AirPods Pro 3: Smarter, Healthier, and Truly Next-Gen Wireless Audio
World-Leading Active Noise Cancellation with Custom Acoustic Design
AirPods Pro 3 set a new benchmark for in-ear ANC, deploying Apple’s latest multiport acoustic architecture. This upgraded system blocks twice as much background noise as the previous Pro 2 model (and four times more than the original), while ensuring more dynamic, spatial audio and natural transparency. Apple’s system uses ultra-low noise mics and foam-infused ear tips, now available in five sizes—including an all-new XXS for smaller ears—delivering an immersive, secure fit for any ear shape.
Precision Heart Rate Tracking and Advanced Workout Integration
A headline feature is the built-in PPG heart rate sensor, making AirPods Pro 3 the first Apple earbuds to monitor heart rate and calories burned directly from your ears. The sensor shines invisible infrared light up to 256 times per second, using sensor fusion with accelerometers and on-device AI for accurate readings across 50+ workout types. Metrics sync seamlessly with the Fitness app, and the new AI-powered Workout Buddy offers real-time vocal motivation, personalized insights, and Move ring progress via Siri—turning your headphones into a portable health companion.
Live Translation and AI-Driven Communication
AirPods Pro 3 are the first Apple accessory to deploy Live Translation—real-time audio-powered language conversion for in-person conversations or overseas travel. Leveraging Apple Intelligence and computational audio, users effortlessly communicate across languages including English, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese. Paired with adaptive transparency and personalized EQ, AirPods Pro 3 transform everyday conversations and travel experiences.
Redesigned Fit: Smaller, Lighter, More Secure
Apple’s design team scanned over 10,000 ears and spent more than 100,000 hours validating comfort—resulting in a smaller, lighter form with an up-to-IP57 rating. That means superior resistance to dust, sweat, and water, ideal for tough workouts, rain, or everyday adventures. Five ear tip sizes and foam-infused material guarantee a secure, gentle seal in any condition.
Battery Life, Durability, and Smart Features
Listen longer with up to 8 hours of playback with ANC (33% more than Pro 2), and 10 hours with transparency mode—plus five charges in the MagSafe case for a total 40-hour lifespan before recharging. Conversation Boost is now automatic: enhancing speech clarity for calls in noisy places. New hearing health tools offer on-device hearing tests and compliant audio protection, a first for Apple earbuds in Europe and the UK.
Environmental Impact and Design
Apple continues its eco-friendly push, with AirPods Pro 3 crafted from 40% recycled materials—including 100% recycled cobalt in batteries and 65% recycled plastic in the case. Packaging has shifted to entirely recycled fiber, supporting Apple’s global carbon reduction goals.
Pricing, Colors, and Availability
AirPods Pro 3 retail at $249 in the US, with pre-orders live now and in-store availability beginning September 19, 2025. The box includes five pairs of ear tips (XXS–L), a USB-C MagSafe Charging Case, and a lanyard loop. Compatibility is ensured across all devices running iOS 17 or later.
AirPods Pro 3—A Leap Forward for Wireless Audio
