Basically people buy the cheapest AirPods, the 2s, or the Pros with ANC. Not the middle ground.
The weird middle tier just doesn’t sell well. If you don’t want ANC, you can get new 2s for a lot less. And if you really want spatial audio, you might as well spend an extra few bucks to get the pros or some refurbished pros. They might even been cheaper than the MSRP 3s if you go with Gen 1 Pros.
I feel like most people probably buy 3s because they are a good fit for a specific ear shape. If you’re comparing features and prices, they’re an odd choice.
