I’m a long time AirPod user , super convenient and use them everyday at work , on road , and even at home sometimes. Travelling is a most with them as well



AirPod 2s - I’ve owned them since launch and they have served me well , still working to this day but the mics don’t work properly , battery is really good but def not what it was when new.



AirPod Pro - I owned these briefly when new was happy with sound quality and features but the fit was sadly a deal breaker for me and retuned them.



AirPod 3s - I mainly bought these to replace my aging 2s as the mics didn’t work , honestly outside of having working mics and being slightly smaller these weren’t much of an upgrade, bass was better but mids and highs sounded slightly better on the 2s and the fit on the 3s took awhile to get used to as they started to hurt after prolonged use as in wearing them all day at work.



AirPod 4s with ANC - Just bought these today and right off the bat Sound quality blows away the 2s and 3s like night and day difference , ANC works really well , friends say voice quality is better , and all the other features and case make this an awesome buy , highly recommend over base 4s

My wife is going to get my 3s as her 2s batteries are really bad now.

What about the fit? I have 3’s and the right hand one always falls out before the other one. If I wear them to the gym they’ll just fall out after a very short time.

For my ears , the 3s head is slightly bigger then the 4s but the 4s stay in better , I actually almost lost a 3 pod , fell out of my ear and I had to use the find-my app to find it.

4s don’t seem to fall out or feel like they want to fall out.

“Fit” is going to be different for everyone. Some say it is better than previous models. I for one like the fit on the 4 ANC much better. I am amazed at how well the ANC works and the greatly improved sound quality.
