Apple officially introduced the AirPods Pro 3 at its major launch event in 2025, delivering some of the most significant upgrades the lineup has seen since its debut.
The new earbuds promise stronger bass and a wider soundstage, while noise cancellation performance has doubled compared to the AirPods Pro 2. Apple says this is made possible by redesigned foam ear tips, now offered in five sizes, alongside improved hardware and software.
The company is confident enough to claim that the AirPods Pro 3 deliver the most effective ANC available in any pair of in-ear wireless headphones.
Better Sound, Longer Battery, Fitness Features
Battery life has also received a notable boost. With ANC switched on, users can expect up to 8 hours of playback, a 33 percent jump over the previous model. Transparency mode has been fine-tuned to sound more natural and can stretch battery life to 10 hours.
Apple’s Hearing Aid feature, already certified in the US, is now rolling out across the UK and EU, while Conversation Boost is becoming automatic for certified users in noisy environments. This feature uses amplification and background noise reduction to make voices clearer in places like restaurants.
