Just bought the AirPods Pro 3 via walk-in to Apple Store TRX.

Stock just arrived but very limited, and wasn’t updated to Apple Store Online yet at time of my purchase. 😁

Two bags there. Shopping spree.

Just tried both Pro 2 and Pro 3 side by side

Things better in Pro 3
- bass is stronger
- soundstage is wider
- ANC quite a bit better
- the seal is also better

Things better in Pro 2
- vocals sounds slightly clearer
- the case is denser and feels more solid. The new one feels a bit cheap 😅

coming from Airpods Pro 1, this Pro 3 improvement is just like between sky and ground.

Hahaha. Minta beg free aje. 🤭🤭

Did you try wearing for long periods, and does it hurt your ears? I read on Reddit some user had slight bleeding from the ear because the new Heart Rate sensor area edges can cause some abrasion to the skin in the ear.

I have yet to unbox mine. Haha.

Haha for sure. But from 2 to 3, probably not so much. Just more prominent ‘V Curve’, meaning enhanced bass and highs, but sacrificing the mid range (vocal clarity) 😌

I need vocal clarity and I listen to pop too most of the time.
I guess I will stick to my Pro 2. Money saved again.

Ok. Tonight had some time to kill and I just unboxed and tested the AirPods Pro 3. ☺️

First impression immediately disappointed with the subdued vocals. Bass seems overloaded now, in a not so good way. May need to do further tweaking in the equalizer. But a bit sad as my AirPods Pro 2 sounded ‘perfect’ out of the box when I first bought it 2 years+ ago. 😶‍🌫️

But I have to say the ANC is much better, with the foam seals and also the sound feels ‘larger’ now, closer to how larger headphones are on you instead of earbuds. ☺️

The foam rubs on my ears more, so I’m downsizing into S. No other issues tho.


Have you updated to the latest firmware? The latest update actually balance it a bit, bass is plenty but not as strong. Mids are better now.

I also notice I got too used to the sound of the gen 2… when I first used the gen 2 it sounded too neutral and flat (I was used to bassy earbuds )

Yeah honestly pro 2 still really good. I only upgrade because I want better anc and battery lol

just placed order on Apple Official Store on Shopee
my first ever Airpods
so many years already Airpods Pro 2 price still around 7-800
so might as well topup bit get Airpods Pro 3

been using many other ANC earbuds from other brand
hope this wont disappoint me

Thanks for the feedback guys. Looks like I won't be upgrading unless I score a good deal next time like what happened to my Pro 1 and Pro 2.

it not ANC strength. it is how it work on apple product.. Different result and experience when using sony vs apple.. feel the dfference when using on buddy during workout.. it can read whatsapp mess

For those feeling heavy bass on their APP3, try the setting below as suggested and see if it helps

Go to accessibility > Audio & Visual > Headphones accommodations > Set this to Balanced Tone (Source)

Dilemma, if the APP2 has a good deal like <RM700, I wonder if should get that instead.

no point. get app3

Of course no. APP3 is the right choice but if not urgent to get then wait for online sales. Tons of vouchers to use by then.

Sounds like you are geared up to buy app3 also when sales happen.

I placed order with Apple Flagship Store, they assigned NinjaVan, supposed to get 14th, delayed to 16th and NinjaVan reschedule to 17th. Sigh…

Got a decent deal with using coins and get like 17k coins.

If it’s a good deal, why not?

Got the same deal and was delivered yesterday. It feels louder than the APP2. Nice I like it.

I’m bookmarking this for future evidence… cough.. reference.


Delivered yesterday? Ninja van also? Damn… still waiting. Maybe i got infected by fruitie delivery experience. Sigh
