Apple has officially introduced the AirPods Pro 3, the successor to the AirPods Pro 2. The latest model comes with an updated design, enhanced health-focused features, and smarter functionality.
AirPods Pro 3 Specs and Features
Apple claims the AirPods Pro 3 feature the World’s Best ANC, delivering up to 2x stronger noise cancellation than the previous generation and 4x better than the first AirPods Pro. This is achieved through a new multi-port acoustic design, ultra-low-noise microphones, and advanced computational audio.
The earbuds feature foam-infused ear tips, available in five sizes including a new XXS option offering enhanced passive noise isolation for a secure and comfortable fit, even during intense activities.
Apple has redesigned the AirPods Pro 3 using insights from thousands of ear scans and extensive user testing, enabling the company to create a smaller, more stable shape for the latest model.
Acoustic performance has been further improved with next-gen Adaptive EQ, which Apple says expands the soundstage and enhances vocal clarity. Additionally, Transparency Mode has been upgraded to deliver more natural voice reproduction and smoother blending with surrounding sounds.
With an IP57 rating for sweat and water resistance, the AirPods Pro 3 are designed to withstand intense workouts and daily wear. On the battery front, they deliver up to 8 hours of playback with ANC enabled, and up to 10 hours when ANC is turned off.
The Apple AirPods Pro 3 bring fitness tracking to the wireless experience with a built-in PPG sensor that uses infrared light pulsing 256 times per second to monitor heart rate. Paired with sensor fusion and on-device AI on iPhone, they support over 50 workout types while tracking heart rate and calories.
Apple has also introduced a new Workout Buddy experience powered by Apple Intelligence, allowing Fitness+ users to view real-time metrics such as heart rate and calorie burn on-screen during their workouts.
A key highlight is the new Live Translation feature, enabling AirPods Pro 3 users to engage in smooth face-to-face conversations across different languages. Powered by the Apple Intelligence model, it automatically lowers the speaker’s voice and delivers a translated version in real time.
