Apple AirPods Pro 3
The best earbuds for iPhone users — hearing aid mode, heart rate sensing, and the deepest Apple ecosystem integration.
Our Review
The AirPods Pro 3 aren't just earbuds — they're health devices. Built-in heart rate sensors track your pulse during workouts, and the FDA-cleared Hearing Aid mode can amplify ambient sound for users with mild hearing loss. Noise cancellation has been significantly improved over the Pro 2, and Adaptive Audio automatically blends ANC and transparency based on your environment. Five ear tip sizes ensure a good fit, and spatial audio with head tracking creates an immersive listening experience. If you own an iPhone, these are the earbuds to get — nothing else integrates as deeply with iOS.
