Not so soon. Usually after the iPhone launch.

Just bought the AirPods Pro 3 via walk-in to Apple Store TRX. rclxm9.gif

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

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 😅

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.

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

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. icon_rolleyes.gif

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

Oh. No wonder why I felt a suddenly ‘better improvement’ in the sound of my AirPods Pro 3 compared to the moment I just unboxed.

Yes, it sounds a bit more balanced now. And I am loving it! rclxm9.gif

The bass is just nice now. The low frequency presence is certainly much more impactful than the APP 2, but not that overloaded-sounding now. Chef’s kiss 😇

QUOTE(XiuKeong @ Oct 16 2025, 11:45 AM)
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)

Seems perfect for me now already. I do tend to like a bit of more bass presence, and it’s just nice now. Neutral sound signature lovers may want to try that tweak. thumbup.gif

QUOTE(OKLY @ Oct 16 2025, 08:37 PM)
Dilemma, if the APP2 has a good deal like <RM700, I wonder if should get that instead. hmm.gif
*
Price difference too insignificant as APP 3 RRP is RM999 compared to discounted APP 2 prices.

APP 3 all the way, bro. nod.gif

QUOTE(dreamthief @ Oct 17 2025, 12:37 AM)
Sounds like you are geared up to buy app3 also when sales happen.  whistling.gif

Resistance is futile for fruitie for sure. 🙈🫠🫡😂
