 1

OnePlus Buds Pro 2 User in the Apple Ecosystem – What am I missing out on by not having AirPods Pro 3?

I currently use the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 and they work great. I have no complaints, and the dual connectivity is a lifesaver.

However, my core setup is entirely Apple:

  • iPhone 16 Pro Max
  • iPad Pro (M5)
  • MacBook Air (M4)
  • Apple Watch SE 3

For those of you who use AirPods pro 3, what am I really missing out on? I assume the sound quality is comparable, so it mostly comes down to ecosystem benefits.

The AirPods Pro 3 would cost me around 22K INR. I’m willing to spend that if the upgrade is truly worth it. I’d love to hear from anyone who has used both to help me make a decision.

Thanks!

How accurate are Apple decibel measurement

I play music on top volume with Spotify adjustment to make the music louder. My AirPods (airpod 4) says that I’m listening to hours of 105 decibels. But I don’t feel any hearing loss or tinnitus. Is there a chance that these measurements are inaccurate given that AirPod 4s are not fully sealed like the pros?

Is It Worth Switching from AirPods Pro 2 to AirPods 5?

I’m using AirPods Pro 2 and thinking about switching to AirPods 5. Has anyone tried both? Is it worth it? I’d love to hear how the sound, comfort, and everyday experience compare—especially whether I’d miss the noise cancellation.

Need help compare sound of Open ear Airpod vs Earpods

To anyone have both Open ear Airpod any version and Earpods . Do you ever listen to one side only and compare the sound of them ? I have an Airpod 2 pro and an old earpod , i often listen to one side only when sleep , i find that listen to earpod on one side make the bass disappear and alot of frequencies in the low mid become boxy , underwater like , i can say it very uncomfortable to listen to the sound of it . I have to buy another Airpod to use right now and consider the Airpod 5 or older version 2nd for cheaper price compare to the pro version but i'm afraid that when listen to Bass music or listen to one side only make the sound worst since these are open ear like the earpods i have .
So my question is "Do Airpods open ear sound enhanced alot since Earpods ?" what are your guys experience ?

Does AirPods 5 have the same hair rustling issue as AirPods 4 ANC?

I love my 4 with ANC. Only thing is I have long hair that comes out to my face, and every time it brushes against the pods it makes a brushing, rustling noise. I always have to tie up my hair to avoid this. Is the 5 the same? Thinking of getting a pair for flights.

Right AirPod Pro 3 sometimes doesn’t charge in the case — anyone else experiencing this? I’m using the AirPods Pro 3, and I’ve noticed an annoying issue with the right AirPod. Sometimes when I put it back into the charging case, it doesn’t actually start charging. I have to slightly tweak/move it

Right AirPod Pro 3 sometimes doesn’t charge in the case — anyone else experiencing this?

I’m using the AirPods Pro 3, and I’ve noticed an annoying issue with the right AirPod.

Sometimes when I put it back into the charging case, it doesn’t actually start charging. I have to slightly tweak/move it around or push it down a little until it makes proper contact, and then it starts charging.

The left AirPod seems completely fine.

Has anyone else experienced this with their AirPods Pro 3? Is this likely to be an issue with the charging contacts, the case, or the AirPod itself?

I’ve already made sure there isn’t any obvious dirt/debris in the case.

Should I get it checked/replaced, or is there some fix I’m missing?
