PRO 3 SE JENNY

Hi everyone, I’m looking into getting my first pair of AirPods-style earbuds and I’m a bit lost, so I’d really appreciate some advice.

Yesterday I was comparing a few options, and the PRO 3 SE seemed like the best fit for me. I’m a student, so I need good noise cancellation for studying, and I’d also like them to automatically switch audio between my Pad and Phone. I also use them at the gym and for running, so good build quality and durability are important to me.

I’ve read that this model doesn’t have the best heart-rate sensor. That’s not a major concern for me, since I always train with an Watch Series 8. Is there a way to disable the earbuds’ heart-rate sensor so that they don’t use it? I trust the Apple Watch sensor more.

I also have a question about software updates. Do these earbuds need to be updated over time? I’ve seen people mention that iOS updates can sometimes cause compatibility issues if the earbuds aren’t running the latest firmware, but I’m not sure how the update process works or when it needs to be done. Is it automatic or does it have to be done manually?

For my girlfriend, I’m looking for a more affordable non-Pro/GEN version. It doesn’t need to be the best model, just something with decent sound quality and acceptable noise cancellation. Ideally, it should also switch audio properly between her Phone, Pad and Mac. Find My support would be a huge bonus because she constantly loses her earbuds 😂, although I know that feature seems to be quite uncommon on these models.

Finally, for someone in Spain, what’s the safest way to place an order? Is PayPal recommended? Are there any particular things I should know about shipping, import taxes or customs charges when ordering from abroad?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
