It's become very hard to take these reviews seriously any more. I'm sitting here holding my case for my Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pros and my Apple Airpod 2 Pros, and it's the SAME plastic case. There is no better quality in the iPad case. One is all white, and the other is gray with a clear upper piece. I use my Samsung Galaxy Bud 3 pros with my Fold 6 and my Samsung Tab 10 Ultra. I use my Airpod Pros with my work iPhone and iPad Pro. They both hold almost exactly the same length of charge after I've tried both with ANC on or off. The only difference between the two is the stem design really. However, I still have my Galaxy Buds Pro 2 as well, because the way that they cover my entire ear canal gives me a really immersive ANC experience that is better than the Galaxy bud 3 pros and the Airpod 2 pros. I'm not a fan of stems, but when I gave them a chance, I did get a more fuller sound from the Galaxy Bud 3 pros than any of the others. So, I would leave it up to the user to decide. Sound can often be subjective, and apparently that's the case with this review. Except its subjectivity is a little off base with some of the criticisms.
How can reviews like this make sense to people when you ding the Buds 3 Pros for having a plastic case when the Airpod 2 pros have one as well? How do you ding the Buds 3 Pros for holding the same level of charge as the Airpod 2 pros, yet still tell us that the Airpod 2 Pros are too good to be true?
I think the comparisons have become sort of a waste of time when you're nitpicking one thing that is no different from another item that you praise. Luckily I have the advantage of having all three models, and can clearly see the forest for the trees.
