Overview
Apple's third-generation AirPods Pro add active noise cancellation, heart rate sensing, and USB-C charging. Built for iPhone-centric listeners who want health tracking and translation features layered on top of standard earbuds.
Apple positions several features here, like Live Translation and the Workout Buddy coaching, as tied to Apple Intelligence and to iPhone specifically, so how much of this earbud actually does depends on which iPhone and OS version you pair it with. The heart rate sensor is a genuine hardware addition over the prior generation rather than a software update, which is the more durable upgrade of the two.
- Active noise cancellation rated at up to 2x the prior generation
- Built-in heart rate sensor for workout tracking
- Up to 8 hours listening time with ANC on
- USB-C charging case
Who it's for
IPhone owners who want noise-cancelling earbuds that double as a basic fitness and hearing tool. Less relevant to Android users, since the health and translation features are built around Apple's own ecosystem.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Heart rate sensing built into the earbud
- Five ear tip sizes for a better seal
- Hearing aid feature plus hearing protection built in
- Several features require apple intelligence and a compatible iphone
- No independent reviews included here to confirm real-world battery life
Performance notes
Apple states the noise cancellation removes up to twice as much unwanted sound as the previous AirPods Pro generation, paired with five ear tip sizes meant to seal better across more ear shapes. Battery life is rated at up to 8 hours with noise cancellation on, or up to 10 hours in Transparency mode when using the Hearing Aid feature, and inward-facing microphones continuously adjust the sound profile to how the earbud actually sits in your ear.

Does Live Translation work with any phone?
