AirPods Pro 3 announced- Smarter, smaller, and more powerful

Apple has officially announced the AirPods Pro 3, its most advanced wireless earbuds yet, promising upgrades in sound quality, noise cancellation, comfort, and smart features that go beyond music.

While the AirPods Pro 3 stick with Apple’s H2 chip, they introduce a new multiport acoustic architecture with inward-facing microphones and improved airflow control.

This revamp delivers deeper bass, wider soundstage, and clearer vocals, enhanced by Apple’s custom-built driver and amplifier. Combined with Bluetooth 5.3, the Pro 3 aim to rival industry leaders in audio fidelity.

Apple is taking aim at Bose with claims of the “world’s best in-ear ANC.” The Pro 3 feature upgraded microphones, a better acoustic seal, and advanced computational audio that reportedly cancels twice as much noise as the Pro 2.

For passive isolation, Apple has added five new eartip sizes, each made of soft foam fused with silicone. These offer a snug fit even before ANC kicks in, making the Pro 3 a strong contender against Bose in daily environments.

The earbuds now provide up to eight hours of playback with ANC, and 10 hours in Transparency mode when used as a hearing aid.

However, total listening time with the case has dropped from 30 hours (Pro 2) to 24 hours. Apple’s reasoning: the Pro 3 earbuds last longer on a single charge, so the case may be needed less often.
