Apple AirPods 3 vs AirPods Pro
they're almost the same we have some air pods today the new airpods that's the confusing part isn't it airpods third generation not pro they still have the pro they still have the second generation these are the third generation a slight improvement over the second generation but you're gonna pay more money i have the canadian price on this particular package 239 dollars so it's still a premium price who's it for it's for somebody who wants some of the pro features without an ear tip style design this also has the magsafe charging case which i think is a pretty cool improvement for convenience and such so this can just snap onto apple's magnetic magsafe there's a thing going on with the word magsafe and how it applies to the variety of magnetic apple products because there's like iphone magsafe and then there's the new mag safe charger which is really kind of like the old magsafe charger for the laptops anyway point being is you can magnetically charge these which is a nice touch as well oh also i have new uh later case just like this one airpods third generation 100 dupont kevlar same fit as this one so you can pick that up order that up if you're going to be getting the third generation airpods and another quick preview before i jump into the box i got the new g-shock watch smartwatch android
wear i haven't worn a g-shock in a long time but if you've been around the Blogs you know i used to love these things wear os by google plus casio g-shock rugged and stuff gsw h1000 made
in japan so that's a bonus round after we do the airpods now the shape of it they change so even though it's not interchangeable ear tips it is a sort of a more bulbous looking shape to it still has your toothbrush stem looking situation however the stem is a little bit shorter on this one as well easy unboxing experience you know how this goes zip and zip also come with spatial audio so airpods 3 are going to have the spatial audio feature from the airpods pro standard airpods never had it however active noise cancellation continues to be the biggest difference that's going to be exclusive to the pricier model with the pro designation you've been using the airpods pro recently any thoughts on that i love them oh my god the noise cancellation is amazing noise cancellation he says amazing he's trying
to get mo out of his life at least the noise that mo is making which is frequent and constant maybe the dog moe's not that loud himself a little bit of paperwork inside the package touch controls obviously on theb side of the stem play pause skip tracks and siri if you'd like to use it the case is a little bit larger than regular airpods as you can see but not quite as large as the pro model that's interesting we peel this and this came open right away still going to have your lightning connector on the bottom for charging it up you're still going to have your led on the front it's all very familiar look at the two-tone black and white look pull out the pro bud and pull out the third generation bud they're so comparable in appearance that's crazy it's almost like the new third generation bud is simply missing the nozzle and that's it if i pull off the little adapter in-ear adapter look how similar those look the pro model versus the third generation although the speaker portion the port is larger on the pro model still and actually the entire earbud is larger on the pro model still let's try this on let's get an idea of some comfort here right left now one benefit of not having a nozzle like this is you have a fit that's a i don't know what to call it more of a casual fit if you're going for the opposite end of the spectrum from noise cancelling maybe more towards transparency then this is just naturally more transparent because it's not sitting in my ear canal so i can even hear myself speaking i never had trouble with the original air pods and the fit there but some people say it falls out of their ears you were complaining about that in the past i don't think anything's really going to compete with the pro model for fit because it's in the ear canal oh yeah it's a better fit than the regular airpods for my ears yeah this this is this is loose this is more loose it's a smaller it's a way smaller earbud where's the charge pad the apple charge all right well well moe goes to get the uh the magsafe charger so we can look at the connection of this thing also in the package you have a typical traditional cable option on this end it's still going to be lightning now as far as the case is concerned let's see how that fits on well no adhesive necessary it's a friction fit so that just goes bang like that and you still have access to the button and bingo check the look sick okay so we have the apple official magsafe charger this is just going to stick when it gets there you see the orange light comes on it's charging it's not the strongest connection but it doesn't really have to be becauseb you're not really going to be using the case while it's on there not like the phones which have to make a sort of stronger grasp because you're going to be using the phone and yes it does work as well with the case on it still sticks oh and charges i also think with this new design they're going to get a little bit less disgusting i don't know why that is but like with the earwax and stuff the in-ear is going to be the worst for that these were kind of bad for that because they had a really small nozzle as well this one with the like bigger opening i think it's going to be easier to clean it out and get the debris out of there that's just a little side thing all right so there's an update preparing here ios 15.1 all right we're back it is uh another day because this one we left it updating it was like the world's longest update for some reason 15.1 prores i blame prores anyway it doesn't matter because we're back and that's the main thing and now we are finally gonna get to listen to the third generation of air pods which might be the sweet spot i don't know if it's in between these two and so you save a little bit of money on this one you pay a little more than this one how are they gonna sound i'm gonna compare i'm gonna listen to these and then the pros can they replace the pros should you get them instead of the pros do you need noise cancellation all right so right away of course we get our wonderful air airpod connection prompt i am connected now i just gotta be honest with you it is almost no isolation i have music playing piano music somehow right away where is this music coming from that's my apple music oh it's your apple music i was like what is going on here it's funny when you're marketing spatial audio i never imagined there's also i mean you end up with the the activity of spatializing i've already demonstrated spatial audio with the pro models it is magical i it sounds stupid it sounds so stupid it feels like i'm a i don't know how the software oh that's a switch we're in kirk's library right now they sound better than these little earpods it's it's there's a thickness there's a thickness to it sound better than those oh this is a banging album you're going to love this album it's a comfortable uh earbud it's a day to day it's an everyday i don't know about lone star rag but definitely when we had the drake on there okay fine wow this is my like 2016 in a bottle right here lots of volume too hey with like the ear health care turned off oh we have volume i like having more volume than i need and then just like allow me to you know i mean like as far as the volume is concerned i need to be able to manage these things somehow there's just like a little bit of uh punch lacking just a tiny touch uh maybe i should just do an a b test right now same track no they're not even close to as good as the pros no not even close people are saying people are saying what they're pretty close people are saying what i don't know who you're talking to i don't know who you've been chatting with i got buds flying over here flying buds but here's the thing all right all right let me just if you don't mind let me just uh give you my take here i have no idea why you would buy uh unless you absolutely hate having things in your ear sit deeply in your ear if the ear tip in the ear canal drives you nuts that's the one reason i think you should look at the airpods third generation that's pretty much it because these are better have more features and they're not that much more money if you're already close to two bills on the earbuds i guess the wireless charging is a nice little touch i don't know what kind of value that brings for you but uh you're so close to picking up these or uh finding them for slightly less on a discount or something i guess the case is a little bit smaller get the pro that's it .it's easy that's easy get the pro yep i'm sold i'm resold if this is what you're considering these are your options get the pro yeah i mean they're fine i mean they're fine get the pro skip these ones get the pro which one should i get i think you might you know what i gave it some more thought here i think maybe go for the pro i'm guessing that apple still sells a lot of these and people are intimidated like that there must be a reason why they feel like this this product needs to exist in the middle of these two maybe this thing's on the way out they're going to hang on to it for just a short period of time maybe the holiday season whatever one more generation because they have an abundance of inventory or it's easier to make right now because of shortages or shipping or covet or whatever i don't think this design is necessarily going to be there forever things i just feel this product makes more sense when you don't also have this one as an option because they're so similar that's all it's home get the pro skip these ones get the pro i don't know if you guys noticed kanye he shaved his eyebrows he's been wearing these around well moe wants a later case shout out yeah that might be one of my favorite later case products the way those fit on the airpods max get the pro let's check out this new watch how about that uh a g-shock that has wear os it can work in uh like a light power consumption mode as a pretty typical g-shock which it like sometimes i don't want smart features don't need heart rate and i don't want to drain battery so you can go for much longer periods of time when you're in sort of dumb mode and then flip into smart mode when i don't know you need to track heart rate or something like that and i typically don't want notifications on my wrist so that's a cool compromise or that's a cool hybrid type of setup they're so rugged you slam it into something and you don't you're not concerned anyway built into this one shock resistant heart rate gps altimeter barometer compass and also some water resistance as well as you would expect in a rugged watch like this i love the old school japanese digital watch unboxing experience i can imagine somebody thinking good lord that's a that's too much i can't have that on my wrist all day but i don't mind or at least i didn't in the past g shock feelings look at the strap it clicks along there through there you have a double clasp you see the heart rate sensor on the bottom yeah so look at these little wrist supports as well because it is so large huge tactile buttons you get this it's almost like magsafe sort of that little pin portion and what happens yeah it's magnetic lovely and that's it .it has some minor blue accents like on the start button over here and also you can see through the wristband so that's your look i'm telling you it's not going to be for everybody but so rugged you know but if you're into it at all if you're the rugged type or you just appreciate having ruggedness then this is kind of a cool merging of the worlds of the watch worlds couldn't be more different than the watch kirk's currently wearing that is a the fanciest of fancy apple watches gold-plated right that's from caviar now it's obvious why apple took the approach they took but i'm glad that other options exist look how cool the g-shock logo is just so classic i'm gonna set it up with my uh pixel 6 pro and wear os and if you want to know more about my experience with this watch i'll probably chat about it on the next episode of lou later so head over to that youtube channel thank you to betterhelp for sponsoring this show is there
