Are Apple AirPods Pro worth it?

Makes me think I should've gone Android because Google and Sony make fine products (Google Pixel Buds Pro) but with an iPhone I feel like it's a mistake if I don't get the Apple product.
Here's what I'm looking at:
Google Pixel Buds Pro (Amazon)
Sony LinkBuds S (Amazon)
and of course the Apple AirPods Pro.
Which of these three should I get? rank em for me.

Idk. AirPods are awesome.

I regret purchasing the airpod pros. I barely use them. The reason isn't because of sound quality (it's good.) It's because they fall out of my ears at the slightest movement. I have to jam them in there to such an uncomfortable degree that I dislike using them.
I bought a cheap bluetooth set of earbuds that I use more often.

If it's for the gym, sure.
However, I gave away my Sony Headphones
The Sony ones are much better quality in all aspects.

Honestly, I liked my original AirPods better. I have't tried the 3rd gen AirPods.
The main reason for this is thee shape of the originals fit my ears much better. I had to buy aftermarket tips for my AirPod pros because they would not stay in my ears with the included Apple tips. The aftermarket tips were a significant fit improvement, but the idea of buying a new set of AirPod Pros and immediately having to buy a set of aftermarket tips just seems silly. I should have sent them back, but was determined to find a way to make them fit my ears.
The sound quality of the Pros is fine as is the active noise cancellation. However, neither is as good as it could be for me due to the fit issue. Even with the aftermarket tips, they just don't create a good tight seal in my ear, so the sound quality and noise cancellation features are not optimal for me.
Everyone's ear shape/structure is obviously different, but the design of the AirPod Pros just isn't optimal for mine. YMMV but I'd try before you buy.

Yes. I had a hard time justifying the cost, but I eventually just went with it.
They are absolutely 100% worth it.
I use them for both home and work purposes. I listen to music anytime I work outside, and I don't miss a call or a text. I can tell siri to open/close my garage if I'm going back and forth. At work I use them for zoom meetings, phone calls, and music.
I've had my Airpods Pro for 2 years, I use them everyday, and I have zero interest in any other headphones. By far the best Apple device I have.

they come with 3 sets of plugs or whatever you want to call them. have you tried using the largest?
I use mine everyday. I have an Apple TV, Mac, iPhone, and iPad. you can pretty much just put them in and start using a device and it'll connect. on the Mac and Apple TV you have to click a button. sound is good, they charge quick, are way more comfortable than the regular AirPods.

I just got the AirPod Gen 3 and absolutely love them. I didn’t go with the Pros because I hate having to shove the tips in my ears. It’s very uncomfortable to me. The Gen 3 fits perfect and don’t fall out somehow

My AirPods Pro with my iPhone, MacBook and AppleTv work seamlessly. If you are working in iOS environment, go the the AirPods pro.

Yes, but as I later learned, I can't use any type of earbud that sits in my ear when working out. They caused my ears to sweat, and the skin on the inside of my ear would dry out (flake). This took me a while to figure out.
I moved away from the AirPods and my inner ear skin issue resolved itself.
Something to consider if you have sensitive skin like I do.

For those talking about AirPods slipping out of your ears due to sweat, try these: EarBuddyz Ear Hooks
I have the same sweat issue and with these my AirPods have never fallen out.

I had the same exact experience with the apple airpods. I gave them away to family members and use trekz aftershokz instead.

Yes the pros are worth it. I lift and run in them. They’re great.
Posted on 11/21/22 at 12:45 pm to braves21
I had no idea how much I’d use them until my wife bought me a pair. Totally worth it.
