***EDIT: for clarification, AirPods Pro support lossless audio but right now only when paired with the Apple Vision Pro. Hopefully will be expanded to phones at a later date but technically they do support it.*** ***EDIT 2: also, swipe controls do work for volume on AirPods Pro. I just learned this today. Somehow I’ve owned every version and never knew this. I’m an idiot. Carry on… sorry for the bad information.***

3:24 I got AirPods Pro before they came out well before Buds 3. Sure, I can't do firmware updates as I have no other Apple devices, but they aren't doing too badly. Now that Buds 3 series finally also have a stemmed design (purely a form-factor consideration), I can ditch the Apple products completely, now that my iPod Classic no longer works.

I'm hoping they're better sound quality wise. The buds2 pro never really impressed me sound quality wise. They were "just ok". I was coming from soundcore liberty 3 pro which sound amazing but had issues with the wings slipping around. The B2P fit well and had decent features, the integration was nice, but they had their share of things I didn't love.

[@duplexdubr5423]

The reason I've been using app2 on my android phone were for 2 reasons. The stem design is perfect for my ears, and second the noise transparency/ambient mode is world class, the absolute best I've ever heard on earbuds, and that feature alone is worth the price of admission for me. good to know transparency is good on buds pro 3, now I can have native buds again

You have to remember reasons why some people buy these to begin with. For me, sound quality, full controls, ANC and transparency mode. With those 4 things in mind, the AirPod pros lead the pack regardless of which phone you have. So having said that, there’s plenty of reasons to get the AirPod on a galaxy phone. So bad I wanted the Sony xm5 for my galaxy phone but the lack of controls was a deal breaker. The AirPods had everything I was looking for. Almost 2 years later now and no buyers remorse at all.

[@tytownsend8219]

You took the Airpod pros over the xm5's? 😮

[@ldh9440]

@@tytownsend8219 Well both yes and no. The Airpods came out during the XM4 time and so it was more like I chose the AP over the XM4. Having said that, when the 5's came out, I was going to get them but their lack of controls on the earbuds was a deal breaker for me. I even contacted Sony during the early XM4 days hoping for a firmware update but never heard anything. I expected the 5's to have better control but I was wrong. As much as I wanted the Sony's, I just couldn't do it with the lack of FULL controls on the earbuds.

I kind of disagree a little about it being a waste to use aap2 on Android. Yes you do lose features. But out of the box you can switch between ambience/anc by holding down on the bud. And swiping the stems for volume is great I've overall really loved my aap2 i got a few months ago. I'm still getting the buds 3 pro of course but i think aap2 are better then people give them credit for. I do use it with my ipad mini sometimes which is a better experience then on Android but i still use them for Android alot.

It's not worth the 500 price point as a product don't care about branding product is what I'm buying , so long story short I had my jbl buds 2 and for 80 euros it was a good mid range product but with the eq and their bass sound signature I liked them more then apple ones but they only lasted a year ( I'm a heavy airbud user so battry life was one of the key selling points with 40 hours with Anc) and now waiting for my buds 3 pro wich I got for 190 😅 from Samsung cant wait to try them

I will never purchase either of these because Samsung and Apple decided to be super sleezy and withhold features from anyone who doesn't buy their matching phone. Especially when buds like the Jabra Elite 10 and Jabra Elite 8 Active give you all the same features regardless of what brand of phone you have. They get my money even though I have an Iphone because my work computer is a PC and I love being able to seamlessly switch audio sources without having to do anything at all. Do not support this type of cheesy/sleazy behavior from Apple and Samsung. Vote with your hard earned money.
