Right on! Good to hear positive comments about them from you!
Hmm... that's a good question. I don't know. I like the idea of a glow in the dark case. I have glow in the dark battery holders.

It’s from a great brand so you should definitely try it out. Elago also creates cool iPhone and Apple Watch docks !
Just used a $100 Amazon gift card and purchased the APP3 for $199. Giving my 2’s to my wife as well.
Same here! And it’s a great stocking stuffer. I got it with a case and some Mac accessories to make the most out of the gift cards I had.
I'm not entirely sold on the APP3, but the Airpods Pro 2 is a sizable upgrade on the APP1, and you can save some money over the APP3.
I just ordered the new APP3, I have the 2s but never wear them besides on an airplane. Tried comply tips for the 2s and I couldn’t get a good seal in one ear. I decided to try the 3s to see if they fit better so I can wear them at the gym, the 2s fall out of my ears if I’m moving around
I wear small and extra small tips on my AirPods Pro 3, they don’t fall off while running.
I do prefer getting some ear hooks or those strings that can catch them in case they fall out.
I got my AirPods Pro 3 the other day and finally got around to using them on today's walk (it's been very cold here). Anyway, my first impression is that there's more bass. I guess that's good but I'm not a heavy bass guy. Unfortunately, at the same time, it sounds like I've lost midrange and treble. Things sound "flat" and "muddy". The EQ app settings on the phone are presets and none of them sound great, just good. I wonder why Apple doesn't have manual settings here. I'll need to do some "side by side" comparisons with my APP1 to have a fair comparison.
I think the automatic conversation music attenuation feature may be useful. Whenever I encounter another person to say "good morning" or "hi" I always have to reach to stop the music. Maybe now I don't have to. On the other hand, if there's nobody around, I sometimes sing along so that won't work well.
The setup offered a Hearing Test but I couldn't get it to work. It kept asking me to put the pods in the case even though they were there already. Probably just a fluke.
Overall with the "out of the box" experience I'm fairly underwhelmed. But to be fair I'll need to do some more use and testing.

Over the past few days I've been trying out various things and making comparisons. Here's what I've figured out:
I was able to get the hearing test to work and thankfully, I have no measurable hearing loss. I was also able to get the fit test to work (eventually) and it likes how the medium buds fit in my ears. A little surprising as others have indicated that I may need to step down a size.
Comparing my APP3 sound to APP1 demonstrated clearly that the 3 is much better sounding. That said, the muddy/flat sound on the 3 overall still takes some of that "better" away.
I generally only use my AirPods Pro for walks/hikes so I prefer to use my Apple Watch for music instead of the iPhone (as it weighs a bit more). And since the EQ app doesn't exist on the Watch, I won't be able to improve the sound. Maybe in the future this will be implemented in Watch OS or a firmware update. I can use the Music > EQ app from my iPhone and Mac, so at least there I can make things better.
I turned off Conversation Awareness because apparently I can't stop myself from the occasional "sing along".
So, I guess overall I'm less upset and since they do sound better (even if it's not what I'd hoped for) I'll keep them. Hopefully there will be improvements in the future.
Finally Amazon is shipping my APP3 that was on sale for $199 the day after xmas. I guess they got swamped with orders at that price point. Will see if different sized tips work... my APP2 hs the large which worked well for more than a year.
Yea, that sounds about right. I got the same deal and it took 11 days for them to get them to me.
I think Amazon had some issues over the holidays, I've never had deliveries like this. My toaster oven took over a month to be delivered and even then they dropped it on my front porch even though I paid them extra to deliver to my garage.
