In-ear TWS · ANC · 6h/30h · H3 chip · BT 5.3

The Apple AirPods Pro 3 is Apple's third-generation flagship earbud, powered by the new H3 chip that delivers the most advanced noise cancellation ever in a true wireless earbud. With approximately 40dB of noise reduction, it matches or exceeds many over-ear headphones in ANC performance, a remarkable feat for an in-ear design. Its standout feature is the groundbreaking health monitoring suite — clinical-grade hearing aid functionality and heart rate sensing — transforming these earbuds from an audio accessory into a health device. The AirPods Pro 3 are best for iPhone users who want the absolute best earbuds for Apple's ecosystem, combining seamless integration with cutting-edge health features. Compared to the Sony WF-1000XM6, the AirPods Pro 3 offer stronger ANC and health features while the Sony wins on sound quality and codec versatility. At 5.4 grams per bud with IP54 protection and 6 hours plus 30 hours total battery, they redefine what earbuds can do.
