1. Improved Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)
The ANC has been further enhanced to block out more ambient noise, providing a quieter listening experience. This is useful in noisy environments like airplanes, public transport, or busy streets.
2. Transparency Mode
An improved Transparency Mode lets in outside sounds more naturally, which is useful for situations where you need to be aware of your surroundings while still listening to music or taking calls.
3. Adaptive Transparency
A new feature that automatically adjusts the level of transparency based on the noise levels around you. It can reduce sudden loud noises (like construction or sirens) without blocking out the sound entirely.
4. Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking
The 3rd-generation AirPods continue to support Spatial Audio, which offers an immersive, theater-like sound experience. The dynamic head-tracking feature adjusts sound direction as you move your head, enhancing the experience for movies, music, and video calls.
5. MagSafe Charging Case with Find My Support
The MagSafe-compatible charging case allows for easy and secure wireless charging. Additionally, the case integrates with Apple's Find My network, so you can locate your AirPods and their case if they’re lost.
6. Longer Battery Life
The 3rd-gen AirPods feature up to 6 hours of listening time on a single charge with ANC off (about 4.5 hours with ANC on), and with the charging case, you can get a total of up to 30 hours of listening time.
7. Improved Sound Quality
Apple has made upgrades to both the drivers and amplifier in the AirPods Pro 3, delivering deeper bass, clearer highs, and a more balanced audio profile overall.
8. Touch-Sensitive Controls
Unlike previous versions, these AirPods come with a force sensor that allows you to adjust volume with a simple swipe gesture on the stem, alongside the usual play/pause, skip, and call answering gestures.
9. Sweat and Water Resistance
The AirPods Pro 3 are rated IPX4, making them resistant to sweat and water. This makes them ideal for workouts or outdoor use in light rain.
10. Ear Tip Fit Test
Apple offers an improved Ear Tip Fit Test to ensure the best possible seal for your ears, providing better noise isolation and sound quality.
11. Bluetooth 5.3
Equipped with Bluetooth 5.3 technology, which offers faster pairing, more stable connections, and improved power efficiency.
These features make the AirPods Pro 3rd Generation an excellent choice for users looking for premium wireless earphones with superior sound, comfort, and noise control features.
