AirPods 3 are not equipped with advanced features such as active noise cancellation (ANC) or transparency mode like the AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. However, Apple emphasizes the ability to play Spatial Audio surround sound, and supports Dolby Atmos technology that allows users to feel ambient sound more vividly when listening to music and watching movies. In addition, the new AirPods 3 are equipped with new custom Apple drivers, which can provide deeper bass and clearer sound, which is expected to give users a better experience than the previous generation headphones.
In addition, AirPods 3 also supports AAC-ELD voice coding, helping users communicate clearly and naturally for FaceTime calls with relatives and friends. In addition, this new headset model also supports Adaptive EQ, which can automatically adjust the sound in real time based on how tight the AirPods fit to the user's ear. Not only that, Apple also equips IPX4 sweat and water resistance for both headphones and charging cases. Therefore, even when users use headphones when practicing sports, jogging without worrying about the sound quality or durability of the headphones.
