The main innovation is the new H3 processor, which delivers better performance and energy efficiency. This improves sound quality and Active Noise Cancellation, which is now more stable and better able to cope with external noise.
The design of the headphones is more compact, with shorter legs and a redesigned charging case that now features a touch-sensitive button for control. The earbuds also get a built-in heart rate sensor, as well as a rumored temperature sensor, which expands their health and fitness capabilities.

Another interesting feature is instant translation. Unfortunately (though that’s to be expected), there will be no Russian language voiceover. But getting an instant translation from Spanish to English is much cooler than not understanding what the other person is saying at all.
When you’re playing sports, the sports assistant will now cheer you on and motivate you to stay on track. If you’ve been looking for a sports assistant like this, these headphones are a must-have.
The headphones will last 8 hours on a single charge in active noise-canceling mode, and in normal mode, they’ll last up to 10 hours. Five pairs of interchangeable ear pads are included to help you customize the earbuds to your exact size.
The company claims improved battery life over the previous generation. Meanwhile, the price has remained the same as past models at $249. Sales will begin on September 19.
It’s also reported that an even more advanced version of AirPods Pro 3 could be released in 2026, with support for infrared cameras and new spatial interaction features.
Conclusion
AirPods Pro 3 were a major step forward for Apple, with a compact design, fresh H3 chip, improved sound, and new biometric sensors making them one of the key products in the lineup. The headphones retain their familiar price point, but promise a significant increase in features.
