Apple AirPods Pro 3 (MFHP4) (2025) (Ultra) headphones

Why is it worth buying AirPods Pro 3?

Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 are more than just headphones – they’re a cutting-edge device that combines everything you need to discover new depths of sound in your favorite tracks, movies, and TV shows. And AirPods Pro 3 is not only about excellent audio quality, it’s also about an ultra-comfortable design, innovative connectivity options, and even new health care features that turn everyday listening into an experience of the future.

Design

At first glance, the AirPods Pro 3 don’t look all that different from their predecessors. But Apple has made subtle design improvements that improve the experience of using the headphones. The charging case is also thinner and now uses touch-based pairing controls, eliminating the physical button. It’s a sleeker, more premium look that retains the AirPods’ signature aesthetic. The earbuds themselves have shorter ear cups and a more natural fit in your ears, making them comfortable for long listening sessions.

Sound

The Pro 3’s audio performance is boosted by the new Apple H3 chip, which fundamentally reimagines how headphones process sound. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) has also been redesigned to respond instantly to changes in your environment, while Transparency Mode more naturally blends external sounds with your music, so you feel connected to your surroundings without losing clarity in your tracks or calls.

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the AirPods Pro 3 is their commitment to lossless wireless playback, which delivers high-resolution audio that was previously impossible over Bluetooth. Combined with spatial audio that tracks your head movements even more accurately, the AirPods Pro 3 could offer the richest, most immersive sound Apple has ever created in an in-ear headphone.

Health functions

Apple is also putting some effort into the health category with these headphones. Thanks to built-in sensors, the AirPods Pro 3 will track heart rate and temperature, providing health data without having to wear a watch.

Another feature is real-time translation support, which is rumored to be coming to iOS 26. Imagine traveling abroad and your AirPods instantly translating conversations, turning them into both an entertainment device and a travel essential.

Connectivity and autonomy

AirPods Pro 3 make syncing and everyday use easier than ever. With one-touch pairing right on the case, you don’t have to fiddle with buttons anymore. The switch to USB-C charging brings AirPods Pro 3 into the broader Apple ecosystem, while Bluetooth 5.4 and an updated UWB chip make connections faster and more stable.

This also ensures that lost headphones can be tracked more accurately with Find My. AirPods Pro 3 have a battery life of about 8 hours on a single charge, and the protective case adds another 30 hours. The headphones support fast charging, so just a few minutes of power will be enough to get another hour of playback.
