AirPods Pro 3 offer live translation and improved noise cancellation

Today's Apple event isn't just about iPhones and smartwatches. The company also announced the long-anticipated refresh of the AirPods Pro earbuds. The AirPods Pro 3 arrive a full three years after the company released the second-gen earbuds.

This is a serious upgrade with updated audio drivers and plenty of high-tech bells whistles, like active ANC and the ability to play spatial audio. Apple says these earbuds offer the best ANC of any in-ear headphones.

There's also a new live language translation feature, which is something that Pixel Buds have been doing for a while. Here's hoping this eventually shows up in Apple's lower-priced earbuds. As for the physical design, everything looks mostly the same. They do look a bit smaller though.

This is a developing story. This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/audio/headphones/airpods-pro-3-offer-live-translation-and-improved-noise-cancellation-171018061.html?src=rss
