Apple has announced the AirPods Pro 3rd generation. These have a renewed design with slimmer earplugs and a more compact charging case. They are equipped with the new H3 chip, which ensures improved audio quality and a more powerful active noise reduction, which blocks environmental sounds even more effectively.
In addition, the AirPods Pro 3 offer advanced health functions, such as a built -in heart rate monitor. Thanks to the addition of the second generation Ultra Wideband chip you can find the charging case even more accurately via the search Mijn-app.
AirPods Pro 3 design
The AirPods Pro 3 itself retain their compact design with silicone ear tips and short rod, after all, this is the trademark of the AirPods. These characteristics not only ensure a sleek and modern look, but also for an ergonomic fit that offers comfort, even during long -term use.
Renewed charging case
The charging case of the AirPods Pro 3rd generation has become a bit smaller and has said goodbye to the physical coupling button. Instead, just like with the AirPods 4th generation, a touch -sensitive button (capacitive) is added just below the status light. By tapping on the front of the charging case, you can activate the button and use it for different purposes. The functions that are linked to the capacitive button are the same as the previous generations, but the button is no longer visible. The charging case may also contain a U2 chip to make accurate search with the search my app possible.
Powerful processor
The AirPods Pro 3 are equipped with the more powerful processor, it is unclear whether it is the old H2 chip or a new H3 chip. The processor is mainly used for the improved active noise reduction and energy -saving functions. Adaptive audio and transparency mode, conversation detection and more have also been improved thanks to this new chip.
Improved active noise reduction
The new AirPods Pro 3 have improved audio quality and the active noise reduction (ANC). The H3 chip provides 2x better noise reduction than the AirPods Pro 2, which was already twice as effective as earlier models. This means that the AirPods Pro 3 ambient noise can block even more effectively, which mainly offers benefits in noisy environments such as trains, on the street, planes or offices. Spatial audio has also been greatly improved thanks to internal improvements that better move the audio to your ear.
Heart rate monitoring
The AirPods Pro 3 are equipped with optical sensors that measure your blood flow in the ear through light, more than 100 times per second to determine your heartbeat. This technology, similar to that in the Apple Watch and PowerBeats Pro 2, makes it possible to accurately follow your heartbeat during activities without having to wear a watch.
The measured heart rate information is directly synchronized with the Health app on the iPhone, making it easy to keep track of your health data. The ear is a suitable place for heart rate measurement because it is less sensitive to movement than the wrist, which can deliver more reliable measurements during sports such as running or cycling.
Live translate
AirPods Pro 3rd generation are given the opportunity to translate conversations live in combination with Apple Intelligence. When someone speaks to you in a foreign language, the AirPods can detect and translate this into your ear. This function works with a supporting iPhone and the translation app. Not all languages ​​are available from the start, so we have to wait a while for Dutch, but translating to English is possible.
