Apple Airpods 3
Apple Airpods 3 has a new design similar to the AirPods Pro, and also supports spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, longer battery life, and also comes with Adaptive EQ powered by computational audio. There are new force sensor controls for easy and intuitive control of music and phone calls, and it also supports wireless charging.
The AirPods 3 has a custom driver and a high dynamic range amplifier, and a microphone that can be covered by an acoustic mesh to help reduce the sound of the wind. AirPods also has AAC-ELD, a superior speech codec that promises full HD voice quality for clear, natural communication for FaceTime calls. The beam-forming microphones block out ambient noise and focus on the user’s voice.
All-new design
AirPods are lightweight and offer a contoured design and sit at just the right angle for comfort and to better direct audio to your ear. The stem is 33 percent shorter than AirPods (2nd generation) and includes a force sensor to easily control music and calls.
Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking
Sound is all around you to create an immersive, three-dimensional listening experience for music, TV shows, and movies. Gyroscopes and accelerometers in AirPods work together to track your head movements — so it sounds like you’re in the centre of songs and scenes.
Adaptive EQ
Music automatically tunes to suit the shape of your ear. Inward-facing microphones detect what you’re hearing, then adjust low- and mid-range frequencies to deliver the rich details in every song.
Longer battery life
AirPods 3 has an extra hour of battery life compared with AirPods 2 for 6 hours of listening time and 4 hours of talk time. Just 5 minutes of charge, there is up to an hour of listening or talk time.
Sweat and water resistant
Both AirPods 3 and the MagSafe Charging Case are rated IPX4 water resistant — so they’ll withstand anything from rain to heavy workouts.
Magical in every way
Setup is effortless — pull them out of the case and they’re ready to use. Automatically switch between your Apple devices. In-ear detection knows the difference between your ear and other surfaces. Announce Notifications with Siri give the option to have Siri read notifications through the AirPods 3. Audio Sharing, makes it easier for a friend to share a song or show between any two sets of AirPods.
