Are you sure this isn’t a placebo of owning a new device with a fresh battery? Or is your experience relative to owning previous gen and comparing the first month between the two. I have AirPod Pros and happy with them. I’m just curious.

The Apple AirPods (3rd Generation) offer a pretty solid battery life. On a single charge, you can get up to 6 hours of listening time. Plus, with the charging case, you can carry multiple charges with you, giving you up to 30 hours in total. It's quite handy for long commutes or trips when charging might not be an option. While they don't have active noise cancellation, they do emphasize sound isolation, according to the manufacturer. If active noise-canceling is important to you, looking into models like the AirPods Pro might be a better choice. And there's this cool feature called Personalized Spatial Audio that a lot of people really seem to enjoy. It makes music and media sound super immersive, even though it doesn’t cut out background noise because there's no noise canceling. Overall, if battery life and being part of the Apple ecosystem are big factors for you, these AirPods could be a good pick. But, if you're frequently in noisy places and need a bit more quiet, you might want to consider other options.
