New episode alert! 🎉 Join Yessie for her review of the new AirPods 3!

27/10/2021

Got the new AirPods 3! This is a huge upgrade for me. I was using wired EarPods, so I am loving finally being wire free again! I love that Apple now has great options for AirPods at different price points. The AirPods 3 are $179, and they strike the perfect balance between AirPods 2 at $129, and AirPods Pro at $249. AirPods Max are great for what they are, but they're really in a league of their own and they're too expensive to recommend for most people.
