Cupertino, September 9, 2025 — Apple has officially lifted the curtain on the AirPods Pro 3 at its highly anticipated “Awe-Dropping” event, introducing a wave of innovative features that take wireless earbuds to an entirely new level.
The AirPods Pro 3 headline feature is what Apple calls the “world’s best” active noise cancellation (ANC), paired with a completely redesigned fit based on over 10,000 3D ear scans. The earbuds now feature foam-infused ear tips for superior comfort and isolation. They’re also built tougher with an IP57 rating, making them more resistant to sweat and water than ever before.
One of the biggest surprises is the live translation tool, which automatically lowers the speaker’s voice and delivers real-time translations directly to the listener — a breakthrough feature for travelers, professionals, and multilingual households.
Apple also tied the new AirPods Pro 3 to the iOS 26 ecosystem, unlocking a suite of powerful extras:
-
Studio-quality audio
-
Improved call clarity
-
Auto-pause while sleeping
-
Charging reminders
-
Ability to double as a camera remote
Adding to the health and fitness front, Engadget reports that the earbuds now include an in-ear heart-rate sensor, opening the door for seamless health monitoring directly from your ears.
Beats Powerbeats Fit Leak Adds to the Buzz
Alongside Apple’s official launch, its sub-brand Beats seems readying its own move. The Powerbeats Fit surfaced in last-minute leaks, revealing longer battery life and fresh color options. While not yet confirmed, the refreshed design is expected to hit shelves later this fall.

With the launch of the AirPods Pro 3, Apple is not just refreshing its audio lineup—it’s redefining what earbuds can do. From live translation to health tracking, the new AirPods blur the line between smart wearables and audio devices.
Meanwhile, the leaked Powerbeats Fit suggests that Apple isn’t stopping at one big audio release this season.
