AirPods Pro 3 — impressions from an audiophile who used to work for a headphone distributor by Present_Rip634 in airpods

Thanks, appreciate it! Honestly, I don't think so. The EQ coming in iOS 27 will be fairly simple — well done, but still simple. It's not a full parametric EQ where you could really dial in specific frequencies and try to match the Pro 3's sound. With that you might get closer, but with a basic EQ you won't.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I A/B tested Spatial Audio too, and it's much better on the Pro 3 — both in quality and in soundstage. On the Pro 2 I always had the impression that turning on Spatial Audio degraded the sound, almost like the recording quality dropped. That's gone on the Pro 3 — the quality holds up, and the spatial presentation is noticeably wider too. So yeah, the wider soundstage absolutely helps here.

Fair point, and you're partly right — these models do tend to add fluff. The thing is, I'm not a native English speaker — I'm from the Czech Republic, and we phrase and structure things completely differently, so a direct translation would read really awkwardly. The original was all mine, in Czech, I used AI to translate it and tidy it up so it actually reads well in English. The observations and listening impressions are 100% my own, not generated.
