The poster should look up what record low price means. This was previously $20-30 cheaper elsewhere, and Amazon was selling it for at least ten times this price.
 
It would be nice if they told us what reasons there are to upgrade from the AirProPods 1 or 2.

I bit on the 3’s because I had so many issues with the 2’s fitting in my ears. I tried aftermarket tips and the whole lot. I couldn’t get them to fit well on a consistent basis. So I figured for 2 bills I would give it a shot.

The fit is like night and day for me. The 3’s fit my ears straight out of the box with a great seal. The ANC and sound are both better.

I’m not saying run out and get them. If you’ve got 2’s and you’re happy with them by all means stick with it.

But these feel like a decent upgrade to me. I’m not sorry I bought them.
 
The fit is much worse than 1 and 2. They hurt and they are stiff, it's beyond challenging to wear for extended periods. The case is worse in quality as well. I returned them and stayed with the AirPods Pro 2.
 
I’d like to try the pro’s because of the volume on the stem but prefer the fit of the 4’s the anc was a great upgrade for me. I wonder if AirPod 5 will be out this year 🤔.
 
Am I the only one who loves these? These fit great for me, love the sound and the ANC is absolutely incredible! Picked these up at Best Buy for this price and don't regret one bit.
I bought the ones I got locally at Best Buy as well and I’m happy with them. They fit much better for me.

With the 2’s I was always fiddling to try and get the ear seal right. Most of the time I couldn’t get it. The 3’s went right in my ear straight from the box and they work great.

They’re a marked improvement for me.

Got mine at launch and love them.

I also have the APP2 and they’ve become my sleep earbuds. The 3 are my work/fun earbuds since their anc (for me, anyway) is better than the 2.

Had the APP 1 2 and now the 3's. With the latest firmware update, the noise cancellation and overall sound response has really improved. So wanted the Max before getting the 3's but so glad I didn't. And now with the Max 2's coming out, I doubt I will spend the money for them. APP's are so convenient to carry and with the sound performance there is no real reason to get over the ear headphones.

I could have written the exact same thing! I tolerated the poor fit of the APP2 with Comply Foam Tips (the Apple tips didn't work for me at all). Sometimes I could get a good seal in my left ear, but never in my right ear.

When I got the AirPods Pro 3, I popped them into my ears with the default medium tips, and instantly found them comfortable. They also immediately passed the acoustic seal test.

I am absolutely ecstatic about my AirPods Pro 3!

I had the exact opposite experience. I upgraded to 3’s and had to return them because they literally made my ears fe bruised after wearing them all day. Tried all the tips, same issue. Went back to 2’s and they are so much more comfy.

I got these for the sole reason because the Airpods 2 case just died on me like a month after these came out and the black friday deal was coming up.. Honestly if I could have easily get a new case i would have done that because i really didn't see much difference in anything (the noise cancelation is a bit better, but i find the fit maybe slightly worse for me personally)
