Sound Quality

Do AirPods Pro sound better than AirPods 2 and 3?

Sound Quality Variations​

Sound quality can vary depending on the version, chip, and batch. Many models emphasize bass without being overpowering. Mids are pronounced, but highs could be improved. Note that the EQ can vary by seller, and you can adjust it using your music player's settings.

Delay​

The delay is around 50-150 ms depending on the version, barely noticeable. For reference, the original AirPods have a delay of between 140-200 ms.

Sound Issues​

Some older batches might have a faint clicking sound in one ear when no audio is playing, which should disappear when audio is played. There's currently no known fix for this.
