airpods pro 3 review

The AirPods Pro 3 have received positive early reviews highlighting several key improvements over their predecessor, the AirPods Pro 2. They feature significantly enhanced active noise cancellation (ANC) , claimed to be twice as effective as the Pro 2, thanks to new foam-lined eartips and improved microphones. The noise cancellation is considered among the best in-ear ANC on the market, capable of silencing very noisy environments, including airplane engines and crowded rooms. Sound quality is also improved with a broader soundstage, more precise bass and treble, and enhanced spatial audio capabilities, making music sound clearer and more immersive. The earbuds have been redesigned for better comfort and fit, with five sizes of eartips available instead of three. Another notable addition is a built-in heart rate monitor , allowing users to track workouts and health metrics directly from the earbuds without a separate device. The AirPods Pro 3 also support real-time language translation in conversations, which may be a game- changer for users needing instant translation. Battery life for the earbuds alone is improved, offering up to 8 hours of playback with ANC enabled, compared to 6 hours on the Pro 2. However, the charging case has a smaller battery, providing a total of 24 hours listening time versus 30 hours for the previous generation. Additional enhancements include a new swipe volume control on the stems, better water and dust resistance (IP57 rating), improved call quality, and a more personalized Transparency mode. Overall, the AirPods Pro 3 is seen as a comprehensive upgrade addressing ANC, sound quality, comfort, fitness features, and convenience, making it a strong choice for users of premium true wireless earbuds.
