The AirPods Pro 3 mark a major leap for Apple's wireless earbuds, and there's no shortage of reasons why. The focus keyword here—AirPods Pro 3—is at the core of everything that's new: from smarter noise cancellation and heart-rate tracking to game-changing Live Translation that works directly in your ear.
First up, on the AirPods Pro 3, active noise cancellation (ANC) is up to twice as strong as on previous models, making use of ultra-low noise microphones and new foam-infused ear tips for impressive noise isolation. During real-world demos, the AirPods Pro 3 simply block out more distractions than ever—so much so, it can silence background chatter or the roar of a bustling cafe in seconds.
Live Translation on the AirPods Pro 3 finally brings real-time language support, letting wearers translate conversations with the help of the H2 chip and Siri. Just press or ask for the feature—no phone needed in hand. ANC also assists by lowering the speaker's volume so the translation is crystal clear, with transcriptions appearing on the paired iPhone.
