Audio quality can be subjective, but I'm going to wait for the reviews to see how much of a difference the ANC and audio quality is. I'm sure there will be plenty of videos and reviews comparing the Pro 2s to the Pro 3s.
What will you consider a good objective source on this?
I can already see the YouTube thumbnails...

Ordered the APP3 so I can give up my Lightning APP2s, finally. Don't see enough in Apple+ Watch 11 to upgrade from my 10.
Same, my launch APP2s have been getting a bit cranky and worn. I'd picked up a discounted set of basic AirPods 4s just for casual listening and voice calls because I really didn't want to buy another set of Pro 2's so close to the launch of the next gen.

My AW Ultra 1 still works fine, the 3 isn't enough of an upgrade to spend $800 on.
