At 39,000 feet, Apple’s latest noise-cancelling earbuds expose an issue you’d never notice on the ground.

David Smith@BasicAppleGuy I returned my AirPods Pro 3 because I'd get the painful whistling with any of the ear tip sizes just around the house. I tried it on a plane trip out of curiosity before I actually sent them back and had a similar experience to you where the constant hum of the plane meant that it happened very regularly.
Ryan Ashcraft@_Davidsmith @BasicAppleGuy I have never had an issue with any AirPods until AirPods Pro 3. The right earbud has a constant low static noise. It’s worst with noise cancellation but sometimes noticeable with transparency.
Looking on Reddit, it seems I’m not alone with this issue. I’m hoping it’s something that can be fixed with a firmware update, because otherwise I really like these.
Now I’m thinking I need to bring a backup pair for an upcoming flight…
