After Apple AirPods 2 and AirPods Pro, Apple is expanding its offering in the landscape of fully wireless earbuds with AirPods 3. These new earbuds have a small charging case and sit firmly in my ears, but I don't think the bass is powerful enough.
design
When unpacking the earbuds, the charging case immediately catches my eye. This one is a lot smaller than the one on my AirPods Pro, which makes it even easier to take it with me. The design of the earbuds themselves does resemble that of AirPods Pro, which I like. This design is a lot smaller and more compact than that of AirPods 2, which ensures a firmer wearing comfort.
Connected automatically
When I put the earbuds in my ears, they connect to my iPhone almost instantly. This way I can listen to my favorite music within seconds. There is a pressure-sensitive button on both earbuds, which I use to control the music. I find this to work much nicer than touch control, because it is less prone to errors.
Reasonable bass
I think the biggest downside to earbuds is the bass response. Because this type of earplugs do not go directly into your ear canal, the reproduction of the low tones is not ideal. Despite this, AirPods 3 deliver a fairly powerful sound, especially at medium volume. When I turn up the volume a little, the bass sounds shrill.
