The new Apple AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro may look similar but they have several different features and price points.
Apple now has several different AirPods to choose from. But which is the best, the Apple AirPods 3 vs AirPods Pro (2019)?
Once upon a time, the gap between the original Apple AirPods vs AirPods Pro was massive. The Pro version has noise cancellation, water resistance, custom ear tips, adaptive EQ, wider soundstage and support for spatial audio, making them some of the best true wireless earbuds. But the regular AirPods had none of those things.
But the arrival of the AirPods 3 fixed nearly all of those problems, and the models are now at a more even parity and two of the best Apple headphones you can buy.
These days, there are only four rather than a dozen differences between the two styles of AirPods. In some ways, this makes deciding which one is right for you easier than ever. But the choice depends on you and your preferences. So for an in-depth look at both products, check out our full Apple AirPods 3 review and AirPods Pro (2019) review.
Also consider reading our AirPods Pro 2 review, the newly-launched Pro earbuds from Apple that have many similarities between the AirPods Pro (2019) but do deliver some big upgrades in terms of both functionality and audio performance.
For now, we’ve broken down the key differences between the two true wireless earbuds below to help you understand which model you should buy, the Apple AirPods 3 vs AirPods Pro (2019).
You’d opt for the AirPods Pro over the AirPods 3 because the Pro has built-in active noise cancellation.
