Apple AirPods Pro 3 True Wireless Earbuds
The big news with the new Apple AirPods Pro 3 true wireless earbuds is improved active noise cancellation (ANC) along with an improved design and fit, integrated heart rate sensing, and extended battery life. The new ANC removes up to twice as much noise as the previous generation model thanks to ultra-low noise microphones, advanced computational audio, and new foam-infused ear tips for better passive noise isolation. This is complemented by a more personalized Transparency experience so you can hear your own voice and the person speaking to you more naturally. They also afford a better, more secure fit while wearing them for activities like running, HIIT, and yoga thanks to the smaller design and five included foam-infused ear tip sizes, starting with a new XXS size. A new PPGs sensor can measure heart rate right from the buds using the meaure of light absorption in blood flow. You can track more than 50 workout types and access the new Workout Buddy with Apple Intelligence for personalized, motivational insights. If you use Apple Fitness+ with AirPods 3, you can see real-time performance metrics on screen, including heart rate, calories burned, progress towards closing the Move ring, and Burn Bar. The buds add Live Translation to simplify face-to-face conversations with someone who doesn’t speak the same language. If the other person doesn’t have this capability, you can use the iPhone as a horizontal display to show the live transcription. Audibly, you get next-generation Adaptive EQ to assist with bass response, widen the soundstage, and enhance vocal clarity. They are IP57 sweat and water resistant.
The Apple AirPods Pro 3 start at $329 in Canada. They come with a three-month Apple Music and Apple Fitness+ trial for new subscribers.
