Advanced Audio and Design

The new AirPods Pro 3 deliver a leap in audio performance, starting with a powerful 4X increase in Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). This dramatic improvement ensures a truly immersive listening experience, cutting out more ambient noise than ever before. This is complemented by the introduction of advanced computational audio for live translation, a feature powered by Apple Intelligence that promises seamless, real-time communication.

The earbuds have been meticulously redesigned for optimal comfort and fit. Apple has analyzed more than 10,000 ear scans to create a universal fit, and now includes five sizes of ear tips to ensure a perfect seal for every user. The durability has also been significantly upgraded, with a new IP57 rating making them more resistant to dust and water than any previous AirPods model.

Health and Fitness Integration

The AirPods Pro 3 are no longer just for audio—they’re a powerful health and fitness tool. They feature the smallest heart rate sensor on any Apple product, using on-device AI to provide accurate activity and calorie tracking. This new capability unlocks a new fitness experience in the Health app, with over 50 specific activities now supported. The earbuds act as your “Workout Buddy,” motivating you to stay active and even helping you close your move rings, similar to the Apple Watch.

Extended Battery Life and Convenience

Apple has also made key improvements to battery performance. The AirPods Pro 3 offer an impressive 8 hours of battery life on a single charge, allowing for extended listening sessions. For users who rely on the transparency mode, the new model provides up to 10 hours of transparency, which is a significant benefit for hearing aid users.

Pricing

The new AirPods Pro 3 are priced at $249, reflecting their expanded capabilities that go far beyond standard wireless headphones. This price point positions them as a premium device for users who demand the best in audio, health, and design.
