Good Product

Due to the absence of ear tips, I've found that the product doesn't fit snugly in my ears, and it tends to come loose while running, which is a recurring issue. Despite this drawback, I'm satisfied with the product, mainly due to its noise-cancellation feature. However, the "Hey Siri" functionality works exceptionally well, though it may not perform as well in crowded environments.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Passable yet nothing fantastic — poor value

I was looking forward to upgrading from my two-year-old AirPods (2nd gen), to these newer flagship AirPods 3 — and yet I felt rather underwhelmed and disappointed by Apple.
While these do sound slightly cleaner and a little bit more detailed with music and overall video playback. The AirPods 3 also have a very "cold/flat" sound profile, and at times sounds a bit harsh (particularly with the mids and highs of certain songs). I was surprised, as I rather enjoyed the AirPods 2 overall sound profile. My AirPods 2 sounded warmer, clear enough, and not overly aggressive. It's hard to explain, however the newer AirPods 3 sound hollow, vs. having a nice natural, full sound profile. I was disappointed.
The fit is what many have spoken about with these AirPods. They are indeed slightly larger, everything about them is (even the case is a different size). While the AirPods 3 themselves fit my ears fine, they're definitely snugger (even to a fault). My AirPods 2 are not necessarily as snug fitting, they are lighter and felt more comfortable for me. Especially after using one with longer listening sessions. The AirPods 3 felt alright, but less comfortable after shorter listening sessions. You can start to feel them, after say 20 minutes of typical usage — which is frustrating as an avid music fan.
Obviously having a MagSafe-compatible charging case is a big convenience, it's a clear advantage over my AirPods 2. I believe all earbuds over $60, should have wireless charging these days.
While I wanted to love the AirPods 3, especially since they're considered to be the successor of the AirPods 2 — the AirPods 3 felt flat off my expectations and is honestly disappointing. Coming from my AirPods 2, I expected these to sound superiorly better, have a better fit, and of more convenient. Only the convenience of having wireless charging is the only win I see with these, and perhaps a sturdier build AirPods case.
With all the hype these got a year or so ago, the AirPods 3 are pretty lackluster and were a major letdown for me. You're better off grabbing a pair of AirPods 2 (with wireless charging) on sale. Or just go for the new AirPods Pro 2, as they're way better valued and have everything one could ever need out of a pair of flagship earbuds. They also sound better, are more comfortable, have incredible ANC, have better battery life, and more.
The AirPods 3 just don't cut it and is f poor value. These days, there are so many great options for decent earbuds that are of better value and far less expensive than the below-average AirPods 3.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Does the job

This Airpods 3 is good, the only reason I had to return it was because of the fit. The shape of the AirPods itself is different. If you have small ears I highly don recommend this for you because it is going to keep falling off. Instead, get the Airpods pro which comes with 3 different earbuds sizes.

Awesome sound quality, can honestly say they’re better than my 300 noise cancelling headphones in terms of sound quality. They fit in and stay in your ear despite feeling a little loose compared to standard wired apple earbuds.
