Are 2Nd Or 3Rd Generation Airpods Better

Apple AirPods with MagSafe Wireless Charging Case (3rd Generation) continues to deliver an exceptional experience for Apple enthusiasts. Its blend of improved design, sound quality, seamless integration, and the convenience of MagSafe charging cements its position as a top choice for those seeking premium wireless earbuds within the Apple ecosystem.

As I make lots of phone calls, the mic performance is the only thing I care about and I have gone through all the major earbuds on the market. If you own an Android device, look elsewhere as Airpods on Android sounds different, but for any iOS device, nothing beats Airpods. I currently own 2nd gen AirPods, 3rd gen AirPods, and Airpods Pro. The following experience is based on an iOS device. In a quiet environment, all three perform quite similarly. If I have to choose, Pro would be #1, followed very closely by the 3rd gen. Airpods Pro In a noisy environment, Pro is hit or miss. Pro's mic tries really hard to cancel every noise around you. When it works, your voice is very clear, but sometimes the mic randomly cancels your voice along with the noise. So when the other caller can hear you, they can hear you really well or hear nothing at all time to time. 2nd gen In a noisy environment, the mic picks up lots of noise and doesn't cancel along with your voice. The other caller can identify that you are in a noisy environment, yet you can continue the conversation without major distraction. 3rd gen Just like the 2nd gen, it picks up lots of noise around you but sounds a little crisper. After using the 3rd gen for a while, I went back to the 2nd gen and the other caller mentioned how muted I sounded. Case sizewise, 3rd gen is very similar to the 2nd gen but maybe 2-3mm wider and fatter. The Pro case is just the biggest of all. Overall, I would choose the 3rd gen for any phone calls and the Pro for any listening purposes. The 2nd gen is just great for the price.

This is my 3rd IPad & though I loved them all - I upgraded in particular to the 4th generation IPad Pro to take advantage of all the new features - my last IPad Pro was a 2nd generation. Since I’m into photography & art, this IPad Pro works great for me.

This is my 2nd & 3rd emberton . I really enjoy and love these!

Easy, as a back-up 2nd/3rd .wav for a 633 & the like...

Used the new Generation 3 AirPods! I must say they sound great! Good highs, Base.

The 3rd generation Ilok is much more solid and sturdy then the previous generations.

The Open Run Pro are my 3rd generation purchase. Love them!
