I was looking at the pro 2nd gens because they are the newest and seem like the best sound quality just by the specs I’m switching from the galaxy buds so I’m used to the tipped earbud shape. I was worried about the 3rd gena being uncomfortable as I have small ears so that’s very helpful

Yeah, people will small ears often report issues with the Airpods 3rd gen.

The Airpods Pro 2nd gen are better for small ears as they now have extra-small (XS) tips for a better fit in small ears. Note that you might want to go with 3rd-party XS or S foam tips as some people report a better fit with those vs the included silicone ones (but foam tips might not last as long as silicone ones).

Thanks for the help! I think I’ll definitely splurge and go for the pros! I was really down to those and the 3rd gen because of the mag compatibility. I just wasn’t sure if the extra almost 100$ was worth it. For me specifically it definitely is. Much appreciated.

i’m gonna add onto this & say if you get them from a retailer that’s not an apple store (walmart, target, best buy etc), they have a 14 day return policy so you can actually return any pair of airpods as long as you bring the receipt or proof of purchase if they don’t fit you well
