Cheaper and infinitely better tap controls? That’s what I’ll be swapping my current exercise focused gen 2’s for when the batteries finally give up the ghost.

I really thought these would drop MORE in price. I got Gen 2's on sale at Micro Center for $129 in May 2020!

Better to wait another 3 weeks (until Nov. 10) and get wired version for $89 at Walmart... unless you really need wireless charging.

Wish I would have bit the bullet when Amazon had the Pros for $179 last week. I keep checking daily just to see if they come back… not yet but fingers crossed it does!

i know, i can't stand this 'squeeze' crap. i use gen 2 as my go-to, and just last week finally received the "nothing one"s, which i'm really enjoying so far. you can even control volume with a swipe.

Amazon had a one day sale on them a week or so ago and I picked up a pair then. Never had earbuds before figure on sale was a good time to try a pair, especially since I don't care about the new features like noise cancelling and so on. They are nice, but one issue I was concerned about happened the right earbud has fallen out a couple times when out walking wearing them. So I brought a AirPod leash for them so if it falls out it will just hang around my neck so for $6 solved that problem.

I used a deal from work. We use virgin pulse which incentivizes you to improve your health. I had $160 in rewards on there so converted them to apple gift cards. Got the AirPods 3 for $35 with tax and shipping.

I wonder how comfortable the airpod 3 compared to the first gen. That’s the main reason why I love the AirPods vs the Pro and Max.

I feel like the force press controls on the AirPods 3 (and Pro) are harder to use than the tapping gestures on AirPods 2, does anyone else think so? I owned the Pro for about 3 days and returned it because every time I tried to use the force touch I'd wind up loosening it's fit in my ear...

I just bought the AirPods 3 and am worried it'll be the same problem....
