Our Verdict

Apple AirPods (3rd generation)

Apple AirPods Pro 3

The Apple AirPods Pro 3 are better than the Apple AirPods (3rd generation). Despite sharing the number '3,' these earbuds are separated by generational differences and tiers. The AirPods Pro 3 have ear tips to create a better isolating fit that's more stable, too. They include updated iOS features like Live Translation, upgraded 'Find My' device tracking, and a fuller sound profile. The AirPods (3rd generation) are simpler, unsealed earbuds that still integrate well with iOS devices, but they don't give you the option of noise cancellation. Still, they're a less expensive way to access Siri and Spatial Audio.
