Buying advice

Which should you buy?

The AirPods Pro 3 edges ahead on the Mars Score (69.5 vs 66.1), but the 3.4-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.

Pick the AirPods Pro 3 if you care most about battery — with case and driver size. The biggest gaps in its favor are battery — with case, driver size, weight per bud.

Pick the Elite 10 Gen 2 if audio quality and feature breadth (ANC, codecs, multipoint) are the lead criteria for your purchase. Its strongest claims are multipoint.

Both ship with comparable battery — buds, active noise cancellation, water resistance, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.

Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
