    But the article said that the vanilla Gen 3s aren’t selling because people are still buying new 2s.

    There is a market for vanilla headphones. It’s the middle tier that’s doesn’t make sense.

    The 2s can often be purchased for $100, and the 3s are often more expansive that the Gen 1 Pros when they’re on sale.

    All in all, AirPod 3s are a weird in-between product that doesn’t make sense.

      Which makes me worry that they would rather scrap the 2 at that price range and make 3 the base cheaper (but more expensive) price.

      3 definitely feels like a bit of an after thought product. I’m just glad they’re not touching the pros for a while. Literally just bought the usbc one on a sale this week
