Le AirPods Pro 3 Next-Gen, expected to launch in September 2025, is set to elevate the wireless earbud experience with cutting-edge health features, enhanced noise cancellation, and superior performance. Poised to debut alongside the iPhone 17 and Apple Watch Series 11 at Apple’s annual fall event, the AirPods Pro 3 promise to build on the success of the AirPods Pro 2, which introduced USB-C charging and hearing aid functionality. With rumors of heart rate monitoring, a new H3 chip, and improved Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), the AirPods Pro 3 are generating buzz among tech enthusiasts and audiophiles. As Birmingham Tech Week 2025 (October 20-24) spotlights wearable innovation, this blog explores how the AirPods Pro 3 will redefine audio technology.
A Legacy of Audio Innovation
Since their debut in 2019, the AirPods Pro have set the standard for premium wireless earbuds, blending seamless Apple ecosystem integration with advanced audio features. The AirPods Pro 2, launched in 2022 and updated with USB-C in 2023, introduced the H2 chip, lossless audio for Vision Pro, and hearing aid capabilities via iOS 18.1. The AirPods Pro 3, expected on September 9, 2025, at Apple’s Cupertino event, aim to push these boundaries further, addressing user demands for better ANC, health tracking, and battery life. With Apple’s wearables category outperforming its Mac and iPad sales in Q1 2025, the AirPods Pro 3 are crucial to maintaining Apple’s dominance in the true wireless stereo (TWS) market, projected to grow 3% year-over-year in 2025.
Advanced Features and Design
The AirPods Pro 3 are expected to retain the iconic white, rounded-square case and stemmed earbud design, with potential refinements like a smaller case and slimmer stems for comfort. The charging case may replace the physical pairing button with a capacitive touch control, similar to the AirPods 4, and feature a hidden LED for a sleeker look. The earbuds will likely maintain their IP54 dust, sweat, and water resistance, ideal for workouts and outdoor use.
A new H3 chip will power the AirPods Pro 3 Next-Gen, offering faster processing for improved ANC, Adaptive Transparency, and audio performance. Rumors suggest “much better” ANC compared to the AirPods Pro 2, potentially rivaling competitors like Sony’s WF-1000XM5 and Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds. Features like Voice Isolation, which minimizes background noise during calls, and a camera remote function for iPhone video recording will carry over from the AirPods 4, enhanced by the H3 chip’s capabilities.
Health monitoring is a major focus, with heart rate monitoring and body temperature sensing rumored for the AirPods Pro 3. Heart rate tracking could make fitness data more accessible without an Apple Watch, while in-ear temperature sensing may offer greater accuracy than wrist-based measurements. These features build on the AirPods Pro 2’s hearing aid functionality, registered with the FDA, and integrate with the iPhone’s Health app.
Audio and Performance Enhancements
The AirPods Pro 3 will likely feature a refined frequency response, emphasizing richer bass and clearer mids compared to the AirPods Pro 2, which improved sub-bass delivery. Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking will remain, creating a 3D listening experience for music, movies, and games. The H3 chip may enable lossless audio support beyond Vision Pro, potentially for iPhones and iPads, addressing a key user demand.
Battery life is expected to match the AirPods Pro 2’s 6 hours per charge (5.5 with Spatial Audio) and 30 hours with the case, though improvements in power efficiency could extend this slightly. The case will support USB-C, Apple Watch, and Qi wireless charging, with a speaker for Find My functionality. Bluetooth 5.3 ensures stable connectivity and automatic device switching within the Apple ecosystem.
Health and Accessibility Features
The AirPods Pro 3 will expand on the AirPods Pro 2’s hearing aid capabilities, supporting users with mild to moderate hearing loss via iOS 18 or later. Heart rate monitoring, if included, will leverage the earbuds’ proximity to blood vessels for accurate readings, while temperature sensing could aid in health tracking, such as detecting fever. These features align with Apple’s focus on health innovation, as seen in the AirPods Pro 2’s Hearing Test and Hearing Protection features.
A potential live translation feature via Apple’s Translate app and iOS 19 could make the AirPods Pro 3 Next-Gen a game-changer for travelers, offering real-time language translation during conversations. The earbuds will also support Siri Interactions, allowing users to answer calls with head gestures, enhancing accessibility.
