AirPods Pro 3
The new generation of the AirPods Pro is available! Apple announced the AirPods Pro 3 on Tuesday 9 September. The advanced ears are equipped with an improved fit and many new functions. One of those new features has been expected for years and makes the AirPods Pro 3 unique. It is possible for the first time with the AirPods Pro in 2025 to measure your heart rate. The AirPods Pro 3 are Apple’s first ears with this function.
It has been possible for some time to measure your heart rate with your Apple Watch. With the AirPods Pro 3 you no longer need Apple Watch for the function, because the ears can also take heart rate measurements. These measurements are primarily intended for training, so that you see your heart rate in the fitness app on your iPhone during a workout. After completing your training you can see more information about your heart rate, such as your average heart rate and the different heart rate zones.

@iphonednl These are the brand new AirPods Pro 3 with heart rate sensor, live translation, better noise canceling & new design. For € 249 – Are they worth it? What do you think? #Creatorsarchinsights #Airpods #Airpodpro3 #apple #Techtok Beans – Yawn.
This is how the heart rate monitor works
The AirPods Pro 3 have small LED lights, with which the ears measure your heart rate during a training. For this measurement, the AirPods combine all data from the LEDs, which issue an invisible light pulse no less than 256 times per second. This information is combined with data from the gear meters in the AirPods. All collected information ensures an accurate heart rate measurement that you see in the fitness app.
The new function of the AirPods Pro 3 not only provides insight into your heartbeat, but also helps with keeping up with all burned calories during a workout. These can be better kept with the help of the heart rate monitor. This way you can see exactly how intensive your training was and how many calories you burned. With the AirPods Pro 3 you will finally no longer need Apple Watch for these health functions.
Better AirPods, lower price
At the AirPods Pro 3 we see more new functions in addition to the heart rate monitor. For example, the noise control has been greatly improved, according to Apple, the active noise reduction is even better twice compared to the AirPods Pro 2. That means that the AirPods Pro 3 no longer has any trouble with busy spaces, because they stop disturbing background noises much better. That is not at the expense of the battery, because you have switched on up to eight hours of listening time with active noise reduction.
Furthermore, the AirPods Pro 3 are better dust, sweat and water resistant and the fit has been improved. The ears come as standard with five silicone attachments, so that there is a suitable size for everyone. Fortunately, we don’t see that the AirPods Pro 3 have many new functions in the price, Apple has even lowered the starting price of the AirPods Pro this year. Curious about this lower price?
