Apple’s best new product in years is unexpectedly controversial


Apple says it studied more than 10,000 ear scans to redesign the AirPods Pro 3 for a better seal and more stable fit. — Apple

I know the new iPhones get most of the attention each fall, but I think I can make a case that AirPods Pro 3 might be Apple’s best new product in years. I don’t say that lightly, especially since the previous version was pretty close to perfect. And yet, somehow Apple made them better in basically every way. The new models get a built-in heart-rate monitor, improved noise cancellation, and better transparency mode.

After using them for a month, they are easily my favourite pair of earbuds. The active noise cancellation is objectively impressive. I thought the feature was already very good on AirPods Pro 2, but somehow they managed to block out even more sound. And I prefer the overall sound of version 3, finding it more balanced and natural-sounding.
