In this video I get into the big question everyone’s asking: do the AirPods Pro 3 actually sound better than the AirPods Pro 2, and is it worth upgrading. The main thing I focus on is the idea that Apple changed the “signature sound” on the AirPods Pro 3, and why that’s causing so much debate. I break down what people mean when they say the tuning or signature has changed, and what that realistically could mean for everyday listening—especially if you’re coming from the AirPods Pro 2 and you already like that sound. I also address the controversy sparked by The Headphone Show video, specifically around the intricacies (and limitations) of measuring AirPods sound quality. I talk about why TWS measurements can get messy—fit, seal, DSP, and how these earbuds behave differently depending on how they sit in your ears. The takeaway is simple: measurements can be useful, but for AirPods-style products you have to be careful about overreacting to a graph without understanding how it was captured and what variables are in play. If you’re deciding on an upgrade, I frame it around what you value: perceived tuning changes versus real-world use and your personal preferences.
