have to agree I have both the Bose gen 2 and the APP3, the Bose are definitely better in ANC but the APP3 is still the transparency king and by some distance

I didn’t know so many different brands of Earbuds existed until I got the AirPods Pro 3. Is there a way to try these other brands out before purchasing them?

I’ve used the sennheiser memento true wireless earbuds for years. Tried the AirPods Pro 2 for the first time last week.
Jesus wept. Terrible sound quality. Really weak and boxy sounding.
Don’t know why anyone would buy them if you care about listening to music.

What I love about these headphones is their fatigue detection system. You yawn, and they immediately stop playing. The system is simple and relies on gravity. In fact, one yawn and the headphones pop out of your ears and land on the floor !

I think if you’re listening to music for sound quality you’re probably not using wireless earbuds. AirPods are nice because of their integration into the ecosystem and they sound better than the competition (Samsung, Google, OnePlus, etc). I have Bose for running and working out, but it lacks many features of the AirPods I have, so around town, I’ll use AirPods.
