Apple officially introduced the AirPods Pro 3
At its event, Apple revealed the long-anticipated AirPods Pro 3 — the first major refresh three years after the second-generation model. The new earbuds bring revamped audio output, an advanced active noise cancellation system (ANC), and a suite of health and artificial intelligence features that are likely to attract tech enthusiasts.
Main features
Advanced ANC and spatial audio
Apple says the AirPods Pro 3 deliver the "best in the world" ANC among in-ear headphones. Thanks to a higher sound level and new foam tips, active noise cancellation is reportedly up to twice as effective as before. The earbuds also support spatial audio, offering a more immersive listening experience for movies and games.
Heart rate sensor and health data
The new model includes an integrated heart rate sensor that lets users monitor their pulse during workouts directly from the earbuds. This is part of a broader trend of embedding health sensors into compact wearables, expanding the ways headphones can be used for sports and everyday activity tracking.
Performance, battery and design
The AirPods Pro 3 feature updated audio drivers, producing clearer and deeper sound. Battery life is rated up to 8 hours on a single charge, and when using only the transparency mode, runtime can extend to about 10 hours. The overall design remains familiar in many respects, but the earbuds are slightly smaller to better fit a wider range of ear canals.
Comparison and advantages
Compared with other players on the market, the AirPods Pro 3 stand out through tight integration with the Apple ecosystem, advanced ANC, and added health-related features. The live translation capability moves them closer to solutions like Google Pixel Buds, marking an important step toward reducing language barriers.
Use cases and market significance
The AirPods Pro 3 are aimed at a wide audience: travelers, athletes, remote workers, and audiophiles who appreciate spatial audio and effective noise cancellation. Health-tracking features and live translation also expand their usefulness as tools for travel and international communication.
Price and availability
The new AirPods Pro 3 are priced at 249 USD. Pre-orders have already begun, with deliveries scheduled to start on September 19.
