Apple's all-new AirPods Pro 3 are here - but how do they stack up against the last-gen AirPods Pro 2? In this in-depth comparison, I cover everything new and different between the two models to help you decide if it's worth the upgrade.Shop ESR Cyber FlickLock Magnetic Case for AirPods Pro 3: https://amzn.to/4mhej0oShop ESR Orbit Hybrid Magnetic Case: https://amzn.to/3K4Z8daThanks to ESR for sponsoring this video!After 3 years, Apple has finally redesigned the AirPods Pro. The AirPods Pro 3 feature a smaller earbud shape, new foam-infused tips in 5 sizes (XXS-L), and a better IP57 durability rating. The case is also updated with a sleeker design, hidden LED, and the new U2 ultrawideband chip for more precise tracking.The biggest upgrade? Heart rate monitoring. AirPods Pro 3 can track workouts and calories directly, even without an Apple Watch. Audio also gets an improvement thanks to a rebuilt acoustic system—bringing deeper bass, wider soundstage, and better ANC that's twice as effective as AirPods Pro 2.But not everything is an upgrade—battery life is now 8 hours per charge, but the case total drops from 30 hours to 24. Both generations share features like live translation, hearing test/protection, and hearing aid mode.So—should you upgrade to AirPods Pro 3, or stick with AirPods Pro 2?
