ZDNET’s key takeaways
- The AirPods Pro 3 bring several design updates and a bunch of new or upgraded capabilities to a product that was already among the best headphones.
- Apple kept the retail price at $249, and this product tends to get discounted during holiday sales.
- AirPods Pro 3’s leading feature is active noise cancellation that now rivals over-the-ear headphones, which surprised me in real-world testing.
