Apple’s most impressive wireless earbuds are now available to preorder from Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target for $249. The new AirPods Pro 3 won’t arrive until September 19th, but you can place your order from the retailer of your choice, then be among the first to dig into their premium features on launch day.
We’ve gone into detail about how the AirPods Pro 3 stack up against the rest of Apple’s AirPods lineup of earbuds and over-ear headphones in our comparison guide. The most notable change is a new built-in heart rate sensor that lets iPhone owners track calories burned and track progress in over 50 types of workouts from the Fitness app. Also of note, Apple claims that the new buds can deliver ANC that’s twice as effective as the last-gen model, while battery life has increased. But there are more features beyond improved bass and better active noise cancellation.
The buds’ case is a little lighter, and there’s a fifth ear tip option in the box (XXS) for a more secure, comfortable fit for those with tiny outer ears. To top it off, they feature an improved IP57 rating for dust and water (and sweat) resistance.
We’ll be publishing our full review of the AirPods Pro 3 as soon as we can, so stay tuned. In the meantime, be sure to check out our coverage if you’re also looking to preorder the new iPhones or new Apple Watches.
