Design and Packaging

The AirPods 3 came in a compact box that firmly holds all the constituents together. On the side, there’s a direction on how to open the box easily. You’d likely not find this with fake AirPods or lookalikes. The design of the AirPods themselves is very sleek. They didn’t come with buds as the new contour design delivers sound directly to your ears. The case looks a lot like the case of the AirPods Pro. Only this time, it’s a MagSafe AirPods charging case.
