That’s ridiculous — no one with functioning hearing would say the Pro 2 sounds better.yeah AirPods Pro 2 sound much better, with any blind test everyone would say the pro 2 are the new ones with better sound and bass
The Pro 3’s sound and bass are noticeably superior to the Pro 2. Period. End of story.
However, a lot of this comes down to fit.
Using smaller ear tips (due to comfort issues) affects both the sound and ANC significantly — even when the iOS seal test says the fit is good.
Also, if you have wider ear canals, using the default ear tips can have the same negative effect.
After using them for a few days now, I can confidently say the sound quality and bass are clearly better than the Pro 2.
But the comfort isn’t quite as good, and if I go with smaller ear tips, I lose some ANC.
For reference, I own eight pairs of high-quality full-sized headphones — some costing $1,000 — so I have a pretty solid idea of what good sound is.
