Placed my order with engraving. Delivers on 14 oct next Tuesday. Hope can get it early.

Also nowadays a bit troublesome to order on Apple Store. Need to key in TIN and ic repeatedly.

Check the availability daily on the Apple Store app, and you might get one to pick up from TRX on the same day.
Try checking it in the morning.

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 😅

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. sweat.gif

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) 😌

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

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. ☺️

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 )

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. icon_rolleyes.gif

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