I remember my demo of the original AirPods before they were released back in 2016 and thinking, these are something special. When they were finally released later that year, many mocked them for how they looked. Fast forward to 2021 and AirPods are the most popular earbuds around. I’ve been testing the third generation of AirPods to see if they’re a worthy upgrade.
