The Apple AirPods 3 have better noise-canceling, audio and call quality and so, so many new features.

If you’re ready for an earbud upgrade, the newest AirPods Pro model is peak. Apple says its ANC is now twice as effective as the previous generation, thanks to improved microphones and redesigned ear tips. Sound quality also gets a lift, with richer bass, clearer vocals and a wider soundstage that makes everything sound more dynamic.

“The sound quality is unreal,” raves user Isaiah. “The bass is deeper, the vocals are crystal clear, and everything just sounds so immersive. Whether I’m listening to music, watching a show or taking calls, the audio feels rich and perfectly balanced.”

Beyond audio, this is the first model that leans into “wearable” tech territory, much like a smartwatch. There’s now a built-in heart rate sensor for health tracking, plus you can toggle up to 50 different workout types. Battery life has been extended to up to eight hours per charge with noise cancellation on, and its hardware is much stronger in terms of water- and sweat-resistance.

They also feature live translation, which gives you real-time language translation directly through the earbuds while you’re speaking with someone else in different languages. This is a game-changer for international travel!
