The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/22177494\/apple-airpods-max-headphones-review-price-features\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AirPods Max<\/a>, meanwhile, continue to be the company\u2019s only set of over-ears.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Priced at $249, the new AirPods Pro 3 push into fitness territory with a built-in heart rate sensor to track calories burned and over 50 types of workouts via the iPhone\u2019s Fitness app. They also introduce Workout Buddy, a new fitness experience that delivers personalized insights based on your workout history and achievements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Beyond fitness, Apple has introduced a real-time live translation feature. On the audio front, Apple claims the buds offer improved sound and twice the active noise cancellation (ANC) than their predecessor, thanks to new foam-infused ear tips that should block out noise more effectively (though we\u2019ve yet to put them to the test). The redesigned ear tips themselves are now smaller for improved fit and stability, come in a new fifth XXS size, and boast an upgraded IP57 sweat and water resistance rating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">They\u2019re all exciting upgrades, especially if you prioritize fitness or simply want the most versatile Apple earbuds. But if you don\u2019t need every new feature, the rest of the lineup still includes excellent \u2014 and far more affordable \u2014 options. And even though Apple no longer sells the second-gen AirPods Pro directly, you can also still find them at third-party retailers like Amazon for less.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">If you\u2019re struggling to decide whether the new AirPods Pro 3 are worth grabbing, we\u2019re here to help. We\u2019ve put together a detailed breakdown of the specs and features below so you can quickly see which pair of AirPods makes the most sense for your lifestyle and budget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With their debut, the official AirPods lineup now looks a little different: the fourth-gen AirPods and their ANC&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":218009,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[239,705,26384,242,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-218008","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-gadgets","10":"tag-headphones","11":"tag-tech","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115185372747423746","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218008","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218008"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218008\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218008"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218008"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
