Hey everyone. I recently upgraded from my Pro 2s to the AirPods Pro 3s, and been loving everything so far, but this.

The ANC performance on my Pro3s seem to be ever so slightly worse than my APP2, and it seems to let a bit more of the low ends in, which i found surprising as Apple claimed a 2x improvement.

I have tried increasing and decreasing the size of my eartips, resetting them etc, but the results are consistent.

I tested using a few everyday sounds, such as ambient noise, street ambience and airplane ambience.

I have AC+ on them, so not too worried at the moment, but was just wondering if this issue could be fixed via a firmware update rather than a hardware swap.

A firmware fix is potential.

Can you make sure they aren't resting in your ear, but actually snug tight?

They were designed that way.

Yep, pushed it in firmly.

Welp, you'll have to wait for a firmware update, otherwise, just exchange it for a new one (Also congrats on mod)

Will probably wait until they wear a bit and seeing if a firmware update solves it.

#

I’ll mark this as resolved then.
