Apple AirPods Max 2 vs AirPods Pro 3

If you're an Apple user looking for on-the-go audio, the Apple AirPods Pro 3 are better than the Apple AirPods Max 2 in almost every case. The Pro 3 block out even more noise than the Apple AirPods Max 2, are much smaller and more stable, have an IP57 rating that will protect both the buds and case from rain. That means they make much more sense for people looking for all-purpose earbuds that can accompany them commuting, at the office, or in the gym. That said, if you're set against earbuds, the Apple AirPods Max 2 are the obvious choice. Their roomier fit is decently comfortable, and they last longer off a single charge. But there are no extra charges available in their poor excuse for a case. If you want wired audio, the Max 2 are the way to go, too. Still, we think most people are best served by the earbuds, unless they know they want the over-ears.
