Airpods Pro 3 is here.
Correctly, Apple has a new pair of wireless noise inhibitors for the first time a year. And, after wearing them for the last few days – including one airplane and one lawn mowing, I can say that they are quite damn impressive.
These third generation headphones look the same as their 2022. The released predecessors-bets are already from the distance and have many of the same opportunities, including the same listening methods, support for direct translation (if paired with a newer iPhone) and the ability to act as clinical level of hearing.

However, Apple Airpods Pro has provided quite an improvement. They exercise the updated headphone design, feature new foam dressing headphones and boast of improved sound quality. In addition, Apple says active noise cancellation is twice as high.
And while their sound quality and active noise channel are undoubtedly exclusivity, Apple has many small ways to update the Airpods Pro 3 that-ypaci for those who have not bought new Airpod for several years, making these new wireless headphones.
Here are the less known details you need to know.

The most sweaty planes of all time
If you are someone who works with Airpods Pro, you can be sure that these third generation models are even more durable than their predecessors.
This is because the Airpods Pro 3 has an IP57 rating, which is a significant update through the Airpods Pro IP54 rating and the highest Airpods rating to this day.
The IP57 rating means that the headphones and the case that also have an IP57 rating can be briefly submerged in the water, while the previous Airpods could only withstand the splash.
Basically, they are ready to handle a lot from sweat.

The first Airpods with a heart rate sensor
Perhaps the most interesting thing is that the Airpods Pro 3 is the first Airpod to have an integrated heart rate sensor-Beats did the same with its latest Powerbeats Pro 2.
The heart rhythm sensor starts gear when training in the Fitness app. And that allows you to follow your heart rate and burn calories, you don’t need to Apple Watch.
True, if you have an Apple Watch, the AirPods Pro 3 heart rate sensor will not add so much value – because the heart rate sensor Apple Watch does the same thing, but this is a pretty good feature for those who do not follow the Apple Watch.

Easier to find when you get lost
If you are someone who is constantly misleading to your Airpods and uses Find My App to find them, Airpods Pro 3 has a fairly neat quality of life. Specifically, they have a better precision conclusion.
Accurate finding is a feature that you approach your Apple device – be it your iPhone, Airtags, Airpods or Apple Watch – Find My App will indicate a directional arrow pointing you to the exact location. Basically, it helps to better find the wrong device.

So far, the exact finding has become more active when you get to the distance of about 30 feet from the wrong device. However, the AirPods Pro 3 charging case has been improved using the second -generation of Apple’s second -generation broadband (UWB) chip, which increases the accuracy conclusion range by 1.5x.
So now the exact finding starts gear when you are even further.

And longer battery life (as if)
As you expected, Apple gave the Airpods Pro 3 to an excellent battery to increase the Airpods Pro 2. But while this is true, it is also a bit caught.
This is because each headset battery life is longer. When turning on an active noise-Cancler, each Airpods Pro 3 headphones are rated as “up to 8 hours of battery”. This is a two -hour update for each Airpods Pro 2.

However, the total operation of the Airpods Pro 3 battery is actually lower. When using a charging case, the Airpods Pro 3 is evaluated by “up to 24 hours” when the ARPODS Pro 2 has “up to 30 hours”. It’s a pretty big hit.
The reason is that Apple had to rearrange its charging tray – it is slightly taller than the Airpods Pro 2 to apply the new Airpods Pro 3 stem design.
The Airpods Pro 3 is ready to pre -order now and availability begins on Friday, September 19th. They cost $ 249, which is the same price as before.
