Apple introduces Airpods Pro 3, offering instant language translation in real-time
Apple has unveiled the latest addition to its popular AirPods line, the AirPods Pro 3. The new earphones are designed with improved features for workout durability and communication, as well as expanded hearing health features.
Durability for Workouts
The AirPods Pro 3 boast an IP57 sweat and water resistance rating, making them suitable for workout use. This means they can withstand sweat and water splashes, ensuring they remain functional even during intense workouts.
Better Fit for Comfort
Apple has expanded the range of available ear tip sizes to five, including a new XXS option. This move aims to provide a better fit for a wider range of users, enhancing comfort during prolonged use.
Live Translation Feature
The AirPods Pro 3 come with a live translation feature, initially supporting English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish. This feature allows users to automatically interpret conversations in nine languages during face-to-face conversations. However, it's important to note that this feature is currently not available in Germany and other EU countries due to Apple restricting this function in the EU for reasons likely related to data protection regulations.
Noise Cancellation and Battery Life
The enhanced noise cancellation feature of the AirPods Pro 3 uses ultra-low noise microphones, advanced computational audio, and new foam-infused ear tips. This results in the world's best Active Noise Cancellation of any in-ear wireless headphones, removing up to twice as much noise as the previous AirPods Pro generation and four times more than the original AirPods Pro.
The AirPods Pro 3 also offer extended battery life. With active noise cancellation enabled, they provide up to eight hours of music playback, representing a 33% increase over the previous generation. In Transparency mode, battery life reaches up to 10 hours, representing a 67% improvement.
Hearing Health Features
The AirPods Pro 3 expand Apple's hearing health features. They now include Hearing Protection, available to EU and UK users, a scientifically validated Hearing Test, and automatic Conversation Boost for hearing aid users in loud environments.
Environmental Considerations
The AirPods Pro 3 are manufactured with 40% recycled content and 40% renewable electricity across the supply chain. This commitment to sustainability reflects Apple's ongoing efforts to reduce its environmental impact.
Availability and Pricing
The AirPods Pro 3 are available for pre-order in the US and more than 50 other countries and regions, with availability in stores beginning September 19. They are priced at US$249.
In conclusion, the AirPods Pro 3 represent a significant leap forward in terms of durability, comfort, and communication features. With their enhanced noise cancellation, extended battery life, and live translation capability, they are set to redefine the in-ear wireless headphone market. Additionally, their commitment to hearing health and sustainability further solidifies Apple's position as a leader in innovative technology.
