Apple AirPods 3 at the best price?
Headphones that will appeal to anti-intra
Apple chooses for the third generation of its AirPods to remain on the button format. There is therefore no silicone tip, and do not offer passive insulation or active noise reduction as on the Pro models. However, they manage to be comfortable to wear and are easily positioned in the ear. And if you’re still reluctant to have in-ear headphones, these headphones should please you.
This generation borrows a lot from the Pro models, especially at the level of the stems, which are 33% shorter than those of the AirPods 2. And as always, the latter will integrate perfectly with the ecosystem of Apple. They simply and quickly pair to your iPhone, or any other Apple product — the magic happens. For Android smartphone owners, AirPods are compatible, however, most features are not available with this type of device.
A more advanced version
The AirPods 3 may seem like a minor evolution, yet they are much more advanced than the AirPods 2 launched in 2019. Their open-fit format does not allow them to offer good passive isolation or active noise reduction, but the sound is assured thanks to the presence of new transducers. The sound quality is appreciable compared to competitors, but the notable addition is compatibility with Spatial Audio technology. The latter offers a much richer and more immersive sound experience, offering Dolby Atmos sound, but also having surround sound monitoring if you turn your head.
Another strong point and not the least: it is autonomy. The manufacturer wanted to improve it on this model, making the AirPods 3 one of the most enduring models on the market. Apple has boosted talk time to four hours. Above all, for music playback, the AirPods 3 can work for six hours. As for the charging box, it allows you to enjoy a total of 30 hours of listening time, compared to 24 hours for the three previous models. It will only take 5 minutes for 1 hour of listening. Note that they also benefit from resistance to water and perspiration thanks to its IPX4 certification.
