"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."
"Also: I tried Apple's 2 big AI features announced at the iPhone 17 event - and both are game changers I've been using a pair for 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."
AirPods Pro 3 deliver meaningful upgrades over previous AirPods Pro models, improving sound quality, active noise cancellation, and battery life while adding new features that increase everyday usefulness. Two major AI-powered capabilities announced alongside iPhone 17 enhance functionality and usability. Testing began on announcement day, including a five-hour flight to assess ANC, sound, and battery, followed by daily use and direct comparisons with AirPods 4, Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds, and Meta Ray-Bans smart glasses. Familiar strengths from earlier generations remain, and longtime users are likely to welcome the changes, although a few gaps and blind spots persist.
