How we assessed it
We synthesized this
The AirPods Pro 3 are built around Apple's H2 chip, and it shows: active noise cancellation and a Transparency Mode that switch cleanly between shutting the world out and letting it back in. This generation reaches past music, too — heart-rate sensing during workouts, Live Translation on the move, and personalised Spatial Audio, all charging over USB-C. For someone already carrying an iPhone, this is the earbud that does the most.
The catch is that same tie-in. Away from an iPhone or Mac the feature set is trimmed back, so if your phone runs Android you will use a fraction of what these can do. Our read synthesises Apple's documented H2 features and the AirPods Pro reputation rather than a hands-on ANC protocol — see how we test.
