Rumors about the next generation of AirPods have been around for a while, and it looks like Apple will launch ‘AirPods 3’ later this month. The new AirPods are based on leaked images and feature a design that combines elements of the original AirPods with the AirPods Pro. Now we want to know if you prefer the sleek AirPods 3 design or the traditional AirPods design.
The first AirPods were introduced in 2016, and although Apple’s wireless headphones have grown significantly over the past few years, the regular AirPods (currently in their second generation) still have the same design as the first generation.
While AirPods are basically wireless EarPods, AirPods Pro looks very different because they have a smaller stem with an in-ear design. There is no argument against the fact that AirPods Pro sounds better thanks to features like Active Noise Canceling and a low distortion speaker driver, but there is a group of people who do not like the silicone earbuds that AirPods Pro contains.
As recently by me 9to5Mac colleague José Adorno, the silicone tips of the AirPods Pro are uncomfortable for some users, who prefer to prefer the regular AirPods over the Pro model.
We do not yet know if the AirPods 3 has the silicone tips or not, but the fit in the ear will definitely be different as the overall body of the earbuds looks completely different based on the leaked images. This, of course, has caused concern for users who would like to use AirPods but do not like the fit of the AirPods Pro. Would Apple impose this in-ear design on the entire range?
We’ll probably know the answer in a few days, but until then we want to know: do you prefer the leaked AirPods 3 design or the original? Let us know in the poll and in the comments section:
