Don’t buy, choose another brand

Love these! So glad I decided to buy

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2024

Style: Gen 3Verified Purchase

I had the 2nd gen & loved those but my husband borrowed them & broke one. So I decided to upgrade. Headphones with the rubber tips never stay in my ears so I decided to go with these 3rd gens. I love them and the sound quality is amazing. But they don’t seem to fit as well in my ears as the 2nd gens. These seem a little bigger and it’s hard to keep them in place if I’m talking or eating while wearing them. Another thing I don’t like is that you no longer tap to pause, it’s a little awkward to find the button on the AirPod. I purchased a used pair marked “acceptable” so I was nervous they’d be beat up or dirty. They came in in the box in perfect condition. They looked brand new & they’re still covered until Apple warranty until 10/24. For anyone whose hesitant to buy a used pair — don’t be. I saved $60 and they looked brand new even though they were marked as acceptable. Highly recommend even if there are a few small cons :)

Exceptional Wireless Earbuds!

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2024

Style: Gen 3Verified Purchase

I recently purchased the Apple AirPods (3rd Generation) and I couldn't be happier with my decision. These wireless earbuds have completely transformed my listening experience.

First and foremost, the sound quality is outstanding. The clarity, depth, and richness of the audio are truly remarkable. Whether I'm listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls, the sound is consistently crisp and immersive.

Connectivity is seamless, thanks to Apple's H1 chip. Pairing the AirPods with my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook was effortless, and the automatic switching feature allows me to seamlessly transition between devices without missing a beat.

Battery life is impressive as well. With up to 6 hours of listening time on a single charge and up to 30 hours with the charging case, I can enjoy extended use without worrying about running out of battery. Plus, the MagSafe compatibility makes recharging quick and convenient.

Comfort is another highlight. The AirPods (3rd Generation) fit snugly in my ears and remain comfortable even during extended wear. Whether I'm working out or commuting, they stay put and deliver a secure fit.

Overall, I highly recommend the Apple AirPods (3rd Generation) to anyone in the market for wireless earbuds. With exceptional sound quality, seamless connectivity, long battery life, and comfortable fit, they are worth every penny. Treat yourself to an unparalleled listening experience with the AirPods (3rd Generation) – you won't be disappointed at all.... what are you waiting on get yours today!

Apple sucks but the AirPods are good

Reviewed in Canada on June 24, 2024

Style: Gen 3Verified Purchase

I have gone through dozens of earbuds and finally decided to spend the big bucks to get these. Well worth it.

It seems Apple with their proprietary garbage software somehow makes it almost impossible to carry on a phone conversation with any Bluetooth earbuds other than their own. I have gone through many lower costing earbuds and had the same issue of sounding muffled and garbled on the other end of phone calls and FaceTime calls but clear as a bell on messenger audio and video calls , as well as when connected to android devices leading me to believe Apple does this on purpose. I just got a new phone and was stupid enough to get an iPhone 15 which again gave me the same issue.

It seems to be something they incorporated from the iPhone 7 up as calls were perfect on my iPhone 6.

Anyway. Got these genuine AirPod 3rd gens and they work amazingly on calls and have great rich sound for music. The battery life isn’t too bad but does not compare to the 10-12 hours on a single charge I get out of my N7 earbuds

These will likely be the last Apple products I purchase. I’ll be switching to android when my current phone comes due for an upgrade.

Excelentes como todo lo que hace Apple

Reviewed in Mexico on January 12, 2023

Style: Gen 3Verified Purchase

Para comenzar, estos son unos audífonos bastante caros para la mayoría de personas, pero si la pregunta es: ¿Valen la pena? Para mi si valen cada centavo.
1. Ergonomía y diseño. En la parte del diseño, se ajustan bien a mi oreja, al punto que puedo traerlos por varias horas y no noto molestias, incluso (debido a su diseño abierto) en ocasiones es como si se me olvidara que los traigo puestos.
2. Funcionalidad. Estos audífonos funcionan excelente con dispositivos del ecosistema Apple, afortunadamente cuento con iPad, iPhone y MacBook por lo que el cambio entre dispositivos es maravillosamente rápido, estoy hablando de que basta con poner pausa a lo que reproduzca tu iPhone y poner play a tu iPad para que los audífonos cambien al iPad.
3. Iconicidad. Entiendo qué hay gente que no le gusta la marca por lo que es, sin embargo es innegable que se vuelve un icono con los productos que lanza, esto hace que los AirPods puedan convertirse en prácticamente un accesorio de moda, lo cual personalmente me agrada.
4. Funcionalidades extra. Tiene muchas funciones que están “escondidas” así que invito a cualquier propietario del dispositivo a que indague un poco en todo lo que estos pequeños audífonos ofrecen. De igual forma quiero recalcar el audio espacial, el cual noto muy bien logrado y me hace re-escuchar mis canciones favoritas con este añadido, también es propio mencionar lo excelente que funciona el seguimiento de cabeza hace que sientas que el audio se encuentra frente a ti y puedes acercarte a los instrumentos individualmente.
En conclusión: me parecen audífonos excelentes incluso por el precio, aunque recomiendo esperar alguna promo. Así que si eres una persona que disfruta de la música, de salir a la calle escuchando lo que te gusta, la facilidad que brinda el maños libres (el micrófono se escucha fantástico) y tienes por lo menos un iPhone, los recomiendo muchísimo, aunque si no te interesa el apartado del audio espacial, recomiendo que vayas por la segunda generación la cual a grosso modo solo pierde la funcionalidad antes mencionada.
Gracias por leer y ojalá te ayude a decidir si comprar.
Pd.
Tenía un poco de miedo de que fueran piratería, sin embargo Amazon mantiene sus estándares muy altos al momento de permitir a los vendedores ofertar y la tienda es la de apple, así que tengan la seguridad de que son originales, el embalaje fue muy bueno.
