The overall consensus right now is that the AirPods Pro 3 are some of the best, if not the best wireless earbuds money can buy. New health features, real-time AI language translation, and an uptick in both active noise cancellation and battery life are all hallmarks that have earned these buds critical acclaim. Our reviewers at Tom’s Guide also like their boosted voice calling and ergonomic design, which our fitness editor, Jane McGuire, found “a lot more comfortable” and “snug” than previous entries.
All virtues aside, the AirPods Pro 3 don’t feel like a major upgrade from the AirPods Pro 2. There are substantial omissions from this flagship release. I’m not just talking about a missing USB-C cable. You read that correctly – no charging cable comes with the purchase.
