In the third generation of AirPods Pro, the developers have worked hard to improve the sound and shape of the accessories themselves, enhance noise cancellation, and make workouts more productive. We have prepared a review of AirPods Pro 3: the pros and cons of the gadget, new features, and their benefits. 

AirPods Pro 3

Design and Fit 

Apple developers analyzed more than 10,000 ear scans and improved the shape of the earbuds, which now fit even more people. As a result, they reduced the size of the accessory itself, increased the size of the ear tips, and shifted them slightly. The ear tips are made with foam added to silicone. Incidentally, the comfort and fit of the AirPods Pro 3 has also been improved thanks to an expanded selection of sizes — XXS has been added to the standard set of ear tips. 

When connecting the earbuds to your phone via Bluetooth for the first time, the AirPods Pro 3 version offers a new acoustic test. It analyzes how well each ear is covered by the ear tips. If something is wrong, it suggests changing the size. 

A comparison between AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods Pro 2 is inevitable: the new model has improved protection against dust, sweat, and water — IP57 versus IP54 in the previous version. Now, the headphones are definitely not afraid of intense workouts and rain. 

Improved Noise Cancellation 

The new generation uses a multichannel acoustic architecture. It regulates sounds that come with the airflow and creates a spatial perception. How noise cancellation has changed: 

  • it has become twice as effective as in the second generation, and four times better than in the first; 
  • it creates a deeper immersion effect — even on the road and on a noisy street; 
  • new processing algorithms work in conjunction with foam ear tips for passive noise cancellation. 

The battery life of AirPods Pro 3 when using active noise cancellation (ANC) mode has increased from 6 hours in the previous generation to 8 hours. Incidentally, without this feature, the headphones can work for up to 10 hours without recharging and a total of 24 hours with the case. 

The sound quality of AirPods Pro 3 has improved thanks to the new generation Adaptive EQ equalizer. And in transparency mode, everything sounds more natural. 

Workouts with Apple Intelligence 

One of the main innovations is the heart rate sensor, which is the smallest in Apple’s history. It monitors your heart rate during workouts using infrared light. Other improvements in AirPods Pro 3: 

  1. When paired with a phone, the headphones recognize about 50 workouts, autonomously track your heart rate, and count calories, closing activity rings on your smartphone. 
  1. With the new Workout Buddy feature, the system provides tips and motivation during your workout, taking into account your previous achievements and activity. 
  1. With an Apple Fitness+ subscription, you can track key metrics transmitted from your headphones in real time on your phone screen. 

However, these options are only available if you connect your headphones to an iPhone with the latest version of artificial intelligence and English is set as the main interface language. 

Live Translation 

Communicating with foreigners is now easier thanks to the Live Translation feature—the headphones translate foreign speech themselves, so you don’t have to type every word into the translator on your phone. This option is also made possible by Apple Intelligence, which is now available on AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 (ANC). If the person you are talking to does not have headphones or their phone does not support artificial intelligence, they can use text transcription on their iPhone. 

The only caveat is that live translation is currently only available in English, German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Apple promises to expand this list to include Korean, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese (simplified version).

Hearing Options 

Last year, developers presented the first comprehensive hearing system, and now they are continuing to develop it. With the help of headphones, you can check your hearing at home. At the same time, a comparison of AirPods Pro 3 with previous models shows that the results of the new product will be more accurate, thanks to improved noise cancellation. 

The new AirPods Pro have features that allow them to be used as hearing aids. For example, there is a speech amplification option in universal access. It automatically activates when you are in a noisy place: a café, public transport, or on the street. The system amplifies voices and makes them clearer, while reducing all extraneous noise. 

Sum Up 

AirPods Pro 3 have been upgraded with workout options, stay in your ears more securely, and work great with artificial intelligence. They deliver higher quality and more natural sound. The only caveat is that you need a smartphone with Apple Intelligence and English as the system language.
