A closer look at the AirPods Pro 3: ANC, Live Translation and heart-rate tracking


We spent extra time with the AirPods Pro 3 to get more info about the biggest updates.

After my brief hands-on immediately following the iPhone 17 launch yesterday, I’ve since spent more time test driving all of the new features on the AirPods Pro 3 — from the improved active noise cancellation (ANC) to Live Translation and heart-rate monitoring. Sam Rutherford for EngadgetMaggie Rogers’ “Alaska” was the test track of choice during my demo, a song I’m familiar with since I’ve listened to the album Heard It in a Past Life a ton. I listened to the AirPods Pro 2 on the flight out here to refresh my memory and it was immediately apparent that Apple has made some big upgrades to sound quality on this new model.
