Apple’sAirPods have really become the poster child for wireless earbuds, which is fair because they sort of kicked the whole trend off in the first place. The good news is that the 3rd generation AirPods keep building on that reputation. And withPrime Dayknocking the price down from 170 bucks to just 120, you gotta admit - it might just be the perfect time to think about grabbing a pair yourself.
These newest AirPods bring some solid upgrades over the previous versions. One big highlight is the Personalized Spatial Audio feature with head tracking. This gives you a 3D, surround sound experience for your audio. Another interesting thing about the AirPods is that they integrate inbuilt gyroscopes and accelerometers to follow your head movements, so it sort of feels like you’re right at the center of everything you’re listening to.
It also looks like Apple has made a lot of improvement in terms of sound quality on these earbuds. For one thing, they have this insane Adaptive EQ that automatically adjusts the sound profile to match the shape of your ears. The inward-facing mics also pick up what you’re hearing, and tweak the low and mid-frequencies, so every song you listen to comes with a rich level of detail.
Apple AirPods 3rd Generation
Don’t call it a comeback, the third gen AirPods are here to stay. Featuring Personalized Spatial Audio, adaptive EQ, and an improved battery life, these are something you should definitely get your hands on.
Looks-wise, the 3rd gen AirPods take some cues from the AirPods Pro with shorter stems, so they won’t catch on your masks or clothes as much. The design aims to sit at just the right angle for maximum comfort and optimized audio. Not to mention that the IPX4water and sweat resistanceis a very welcome addition. Although they still use an open fit without the silicone tips, which we never really understood. What’s the point of shelling out that much for earbuds if you can’t have a tip? But we digress.
Battery life is better too, giving you up to six hours of listening time per charge, or four hours with Spatial Audio on. Pop them in the included MagSafe Charging Case, and you get up to 30 hours total listening time. And if you’re worried about constantly recharging, let us put your mind at ease. A five-minute quick charge gives you around 1 hour of listening or talk time.
All in all, a pretty decent choice. Do keep in mind that this discount will only last for a limited time, so make sure to Head over to Amazon ASAP in case you’re interested!
