AirPods Pro 3: More Than Just Headphones

Headphones, as a sound receiving tool, originated in the early 20th century. Initially, they were professional devices for communication, later evolving into personal music tools. Today, they are gradually transforming into multifunctional devices, integrating hearing, perception, and interaction, and increasingly integrating into our daily lives, becoming an indispensable smart accessory. 

Daily commute

During our commutes, we are often annoyed by various noises, making it difficult to concentrate. Wearing headphones, however, risks missing important sounds. AirPods Pro 3 allows you to switch between the two.

AirPods Pro 3 combines active noise cancellation with adaptive transparency. The principle of active noise cancellation is not to eliminate noise, but to cancel it out. The microphone listens to the outside sound in real time, and the chip analyzes the frequency and waveform of the noise. At this time, the earphone emits a sound with opposite phase. The two sounds cancel each other out in the ear, and the noise is naturally eliminated or reduced. This function is most effective for continuous and regular noise. The sound of the subway during commuting is the best example.

Wearing headphones doesn't mean blocking out all sound. This is where the Adaptive Transparency feature of AirPods Pro 3 comes in. Transparency mode allows necessary sounds to pass through the microphone to your ears, adjusting the frequency in real time for different sounds, and responding more quickly to the messages you need to receive, such as the voices of your colleagues communicating with you in the office.

AirPods Pro 3 helps you switch freely between a world of blocking out and a world of receiving.

Work & Study

In work and study, the functions of AirPods Pro 3 become even more important.

When in meetings or making work calls, you don't need to deliberately seek out a quiet environment. AirPods Pro 3 can help isolate ambient noise, ensuring you're not disturbed by other sounds while receiving audio, thus improving your work efficiency. The directional sound pickup feature of AirPods Pro 3 also allows your voice to be captured immediately, suppressing other noises. Multiple microphones work together to intelligently determine the direction and source of your sound, easily picking up your voice without shouting. Even in noisy environments, AirPods Pro 3 ensures your voice is clear, prioritizing your audio needs.

In addition, the real-time translation feature of AirPods Pro 3 can provide even more assistance for your work and study. This real-time translation function is a cross-language feature achieved through collaboration between AirPods Pro 3 and the iPhone. When you speak a sentence in your own language, AirPods Pro 3 will translate it in real time and relay it to the other person. The other person's words will also be translated into your language in real time via AirPods Pro 3, and the translated text will be displayed in two ways: as audio and as text on your iPhone. Whether you are making a business call or attending a class as an international student, it can help you conduct smoother cross-language communication.

Health & Exercise

The AirPods Pro 3 introduces a heart rate sensor and activity tracking for the first time, transforming it from an auditory device into your fitness assistant.

The AirPods Pro 3 features a built-in PPG heart rate sensor that emits invisible red light at a very high frequency onto the skin inside your ear, inferring your heart rate rhythm through light reflection. During exercise, the AirPods Pro 3 monitors your heart rate in real time and sends it to your iPhone. It then uses your heart rate and movement data to calculate your calorie expenditure. After each workout, it provides a clear and intuitive feedback on your heart rate changes and calorie consumption. Furthermore, you can directly ask Siri for your heart rate without needing an app, allowing you to quickly track your workout progress. Of course, dustproof, sweatproof, and waterproof features, along with a more comfortable wearing design, ensure that you don't have to worry about the condition of the earbuds during exercise, preventing any discomfort and allowing you to focus on your workout.

Leisure and entertainment

In terms of interactive features, AirPods Pro 3 is impeccable.
