![]() This is more than 4.5 hours that the AirPods Pro last. These will last around six hours on a single charge with Spatial Audio off. The Apple AirPods 3rd gen is the best in terms of battery stats. We never noticed the previous generation AirPods stumble at this step, but this hardware upgrade could very well give Apple the basis to add health tracking features to the AirPods in the future - it is a rumour that refuses to go away. It is nice that the Apple AirPods 3rd gen sound very similar to the AirPods Pro with Dolby Atmos content on Netflix - and while being the most inexpensive in a line-up that includes the AirPods Pro and AirPods Max, it doesn’t sound any inferior.Īpple has replaced the IR sensor with a new skin detection sensor, and the expectation is it’ll be more accurate in detecting the differences between your ear or the dark corners of your trouser pocket. The Spatial Audio compatibility is a nice add-on to have, considering Apple Music and Apple TV+ have enough content for you to enjoy the directional sound experience. The H1 chip continues to do its bit with real-time Adaptive EQ. To get this from earbuds that have an open design isn’t easy, and we suspect Apple’s focus on computational audio (we’ve seen this with the HomePod Mini too) is reaping rich rewards. It will be as brilliant with podcasts as it will be with a trance music playlist - dialling up what’s needed when it is needed. You’ll immediately recognise the AirPods-esque sound and flexibility. What hasn’t changed is the neutrality of the sound. It is immediately noticeable how much better the bass is and the sound overall has a dollop of dynamism that the previous generation didn’t have. They get the sound signature and the overall fullness very close to the AirPods Pro, while compensating for the ambient noise that will still stream in, to a certain extent. But these do take advantage of new acoustic drivers and amplifier hardware - these aren’t the same as the ones in the AirPods Pro. The Apple AirPods 3rd gen doesn’t get active noise cancellation or a transparency mode. The Apple AirPods 3rd gen do get the wireless charging case with support for the MagSafe wireless charger, if you have that for your Apple iPhone.Īs far as dimensions go, the Apple AirPods 3rd gen case is slightly less wide than the AirPods Pro case.īetter sound with computational audio at work If Apple had introduced the latest AirPods in some additional colour options, that wouldn’t have been exactly out of place.Ī Space Grey or Space Black AirPods would have their own charm. The white colour remains consistent, as it has over the years, with hard plastic that adds to the solidity to the overall build. Perhaps that was needed, because the similarities with the AirPods Pro comes down to even the indents on each earbud’s stem for the pressure sensors for touch commands and IPX4 water resistance.Īlso Read: Apple will soon let you repair your iPhone, Mac at home That is one way for Apple to distinguish within the ever widening line-up as well. The fit will still depend on your ear shape and comfort levels, but we have a feeling the chunkier new design should help these fit larger ear canals better - and stay in place. The only differentiating factor being that the Pros get the silicon eartips whereas these don’t, like their elder sibling. For all intent and purposes, the dimensions and the contours are the same as the more expensive sibling. The Apple AirPods 3rd gen sees the biggest design change, inspired by the more expensive AirPods Pro wireless earbuds. ![]() These 3rd gen AirPods sit snugly in the rather wide sticker price gap, at ₹18,500. With the arrival of these third generation Apple AirPods, the wireless earbuds range for Apple now starts with the AirPods 2nd gen, which are still on sale for ₹12,900 and tops out with the AirPods Pro that have a sticker price of ₹24,900. The understanding being people don’t necessarily upgrade wireless earbuds and headphones every year. In fact, in these five years since, there have been three iterations of Apple AirPods, culminating into this - the third generation. ![]() Since the first generation fit into our ears back in 2016, the AirPods retained the same bud with stem design. ![]() When was the last time the Apple AirPods got a design change? The answer is - never.
