"Almost three years after Apple introduced the original AirPods Pro 2 (updated with USB-C in 2023) with category-defining sound quality and active noise cancellation (ANC), I can safely say that just about every company making ANC wireless earbuds has caught up or surpassed them, and often with buds that are sold for less than $250. Basic wireless earbuds featuresgood audio, good ANC, and good battery lifeare table stakes, and each of these is improved on AirPods Pro 3."
"Apple's third-gen ANC wireless earbuds are an excellent gen-over-gen upgrade and an even bigger leap if you're coming from first-gen AirPods Pro. But what's more interesting is seeing how Apple transforms the AirPods Pro 3 into a health and fitness-centric wearable and a vessel for AI features like Live Translation. To borrow a quote that's often misattributed to Wayne Gretzky, AirPods Pro 3 skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been."
AirPods Pro 3 advance the product line with improved fit, more angled smaller buds, foam-infused eartips, deeper in-ear seating, and slightly repositioned stems. Audio quality, active noise cancellation, and single-charge battery life are all improved versus previous generations. The earbuds introduce simultaneous heart-rate tracking while playing music and on-device Live Translation that initially supports five languages (six counting UK English). The case reduces total battery life compared with the prior model and heart-rate tracking requires the Fitness app. The earbuds carry an IP57 rating and represent a shift toward health and AI capabilities beyond pure audio.
