"Apple has taken what is arguably one its most iconic and widely acclaimed products -- the AirPods Pro 2 -- and elevated them with a significant upgrade for 2025. Since the product has a simple mission and it didn't appear that there were a ton of things Apple could do to make them better, it's always a risk to make big changes."
"I've been using a pair for two weeks since they were first announced at the Apple Event. And I'm happy -- even a little relieved -- to report that Apple didn't ruin a good thing here. In fact, there's one area where I didn't realize it was even possible to make them better, but they are. And there are new features that make the product more useful. Of course, there are also a couple gaps and blind spots, and we'll talk about those, too."
AirPods Pro 3 delivers a major 2025 upgrade to the AirPods Pro 2, improving core performance, usability, and feature set while preserving the product's original mission. Unexpected refinements raise audio and noise‑cancellation effectiveness in at least one previously limited area. New features increase everyday usefulness, although a few gaps and blind spots remain. Real‑world testing began on September 9, including a five‑hour flight to evaluate sound, ANC, and battery life, followed by daily comparisons with AirPods 4 with Noise Cancellation, Sony WF‑1000XM5 earbuds, and Meta Ray‑Bans smart glasses. Longstanding AirPods ownership informed historical perspective and accessory usage.
