Most of the reviewers are influencers. I miss the old days. A total disgrace wasting every second of your life to watch such kind of reviews.
 
Hard pass I don’t watch, listen or trust any of them. I tend to make up my own mind.
 
"The overall fit of the new model is similar to that of the first two AirPods, which means that there will be a good number of people who won’t care for it."

Everyone's ears are different.
The Airpods, and Earpods, got a lot of hate because lots of people can't use them. The design of those airpods/earpods don't fit onto people's ears and they fall off.
That's exactly why I don't like them as they don't fit and fall out every time!
Was expecting the new AP3 to be different, but apparently, some of the reviews, like Engadget's review, stated that it's essentially the same, on ear design.

I'll stick with the AP Pros.
Don't get the hate for the APPs except that most people most likely have Never used In-ear earphones like monitors from makers like Westone or Shure, which cost much more than APPs.
The eartip foams are the key in that if you find the right pair, it should fit into your ear canal and create a nice seal for passive noise cancellation.
You get used to having something placed in to your ear canal though some people don't like that feeling.
To each their own.

Some people don’t like the silicon tips jammed in their ears. Not entirely sure what you find difficult about that to understand?

Agreed. I have the 2nd Gen AirPods, and the AirPods Pros, and I like the APPs, but they're far from comfy after a period of time. Ouch.
 
Looking forward to seeing more unboxing videos and reviews from normal everyday users.
