AirPods Pro 3 Expected Release in Early 2025 with Updated Design Features

Apple’s highly anticipated ‘It’s Glowtime’ event, held in September, did not unveil the rumored AirPods Pro 3. However, attendees were introduced to the more budget-friendly AirPods 4 series equipped with the latest H2 chip. This series features a model that includes Active Noise Cancellation similar to the AirPods Pro 2. Disappointment in the absence of a new premium wireless earbud variant was palpable, but eager fans won’t have to wait long: reports suggest that the AirPods Pro 3 will arrive in early 2025. So far, all we know is that there will be a refreshed design.

Early Speculation Points to Enhanced Noise Cancellation for AirPods Pro 3

Insider information revealed by Mark Gurman in his ‘Power On’ newsletter, which was highlighted by the French media outlet Consomac, predicts a launch timeframe for the AirPods Pro 3 in early 2025. While specific release dates are lacking, the term ‘early’ indicates we might see the new model unveiled in the first quarter of the year. It is anticipated that the new earbuds will be packaged with the same USB-C wireless charging case featured with the current AirPods Pro 2, enhancing user convenience by eliminating the need for a Lightning cable while charging.

The current report falls short regarding extensive details about the AirPods Pro 3. Specification-wise, aside from an updated design, information remains scarce. Nonetheless, sources suggest that the new model is expected to provide improved Active Noise Cancellation compared to the AirPods Pro 2. While some readers may consider this assertion vague, it’s worth noting that the AirPods Pro 2 were marketed by Apple to deliver “up to” the same level of Active Noise Cancellation as the original AirPods Pro, a capability made possible by the custom H2 chip.

There’s speculation that the AirPods Pro 3 could use the H3 chip, though this remains unconfirmed, especially since reliable insiders like Gurman have yet to confirm detailed specifications. We encourage our readers to remain patient, and rest assured that further updates will be shared as they become available. Priced at $189.99, the current models are a compelling choice for those who wish to enjoy high-quality audio without committing to more expensive headphone options.
