To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.

1 year later, these are on sale for $200, and now I have discovered for myself how good they really are. Absolutely amazing.

One big issue with these is after a year of use they don't hold the charge, only for an hour at most.

Too bad these Earbuds are a having horrible issue, excessive battery drain and overheating on one earbud caused by a software update from Sony. Sadly the update caused irreversible damage to thousands of these earbuds and alot of people seem to struggle to get the problem sorted with Sony. Me included. This is all over Revit and other forums and seem to have started around September 2022, shouldn't these be recalled by Sony? It's sad as these are amazing earbuds

I've got the sonys, bought them as soon as they came out. Tbh, I never thought they were great but, they weren't terrible. Scroll on 25 months and, they're going to have to be replaced as the right one won't hold a charge for more than about 40 minutes. They cost £250, so that works out at exactly £10 per month. I feel cheated by Sony who, as you might guess, don't care. I shall be replacing with some more sensibly priced buds that will not be bearing their logo. I've bought so much Sony gear in the past but, won't be in the future. Avoid like the plague
