AirPods Pro 3: Apple’s Next-Gen Earbuds Take a Major Leap

Apple has just unveiled the AirPods Pro 3 and trust us - this isn’t just a refresh; it’s a quantum leap forward in personal audio. With enhanced features that cross the boundaries of fitness, communication, and immersive sound design, these earbuds are shaping up to be the most sophisticated yet.

Sound That Surpasses Expectations

Apple boldly claims “the world’s best in-ear Active Noise Cancellation,” noting that the AirPods Pro 3 block up to twice as much noise as their immediate predecessors and four times as much as the original AirPods Pro. That performance boost stems from a new multi-port acoustic architecture, ultra-low-noise microphones, foam-infused ear tips, and advanced computational audio. Together, these innovations offer a richer bass, wider soundstage, and crisper vocals - whether you're commuting, working out, or winding down.

Designed for More People, in More Ways

Through analyzing over 10,000 ear scans (and 300 million facial data points), Apple has re-engineered the AirPods Pro 3 to fit securely and comfortably for a broader range of users. The earbuds are more compact, with in-line geometry and five new foam-infused tip sizes - including an extra-extra-small (XXS) - ensuring stability during running, HIIT, yoga, and beyond. Plus, with IP57 sweat and water resistance, these are earbuds that can withstand the toughest conditions.

Fitness Gets Smarter

One of the standout upgrades: built-in heart rate sensing. Apple’s smallest photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor pulses invisible infrared light 256 times per second to measure blood flow - without needing an Apple Watch. Coupled with accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS, and on-device AI, the AirPods Pro 3 can track over 50 workout types, display live performance data - like your Move ring and Burn Bar - and integrate with the Fitness app and Fitness+ experience.

Bridging Language Gaps - Live and Head-On

Talk to someone who speaks another language? No problem. Live Translation, powered by Apple Intelligence, now works via a quick gesture on the AirPods - streaming translated speech straight to your ears, while showing the partner text on their iPhone. It's a seamless, real-time bridge for cross-language conversations.

Battery, Hearing Health & More

With ANC on, AirPods Pro 3 deliver up to 8 hours of playback - a substantial 33% increase over the previous generation. Engage the Hearing Aid features - including Conversation Boost and enhanced Transparency mode - and you get up to 10 hours of battery life. There’s also built-in hearing health support, including automated tests, hearing protection, and exposure monitoring - continuing Apple's broader mission toward healthier listening experiences.

Remember: A Gift for Audiophiles, Athletes, and Travelers

The AirPods Pro 3 aren't just the next model - they’re a leap into what earbuds can become. They combine top-tier noise cancellation, spatially rich audio, seamless fit, smart health tracking, and real-time language translation - all wrapped in rugged durability with longer battery life.

Whether you're an audiophile craving deeper sound, a fitness enthusiast wanting integrated tracking without extra gadgets, or someone who travels and communicates across languages - the AirPods Pro 3 deliver a compelling and genuinely multi-faceted upgrade. Pre-orders begin today, with shipping starting September 19, 2025.
