"Apple fitted the AirPods Pro 3 with its suite of hearing health features, including Hearing Aid mode, which turns your AirPods into an over-the-counter hearing aid. These AirPods also support hearing protection features, at-home hearing test compatibility, and automation conversation boost when the earbuds are in Hearing Aid mode. The AirPods Pro 2 are compatible with the same hearing health features."

AirPods Pro 3 introduce subtle design refinements, improved noise cancellation, and longer battery life while retaining Live Translation, spatial audio, Bluetooth 5.3, and the H2 audio chip. The most notable new hardware is an onboard heart-rate sensor that enables heart-rate, calories-burned, and workout-time tracking via the iPhone Fitness app. Hearing-health capabilities include Hearing Aid mode, hearing protection, at-home hearing test compatibility, and Conversation Boost automation. The Pro 3 upgrade dust and water resistance to IP57 and include small hardware changes that collectively enhance the user experience, raising questions about value versus a $250 purchase.
