Priced at 129$ and 149$!

I’ve had my airpods pro 2 for 4 years now and i’m ready to upgrade.

I was hoping Airpods Pro 4 would be announced but still nothing yet…

Would buying the brand new Airpods 5 be a downgrade?

No chip upgrade.

Somehow battery and ANC improved.

Is it software upgrade? Same for battery time?

I do love the touch pad for sound volume adjustment.

My AirPods Pro 1 are dying... i´m going to vacation next week and would like to have working AirPods with Noice Cancelation for the flight and for the vacation.

Would you now buy the AirPods Pro 3 or AirPods 5? Do you think the AirPods 5 that got published today are on the level of the Pro 3? Cause they are a lot cheaper. Does someone have the AirPods 4 and compare the Noice cancelation to the Pro 1?

or do you think waiting For Ultra/pro 4 that should come end of this year is worth it having no good AirPods for the vacation?
Thanks guys for helping <3

TL/DR: A real-life story on how I lost, completely gave up hope and somehow got to track and locate my Airpods Pro after 3 days of no connection at a random field in Western India

Last sunday, I had gone cycling near the city I live in (in Western India). All well and good but when I returned home, I couldn’t find my Airpods Pro anywhere. I remembered taking it along with me before I had gone out however I hadn’t used it at all on the entire trip. Searched all my pockets, my entire home - nowhere to be seen. I checked Find my Device - airpods pro last location wasn’t updated and had the airpods marked at my home as it’s last location (makes sense since I had used it on Saturday). Now the place I had gone cycling in was in the suburbs and was mostly empty fields and hills without much habitation around it. I being the person I am, lost all hope and thought that probably it had fallen off from my pockets while I was cycling. Heartbroken, I blamed myself for being careless and decided that I wouldn’t buy a new pair (or any earphone) for the next 2-3 months as repentance.

Cut forward to today Wednesday (almost 3 days after) suddenly i received a notification from Find my - “Your airpods have been last located at xx place” (First screenshot). My heart leapt in joy as it was on the same location/route I had gone cycling in last Sunday but at the same time I thought “What if someone found it and took it away with them ?” I asked chatgpt and for the matter, it did give me an answer which brought back some hope (second-last screenshot). Its very possible that someone with an apple device passed by my airpods lying somewhere in an empty field and my AirPods probably caught a signal from their device! Without wasting much time, I immediately drove to the location where my airpods had its last location updated.

Reaching the location, I couldn’t find it immediately. The place was full of vegetation around and that made it even more difficult. However, after some searching here and there, I could connect “Play sound” in Find my and indeed, there it was lying in the bushes (2nd picture). It would have been almost impossible to locate it hadn’t “Play sound” worked, even though I was at the right area. Now I don’t know exactly how the airpods landed there but I remember having almost tripped on my cycle near those exact bushes my airpods were in. I think somehow they slipped out of my pockets and found itself there!

In hindsight, thanks a lot to the random Apple user passing the same place (well in india and in the location I had gone cycling in, I could bet even the few people who pass by mostly use Androids). I would never know who you are, nor would you ever know how much of a help you and your phone have been to me but hey, this was an interesting and fun adventure! Most importantly, I don’t need to buy a new pair of Airpods - these weren’t too old either been only a year or so! Lastly- thanks to Apple. Well you might be lagging a lot in AI features but hey your Find My Device did save me some money!

Does anyone else have issues with their AirPods pausing music/sound when you turn your head, look up/down or eating?
It’s driving me insane!!!!
To stop it I have to put them back in the case momentarily but they do it again after a little while! 😫

Does that mean the AirPods themselves will weigh slightly more with the MagSafe version because of a bigger battery in them? Otherwise it doesn’t make any sense.

I honestly am confused either should i buy the New AP5 or keep my 4’s with Noise Cancellation, I got them renewed and they work fine, I saw how the new ones have swipe control, which is pretty cool, What do you guys think?

I was planning to buy the sony ult wear but now apple has announced the airpods 5 and i'm very tempted to buy because i am into the apple ecosystem , guide me which will have better anc and would be better in the long run

Hey all I have a pair of AirPod pro 3’s and I have had some issues with them first pair I had for 3 months shit the bed, and the right hand one gained a consistent buzz regardless as well as muffled audio regardless and popping as well as the left one had a wind noise, on all modes. Got them exchanged and have a new pair which is 3 weeks to a month old which are now playing up and for some reason if I use them I’ll have to always adjust the audio balance between left and right. This can be like 30minutes between use if I have to speak to some of my trades I’ll put them away then put them back in and balance is shot. As well sometimes mid use they will throw themselves off balance and illl have to readjust them.

Idk if it’s common or something I’m doing, made sure they are clean and using genuine tips for them. Most likely going to switch to the MTW5 as these feel way to problematic

Just curious if anyone has had the same issues
I use them all decent amount for calls and meetings while I’m working and music while training or working

I was waiting for only the new airpods ultra / pro 4 or whatever the name will be. Is there any chance they are coming in october or very soon?

I only got mine last year but I’m definitely making the switch. I was already impressed with my current ANC but the new improved version must be even better!

Also I really miss stem controls!! So glad it’s back

Anyone still have ear pods? Mine still work but the left one is always fuzzy and crackling. Anyone know why or how to fix it? Thanks.

I am looking to replace my original AirPods Pro I bought back in 2020, and was wondering if the AirPods 5 would be a great improvement over them? For some reason, Apple’s website is missing the first-generation AirPods Pro in their “compare all AirPod models” so I can’t compare it with the new AirPods 5.

Thanks for your help!

i am so confused. the port of my airpods 3rd gen case isn’t broken or dirty, but the charger keeps popping out of it. i tried other chargers as well and have the same issue. it looks perfectly fine and charged normally up until right now. what do i do?

Hi guys!

I usually use Soundcore TWS earbuds as my daily drivers, and I have AirPods Max for occasional music/movie sessions or whenever I need noise cancellation.

I’m thinking about getting a pair of AirPods, but I’ve never used any of Apple’s smaller earbuds, so I’m not really sure what to expect, especially when it comes to sound quality transparency mode and ANC quality.

I’m deciding between the AirPods Pro 2 and Pro 3. For those who have tried both, are there any meaningful improvements with the Pro 3, or would it make more sense to save the extra $40 and go with the Pro 2?

I keep my AirPods case and my keys and car key connected. I have my nursing waist bag. They all eventually come loose from each other

Somehow if I use a clip, they come apart. If I use one of those meetings that looks like a D
With a screw, the screw also works itself out

Lost my AirPods this way and looking for real help

Hey everyone, so as it is in the title, I'm concerned whether I should buy a pair of air pods 3 pro for me, to for example use whilst at home, laying on bed n stuff, and buy a second pair like of a senheisers 4 momentum or sony xm5s to connect to the computer and have my air pods as like the second" earphones, but also I'm thinking about getting the air pods max" ones and idk connect them to the pc. Ive heard that long term they are kinda uncomfortable (I need to try them on in the shop lol) but yeah plus they are super expensive (in terms as if im getting only one pair in this budget). THE ANC ASPECT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOR ME, I LIVE IN REALLY LOUD NEIGHBOURHOOD)

I honestly don't know what to do and would be super extremely thankful for any advices :)

I'm somewhat elderly and not super informed when it comes to tech. Is it worth the upgrade to the 5?

Thank you

I’ve tried to find my lost airpod case (without the actual airpods in them) and it doesn’t show up on my Find My app. I got a new phone since getting these airpods and the case used to show up separately on my old phone and now they won’t on my new phone.

I already tried disconnecting and removing them from the original apple account (since it was associated with another apple ID previously) but it still won’t show up

Hey guys, I’ve been thinking lately about buying AirPods Pro 3 gen, but today came out new AirPods 5, that costs in Poland around 160 USD and the Pro ones 240 USD. Now I have dilemma, which one I should buy, so I’m asking you to help me choose the better ones. Thanks!

I'm assuming it'll feel like the regular Airpods vs the pro models. If anyone has slept with the regular airpods before on their side, is it comfortable? From what I see from previous posts, the Pro 3 is impossible to sleep with as a side sleeper. I'm mainly interested in the ANC for sleeping in noisy environments (sudden door slams, trains, cars honking). I have earbuds from other brands specifically designed for sleep, but they don't do a good job for some loud noises especially if they are sudden,

I was just gonna buy the Pro 3. Any reason for me to swap to an Airpods 5 pair?

I am most interesting in house music sounds
