I was sad when I had to return mine last year because they kept falling out of my ears. I had to get the 2nd gen ones.

I wish they would have made a 3rd gen version with the design of the 2nd but all the new tech of the 3rd gen.
 
These things have been relentlessly on sale since just a bit after release.

Makes one wonder if they aren’t moving off the shelves well.

They were too much of a design departure for me personally.

I think it’s more so that the additional features this has over Gen 2 aren’t that impressive. It’s more of an incremental upgrade.

Well…that and the design change makes it not even an “upgrade” at all depending upon one’s preference or ear fit, etc.

Perfect! I just left my 1st AirPods in an Airbnb in another country yesterday. We'll see if they ship them back to me and if they do I'll hand those down.

I got a pair and have to say the overall sound was very good (for Bluetooth). However, much to my chagrin I could not use them more than about 40 minutes before they more than bothered my ears due to their shape. I went back to the previous generation 2 and missed out on the goodness of the 3's. Those that can use them comfortably will find this price to be more than worth it.

Actually this deal is not for new AirPods, the ones they’re selling are Grade A refurbished, which I imagine is different than brand new (see image). Not sure if it’s worth it or if I should wait for the next “upgrade” whatever that is.

I have 2nd gen and had a bit of FOMO when these came out. But then, my wife's airpod pro's keep falling out for me, so it made me wonder if the 3rd gen would actually behave the same way. Based on what you say, that's what it looks like.

And fit-wise, 2nd gen are perfect for me. I have 0 complaints. And after 2 years, battery is surprisingly well preserved.
 
Yeah, the 3rd gen ones were bad for me. Super slippery and they would fall out on their own as they seem to just rest on the outer part of the ear, so it’s really a hit-or-miss.

I hope they realize this and keep the old form-factor around.
 
Still no. Since I just my Beats Flex to listen primarily to voice podcasts, I get a wireless headphone that is not so easy to lose and last 12 hours per charge (twice that of the AirPods 3).
