Earlier this month, Apple announced the AirPods Max 2, a pair of over-ear headphones that leverage the companyโs H2 chip for AI-powered live translation, conversation awareness, and a host of newer features. However, if youโre okay with a pair of earbuds, the AirPods Pro 3 offer access to all the same features for less โ especially given theyโre on sale at Amazon and Walmart for $199 ($50 off) as part of Amazonโs Big Spring Sale, matching their second-best price to date.
For iPhone owners, nothing else really compares to the AirPods Pro 3. Appleโs latest pair of premium earbuds deliver the best active noise cancellation and richest sound of any AirPods model to date, combined with a more comfortable, angled design that fits securely and naturally in your ear canal. They also feature a new XXS ear tip size and a more robust IP57 rating for sweat and water resistance, making them better suited for long-distance runs and various gym activities.
Speaking of workouts, the Pro 3 can also pull double duty as a fitness tracker, thanks to a built-in heart rate sensor that works with Appleโs Fitness app to track calories burned across more than 50 workout types. Itโs a welcome addition if you donโt use an Apple Watch; however, it may not be as useful for those who already own and rely on Appleโs wearable for its health tracking and wellness features.
Lastly, as mentioned up top, the AirPods Pro 3 also boast an H2 chip, allowing for the aforementioned real-time translation features and Appleโs newer Voice Isolation tech, which uses machine learning to isolate and enhance voice quality by removing unwanted background noise. Thatโs on top of their seamless integration with other Apple devices, mind you, which lets you take advantage of automatic device switching and a Find My-compatible charging case.
