I’ve noticed worse ANC on the AirPods Pro 3 with firmware 8B30 than with 8B25. I think the ANC on firmware 8B25 was the best Apple has ever released for the AirPods Pro. Why Apple, why?
Got a tip for us?

I feel 8B30 has a bit better ANC, but could be a placebo effect as well. Other than that, everything feels more or less the same.

I thought at first that 8B30 finally fixed the ANC (low end rumble leaking in), but sadly it did not :-(.
I'm so sad that I bought these... APP2 were perfect to me.

New APP-3 Pro from recent Amazon $199. (the delayed delivery) had 8B25. They squeeked. Aweful. A return was imminent.
They eventually, after a few resets, updated 8B30. All fine now. No squeeks. As far as ANC, I've no comparision.
I went up a size in eartips, from AAP-2.
I hope the microphones, and background noise canceling for phone calls are improved over APP-2.
