The 3rd-generation AirPods, launched in October 2021, bring a refreshed design with shorter stems and contoured tips for a more secure and comfortable fit.
They feature the H1 chip and Bluetooth 5.0 for instant pairing with Apple devices and seamless switching via iCloud.
Personalized Spatial Audio with head tracking delivers immersive spatial sound, while Adaptive EQ automatically tunes audio to your ear shape.
The force sensor on the stem allows play/pause, skip, call control, and Siri activation with a simple press.
With an IPX4 sweat and water-resistant rating, they’re suitable for active use and everyday wear.
Battery life is impressive: up to 6 hours per earbud and 30 hours total with the MagSafe case. Quick charge gives you 1 hour of playback after only 5 minutes.
The case supports MagSafe and Qi wireless charging as well as Lightning, offering versatile charging options.
Although they lack active noise cancellation, AirPods 3 deliver balanced audio, solid bass, and HD voice quality—ideal for music, online learning, and calls.
