Video Description

Apple says the new AirPods Pro 3 have quote “The world’s best in‑ear Active Noise Cancellation” end quote. They also sound better, the fit is different, they even have a heart rate sensor. But how much is just marketing hype? I’ve tested hundreds of earbuds and so in this video, we will go through the results of my rigorous testing to find out just how good the new Apple AirPods 3 actually are. I have been listening to these nonstop since I got them and I have a lot to share in this video. The ANC is certainly really good, but I will share my test results and explain where they excel and where they fall short. We will also get into a microphone test in several environments, I’ll analyze the sound quality, we will take a look at some new features, and in case you haven’t seen my channel before, we will definitely get into a heart rate test to see if these things are even accurate or useful for workouts. These are without a doubt the best AirPods I have ever tested, but let’s get started with the biggest claim - the ANC. Follow me on social media!
