AirPods 3 Have a SLIGHT Problem!

Well everyone, today’s another sad day, Apple released the Airpods 3 as most of you know, and luckily for us, there’s not a big hardware problem, there’s nothing wrong if you like your Airpods 3, then they’re perfect for you! Obviously, there’s going to be software improvements and different things across the board, but there is a pretty big issue for me of these AirPods 3 that are probably going to make me not use these, I probably will still keep them to compare and stuff, similar to how I never really used my AirPod Pro’s, and the main issue for this is the actual Airpod tips themselves! So, looking at them, they look great, I like the case, I like everything, but when I take these outright and I try to put them in my ear, for some reason these do not fit in my ear, unlike how AirPod twos fit in mine!

Now, I was thinking to myself why is that the case? how come the other ones fit fine and these ones don’t? Well, the problem is actually with this portion of the specific earpiece, which makes perfect sense because that’s the only portion in here, so let me give you some perspective, here are the AirPods 3 and AirPod 2 next to each other:

Look at the difference between the size of these ear tips, look at how much bigger of an ear tip you’re getting on the AirPods 3! Now, is that a big deal? It totally depends on your ear type, my ear type doesn’t really fit well with these AirPods, so I personally will probably not be able to use AirPod 3 ☹️. So, if you’re someone who plans on buying AirPods 3, and AirPods 2 feel like they’re a tight fit, you may not want to buy AirPod 3.

Overall, I’m pretty sad, but what are you going to do, what do you think?

That’s pretty much it! if you guys have any other questions let me know in the comment section as well, more important than everything else I love…
