AirPods Pro 3 are excellent earbuds — they have great noise-cancelling technology, call quality and battery life. And, most importantly, they’re comfortable. The buds also have advanced on-ear controls, including swiping on each ear stem to adjust volume.
A special feature is the built-in heart rate sensors in each earbud, meaning you can start a workout from your iPhone and track your heart rate, GPS and calories burned with just your AirPods Pro 3 and your phone — no separate fitness tracker required.
They come with five ear-tip sizes, which more than most brands and can help you get a more comfortable fit for your ears.
If you can’t stand the feel of rubber ear-tips clogging your ears, consider Apple AirPods 4 ANC instead, which are 34% off right now. While they can’t match the quality of AirPods Pro, they are still excellent earbuds, and they leave your ears mostly open because they don’t have rubber ear-tips. You can read more in my Apple AirPods 4 ANC review.
