Apple’s newest AirPods are a step up from the original AirPods. They boast advanced features that make them more comfortable and convenient to use. The AirPods Pro are designed for those who want the best possible experience with their Apple products. They come with a new design that is more comfortable to wear, as well as a new battery life. They also have an improved sound quality, making them perfect for music lovers.
The first thing you’ll notice is the redesigned shape with shorter stems: The new third-generation AirPods look more like Apple’s higher-end AirPods Pro than the second-generation AirPods.
Many features found in the AirPods Pro have been added to third-generation AirPods. You’ll get spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, adaptive EQ, and “force sensor controls,” meaning you can press or long-press a button rather than just tapping your finger on an AirPod. They’re also now sweat and water-resistant, just like the AirPods Pro.
The AirPods case has also seen some upgrades. It supports MagSafe for wireless charging and Apple’s Find My network for finding lost AirPods. Battery life is an hour longer with 6 hours of listening time and 4 hours of talk time.
Those are just a few of the larger improvements, but Apple is also promising improved audio quality with FaceTime calls and a new driver for better audio quality.
The third-generation AirPods Pro are available on the Apple Store for preorder starting October 18, 2021, and they’ll be available in stores starting October 26, 2021. We look forward to trying them out!
