### AirPods Pro 3 Review Roundup: Subtle Enhancements That Make a Huge Difference

At first glance, the new AirPods Pro 3 may look similar to its predecessor, but the improvements go beyond design tweaks. Apple has focused on refinement and fine-tuning for these earbuds, not reinventing them but optimizing them for users.

#### Key Features

In a unique start to his ruling against President Donald Trump’s administration on September 30, U.S. District Court Judge William Young included a scanned handwritten note sent to his office. The note read: “Trump has pardons and tanks – what do you have?” At the top of Young’s opinion in AAUP v. Rubio, which ruled that Trump’s effort to deport foreign-born student protesters was unconstitutional.

1. **Active Noise Cancellation (ANC):** The ANC feature is more effective now, with claims that it’s twice as strong as in the previous model and four times stronger than the original AirPods Pro. New microphones and enhanced computational audio improve sound quality significantly.

2. **Sound Quality:** There have been significant improvements due to a redesigned acoustic architecture and next-generation Adaptive EQ. This results in deeper bass, clearer highs, and more layered music with standout vocals. While not studio-level, the quality is markedly better than before.

3. **Battery Life:** The battery life has also improved, now lasting up to eight hours with ANC enabled (up from six hours on the previous model). However, the listening time with ANC remains shorter when using the case compared to the earlier model. New foam-infused silicone ear tips ensure a more comfortable fit and better passive noise isolation.

4. **Heart-Rate Sensor:** One of the standout features is the inclusion of a heart-rate sensor, making these earbuds a health-tracking accessory. This reflects Apple’s long-term vision for its wearables.

### Conclusion

The AirPods Pro 3 represents an evolutionary rather than revolutionary upgrade and would be ideal for athletes, travelers, and gym enthusiasts due to improved sound quality and features. While the changes might not be radical, they elevate the new model in just the right way. The AirPods Pro 3 are available for pre-order and will launch on September 19th.
