Thikra Blog shares audio gear reviews, wearable tech updates, and device guides to help UAE users choose the best earbuds, headphones, and smartwatches.
We asked SoundGuys readers which earbuds they’d actually buy, and the results were decisive. Across two polls with more than 1,300 combined votes, the Apple AirPods Pro 3 were the clear favorite over both Sony and Bose’s flagship models.
In the second (711 votes), Apple held a strong 57% edge over the Sony WF-1000XM5, which earned 43%.
Why did readers lean Apple?
Based on our testing, the AirPods Pro 3 offer stronger ANC than both Sony and Bose, better battery life than Bose, and a noticeably broader feature set—including heart-rate tracking, Live Translation, and clinical-grade hearing aid functionality. They also cost less than either competitor at $249 at Amazon, have a higher IP57 durability rating, and deliver one of the most natural transparency modes we’ve tested. For iPhone users especially, that combination is tough to beat.
Excellent ANC • Live Translation • Heart rate sensor
Adaptive audio and enhanced ANC.
The Apple AirPods Pro 3 are a solid update to the Apple wireless earbuds lineup. Improved ANC, IP57 ratings, plus heart rate sensor and fitness tracking built in. There’s even a hearing aid mode, and improved spatial audio.
The crowd has spoken, and for most SoundGuys readers, AirPods Pro 3 are the better buy right now. Do you agree? Let us know in the comments below.
