Apple has taken the wraps off its latest wireless earbuds, the AirPods Pro 3, and they come with one killer new feature: live translation. Priced at $249, the new model aims to solidify its place as the go-to earbud for iPhone users, but is it worth the upgrade?
The headline feature is undoubtedly the real-time translation. This allows you to hear a translated version of a conversation with someone speaking another language, making it an incredibly powerful tool for travel and communication. If you frequently interact with people in other languages, this feature alone could make the upgrade compelling.
Beyond translation, the AirPods Pro 3 offer other refinements. Apple has boosted the noise cancellation technology, promising an even more immersive and quiet listening experience. The company is also including five different sizes of adjustable earpieces in the box, making it easier for users to find a comfortable and secure fit.
If your current AirPods are working fine and you don’t need live translation, you may not need to rush out and buy these. However, for frequent travelers or those seeking the best possible noise cancellation and fit in Apple’s lineup, the AirPods Pro 3 present a strong case for an upgrade when they launch on September 19.
