Compared with the “2nd Gen”, I can say that my experience with the much longer-lasting and better-sounding “3rd Gen“ has been fantastic. To be honest, at first, I wasn't as sure due to the difference in shape of earphones between the generations—the 3rd Gen makes it harder to hear external noises (which makes music sound better). That said, I quickly adjusted, and find the sound quality is vastly different from the older 2nd Gen my partner has. There is a slight difference that I didn't notice before buying. The touch to pause etc is now a pinch/click on the base of the earphone itself. I would say the only downside to AirPods is the price, but I find them more than worth it now. One thing to note is that I haven't compared these with potential competitors and I use my AirPods for YouTube videos, meetings, and audiobooks (so I'm not looking for absolutely perfect sound).

Sound is great best yet

Great - daughter so excited. Arrived super promptly.

Great product. Came as ordered. Only snag is the dpd delivery instructions were that it couldn't be left in my designated safe place, so missed the delivery. Otherwise good.

As expected from an Apple product. Clean design, good quality and great sound!

Brought for my son as an upgrade to his 2nd generation ones. He said they are brilliant and you can even hear your heart beat! Service was excellent and received within a day of buying! I like no fuss and the cheapest at the time if buying!

These air pods are exactly what I expected them to be. Easy to set up, decent sound quality, hold charge well and stay in my ears.

Great product, only issue was delivery was a day late but kept well informed
