Next-Level Audio & Noise Control
The AirPods Pro 3 represent a significant leap from previous generation models. Thanks to an upgraded acoustic architecture, they deliver richer bass, clearer vocals, and a wider soundstage. Moreover, these earbuds come with improved Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that’s claimed to be twice as effective as AirPods Pro 2. That means when you’re in noisy environments—on public transport, in a bustling café, or walking down a busy street—you’ll notice more sound blocked out.
In addition, Apple has introduced a new Adaptive Audio system that blends transparency and ANC to let you hear what you need—like conversations—without fully removing the earbuds. There’s also a voice-isolation mode that improves call clarity by emphasizing speech and reducing background noise.
Fit, Comfort, and Durability Enhancements
Fit is a cornerstone of the Pro 3 design. Apple analyzed over 10,000 ear scans and now includes five sizes of ear tips (XXS, XS, S, M, L), some of them foam-infused, for a more secure and comfortable seal. This helps with passive noise isolation as well.
Durability has also been upgraded: the AirPods Pro 3 carry an IP57 rating for dust and sweat/water resistance. You can safely take them out in wet weather or during sweat-intensive workouts.
Features & Smart Capabilities
-
Heart-rate sensor: A small built-in sensor lets you track heart rate and calories burned during workouts via the Fitness app.
-
Live Translation: With iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence, these earbuds support near real-time translation—allowing you to converse more easily across language boundaries.
-
Hearing Health Tools: Includes a validated Hearing Test, Conversation Boost (which enhances speech in noisy environments), and improved Transparency mode.
-
Enhanced Sensors & Mics: Ultra-low-noise microphones, both outward & inward facing, help with ANC, voice detection for calls, and fit detection.
Battery Life & Charging
You get up to 8 hours of listening time with ANC enabled on a single charge. If you use Transparency mode + Hearing Aid features, battery life can go further (depending on settings). The MagSafe/USB-C charging case provides additional charges to bring total listening time much higher over the day.
Note: Apple has removed the charging cable from the box, so you’ll need a compatible USB-C cable if you don’t already have one.
