You can expect a lot from AirPods Pro 3, especially if you’re thinking about an upgrade. They deliver a snug fit and clearer sound quality, but the battery life isn’t as good as before.
New Comfort and Design Features
The design of AirPods Pro 3 focuses on user comfort, making them lighter and easier to wear for long periods. With new foam-infused ear tips, they create a better seal, which adds to their effectiveness.
Apple claims these earbuds were developed from over 100,000 hours of user research, making them the “most secure and best-fitting AirPods ever.” Many users have echoed these sentiments, noting the improved fit gives a feeling of wearing nothing at all.
Performance Insights
While the sound quality remains consistent with AirPods Pro 2, users have noticed greater clarity when using the transparency mode. This improvement means conversations are easier while wearing the earbuds, addressing a common issue among previous models.
Here’s a quick rundown of the performance differences:
- Better clarity in transparency mode
- Similar audio quality to Pro 2
- Up to 10 hours of listening time
Battery Life Comparison
A significant downside is the AirPods Pro 3’s overall battery life. Although the individual earbuds last longer, the charging case has a smaller battery capacity. Users get about 24 hours total listening time with the case, a drop from 30 hours with the Pro 2.
You’ll notice more frequent reminders to charge, shifting how often you’ll need to check the battery status on these earbuds.
