Apple AirPods Pro 3
Status Pro X
The Apple AirPods Pro 3 are better earbuds for most people than the Status Pro X. In raw performance terms, the Apple are clearly superior, with class-leading ANC, a more stable in-ear design, and, so long as you're connected to an Apple device, a mic that sounds better. That said, Android users don't have access to many of Apple's special features, and there's no companion app for Android devices. So if you're an Android user who enjoys making adjustments in a dedicated companion app, the Status may be the better buy.
