    Let me know what other questions you have about the new AirPods! 🎧

    • Lexy Savvides

      October 19, 2021 at 12:21 am

      @Matt B they do! I totally forgot to mention it 🤦🏻‍♀️

    • Lexy Savvides

      October 19, 2021 at 12:22 am

      @Redrum live stay tuned for when we can actually listen to them and good point about pro pricing! A big part of the audio quality is also going to come down to how well they fit imho!

    • Kawusha KDJ

      October 19, 2021 at 12:50 am

      Noise cancellation available?

    • Treči- Dieči

      October 19, 2021 at 1:04 am

      @Kawusha KDJ there is no noise canceling. Only the airpods pro and the airpods max do.

    • Flameofshark Beast

      October 19, 2021 at 1:26 am

      @Redrum live both airpods pro and airpods 3 have the same audio, the only difference is that airpods pro have noise cancellation and transperancy mode but airpods 3 doesnt. airpods 3 just have better battery and it has no soulicon tips.

    • XTREMEGAMEZ ARE THE BEST

      Haben die airpodas noisdcanceling

      October 19, 2021 at 8:15 pm

      @Jesmond Borg she left a few months ago. I miss her 😢

    • Rob G

      @Kawusha KDJ no

    • Rob G

      October 19, 2021 at 8:37 pm

      @Alex Bong yes

    • Macrae Catalin

      October 19, 2021 at 10:21 pm

      Do they have something like noise cancellation?

  2. Jake C.

    October 18, 2021 at 11:46 pm

    Please compare them to the Anker Liberty Pro 3s.

    Multipoint is overrated… I have the Sony xm3 and when I receive a call (even from WhatsApp) I can answer on my iPhone, Mac or iPad. Connect the headphones normally to the Mac.

  4. Matt B

    October 18, 2021 at 11:51 pm

    Forgot to talk about the new enhanced find my feature. Its like having a AirTag built inside in case you lose them.

    • Lol

      October 18, 2021 at 11:53 pm

      Wait they finally added that to AirPods 3 that for some reason AirPods 2 doesn’t have?

    • Lexy Savvides

      October 19, 2021 at 12:23 am

      I know I totally forgot to mention that 🤦🏻‍♀️ that’s what happens when you are too excited to get a video out

  5. MushroomKid

    October 18, 2021 at 11:53 pm

    Is this meant to replace the pros?

    • Way

      October 18, 2021 at 11:57 pm

      Nope

  6. TerraSai

    October 18, 2021 at 11:53 pm

    I got the AirPods Pro last year during Black Friday for $160 lol

  7. Glomo

    October 18, 2021 at 11:55 pm

    Still rocking OG AirPods. The new design with the shorter stem is just ugly af. The OG AirPods design still looks better and is more iconic

    Wind noise.
    Best solution to reduce exterior noise is utilizing a dead-cat. 🐈

  9. Kinna39

    October 19, 2021 at 12:00 am

    Ah good old Apple – completely tone-deaf to market pricing & unfortunately it still works out for them.

    So should I chuck my previous gens. outside my window or feed it to a local gator.

    • Christopher Crawford

      Yes

    Well, it’s safe to say we know what’s gonna be oh so popular this Xmas. 😁

  14. Diego Tapia

    Please compre to the new sound core liberty 3 pro. Thank you

    Jabra has multipoint connection and works fine with two devices.

    • Lexy Savvides

      October 19, 2021 at 12:23 am

      Yeah! I love it on my 75t!

    Will there be an iPhone 13 pro max drop test?

  17. Jeremiah Perkins

    October 19, 2021 at 12:35 am

    Soooo let me get this clear… There are no noticable difference between these and other air pods… They are just iterating to make you spend more money so they can make more money 💰…

  18. gcforreal

    October 19, 2021 at 12:38 am

    I wish they’d embrace Android like they did with the beats buds . I love my airpods pro but it’s ridiculous it’s not an app or you can’t even see battery percentage on Android

  19. Henry Townshend

    October 19, 2021 at 12:41 am

    Isn’t this a bit late

  20. TheMoises1213

    October 19, 2021 at 12:46 am

    I was gonna buy it until they gave away the double tap feature. I ride bike nobody got time to click stuff. 2 bangs even with bags in my hand is very useful. Guess I’m keeping my earphones for yet another year

  21. lplt

    October 19, 2021 at 12:51 am

    You can find the AirPods Pro for 179 already,

  22. Beal Reactionz

    October 19, 2021 at 12:56 am

    I’ll just wait for the the pros 2, I have the pros now so it’s pointless to get these

  23. King Nano

    October 19, 2021 at 1:03 am

    I’m glad you ladies work for this company. Honestly, you and the lady who had the baby recently are the only reason I hang around. good on you mates

  24. sengly vin

    October 19, 2021 at 1:11 am

    Airpod and Airpod Pro together give a birth airpod 3

  25. Karthik Bala SUTRULA THALAM

    October 19, 2021 at 1:28 am

    Will it support on Android phone?

  26. The Drone Experiment

    Just preordered! Thank you!

    • Digitalknifeparty

      October 19, 2021 at 9:03 pm

      Nice. I might do the same. With my current AirPods, my mic randomly stops working after 5-10 mins, so people are always complaining about me using my AirPods haha

  27. JUR O

    October 19, 2021 at 5:41 pm

    Boring……apple is getting real real boring😴😴😴😴😴you’re program is getting boring 2, were looking now 7 devices at exactly the same devices…..
    There ” my old is broke” I go to the store and they sell the same product with version 3.0 on the box…might be a nice system but it’s very internet boring

  28. yuichichi

    October 19, 2021 at 6:25 pm

    Call me again when they no longer disable spatial audio while sharing audio…

  29. juniorrrrr

    October 19, 2021 at 6:38 pm

    tbh i think they’re a waste, you can get a normal pair of wireless earbuds/headphones for much cheaper and they also have the surround sound that just might sound better.

  30. Thinh Nguyen

    October 19, 2021 at 7:00 pm

    For someone with an ears shape that cannot hold any earbuds unless sitting still, this is like a downgrade from the Airpod Pro. A company as big as Apple should consider providing alternative shape for different people’s liking.

    • Rob G

      October 19, 2021 at 8:44 pm

      AirPods pro 2 will have tips

  31. David Meza

    October 19, 2021 at 7:05 pm

    Still no volume control. Smh. Why do we accept this?

  32. David Meza

    October 19, 2021 at 7:08 pm

    So these are short stemmed Air Pods 1???

  33. Carlos Reghis

    October 19, 2021 at 7:09 pm

    Do they come in different color just like the iphone 13?

  34. Dipz

    October 19, 2021 at 7:15 pm

    Lol I just took the tips off my pros and tried to put them in and they immediately fell out. The designs look exactly the same

  35. Gajrias

    October 19, 2021 at 7:48 pm

    Pls see if its possible to compare with Jabra E85

  36. OgGuak420

    October 19, 2021 at 8:03 pm

    No noise cancellation? I’ll just keep my first gen and my pros

    • Giovanni Gonzalez

      October 19, 2021 at 9:49 pm

      There’s no noise cancellation because these aren’t pros, they’re the 3rd generation of the original AirPods. Just wait until next year where we’ll more than likely get the next generation of AirPods Pro

    • samson Shryack

      October 19, 2021 at 9:57 pm

      No cancel sucks anwaya

    • Ivey 96

      October 19, 2021 at 11:35 pm

      @samson Shryack It’s honestly feel weird for my ears.

  37. Jesse Enriquez

    October 19, 2021 at 8:32 pm

    See I believe apple know what they’re doing

  38. Jesse Enriquez

    October 19, 2021 at 8:33 pm

    It will be powerful

  39. R1_Rebe1

    October 19, 2021 at 8:39 pm

    They went back to the original design. 😑they are gonna fall out easily.

  40. samson Shryack

    October 19, 2021 at 10:02 pm

    I have found the noise cancel kinda sucks on the pros

  41. Macrae Catalin

    October 19, 2021 at 10:19 pm

    Always turn to you guys to see an honest review,thank you

  42. Ryerson Tyrell

    October 19, 2021 at 10:39 pm

    Do they have the same case as airpods pro?

  43. G C

    October 19, 2021 at 11:11 pm

    Its a shame they did not add volume control. Unless they do i am not going to buy

  44. G C

    October 19, 2021 at 11:14 pm

    Be aware there are tons of fake Airpods and Airpod Pros listed in OfferUp eBay etc. don’t fall for these please. They claim to be sealed and never used with serial numbers etc. but almost all are fake cheap Chinese made junk

  45. Afro Beat

    October 19, 2021 at 11:58 pm

    Volume control would have sold me. Come on! RIP Steve Jobs

  46. Afro Beat

    October 20, 2021 at 12:05 am

    The rectangular case is a fail. You can’t open it with one hand

  47. ItsMeMax312

    October 20, 2021 at 12:31 am

    Takes plastic ear tip of off airpod pro
    price: -100

    • Riley Rudnitskas

      October 20, 2021 at 12:41 am

      You also don’t get noise cancellation and transparency mode so if you want that go with the pros

  48. Berner Calito

    October 20, 2021 at 12:42 am

    You should compare them to the Soundcore Liberty 3

  49. ShotDelivery

    October 20, 2021 at 1:08 am

    I still think the Airpod Max looks like a Maxipad…
