AirPods Pro 3 review: Apple's best-sounding and best-fitting AirPods yet


The AirPods Pro 3 feel more secure in my ears, sound better and last longer than the three-year-old AirPods Pro 2. This is going to be the easy recommendation in a while.

Apple doubled down on active noise canceling (ANC) that’s twice as effective as the AirPods Pro 2 and offers a better fit with memory-foam-infused silicon eartips. A noisy NYC restaurant is no match for the new AirPods Pro 3 with superb ANC (Image credit: Max Buondonno / The Shortcut) The difference between the two (toggled in the Settings, Control Center, or pinching down on the stem) is even more apparent now, and voices in transparency modes sound even more natural than they did on my AirPods Pro 2.
