Design & Comfort

The AirPods 3rd Generation feature a redesigned contoured shape with shorter stems compared with AirPods 2.

They retain Apple’s open-fit design, meaning there are no silicone ear tips. This makes them suitable for users who prefer the traditional AirPods fit while wanting several audio technologies introduced with newer AirPods generations.

Their compact and lightweight construction makes them convenient for music, calls, entertainment, commuting, workouts, and everyday use.

Apple H1 Headphone Chip

AirPods 3 are powered by Apple’s H1 headphone chip, which manages wireless connectivity, audio processing, Siri functionality, and several intelligent features.

The H1 chip provides seamless pairing with compatible Apple devices and supports hands-free “Hey Siri” functionality.

Users can access Siri to play music, adjust volume, make calls, get directions, and perform other supported actions.

Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking

One of the major upgrades of AirPods 3 is Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking.

With compatible content and Apple devices, Spatial Audio creates a more immersive sound experience by positioning supported audio around the listener.

Dynamic Head Tracking adjusts the sound field according to the movement of the user’s head, providing a more immersive experience for compatible music, movies, TV shows, and other content.

Adaptive EQ

The Adaptive EQ feature automatically adjusts sound according to how the AirPods fit in the user’s ears.

An inward-facing microphone monitors the sound reaching the listener and allows the system to adjust low and mid-range frequencies.

This helps provide a more consistent listening experience despite differences in individual ear shape and fit.

Audio Performance

AirPods 3 use a custom high-excursion Apple driver together with a custom high dynamic range amplifier.

This audio system is designed to provide clear highs and controlled bass while maintaining balanced everyday audio performance.

The AirPods are suitable for music, podcasts, movies, calls, online meetings, and other everyday audio content.

Skin-Detect Sensors

AirPods 3 introduced skin-detect sensors, allowing the earbuds to more accurately determine whether they are being worn.

When an AirPod is removed from the ear, supported audio can automatically pause. Playback can resume when the AirPod is placed back in the ear.

The sensors are designed to distinguish between being inside the ear and being placed on another surface.

Force Sensor Controls

A force sensor on the stem provides convenient physical controls.

Users can press the stem to control supported playback and calls without needing to take out their connected device.

This provides more precise physical interaction than relying entirely on touch gestures.

Calls & Microphones

AirPods 3 feature dual beamforming microphones and an inward-facing microphone.

The microphones work with Apple’s audio-processing technologies to provide voice capture for phone calls, FaceTime, online meetings, Siri, and other supported applications.

They also include a speech-detecting accelerometer for additional voice detection.

Battery Life

AirPods 3 provide up to 6 hours of listening time on a single charge, or up to 5 hours when Spatial Audio is enabled.

They provide up to 4 hours of talk time on a single charge.

Combined with the MagSafe Charging Case, users can get up to 30 hours of total listening time or up to 20 hours of talk time.

A quick 5-minute charge in the case provides around 1 hour of listening time or approximately 1 hour of talk time.

Actual battery performance varies depending on battery condition, settings, volume, environment, and usage.

MagSafe Charging Case

This version comes specifically with Apple’s MagSafe Charging Case.

The case supports multiple charging methods:

• MagSafe Charger
• Qi-Certified Wireless Charger
• Lightning Connector

MagSafe provides magnetic alignment when the case is placed on a compatible MagSafe charger.

This distinguishes it from the later AirPods 3 configuration sold with a Lightning Charging Case, which does not provide MagSafe or Qi wireless charging.

Sweat & Water Resistance

Both the AirPods 3 earbuds and the MagSafe Charging Case carry an IPX4 sweat and water resistance rating.

This makes them suitable for exercise and non-water sports where they may be exposed to light sweat or splashes.

They are not waterproof and should not be submerged or used while swimming. Sweat and water resistance can also decrease with normal wear.

Connectivity & Apple Ecosystem

AirPods 3 use Bluetooth 5.0 wireless technology.

They integrate with compatible iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV devices and provide Apple’s convenient pairing experience.

They can also connect to compatible Android phones, Windows computers, and other Bluetooth devices, although certain Apple-specific features may not be available.

Open Box Condition

The Apple AirPods (3rd Generation) with MagSafe Charging Case are available in Open Box condition.

Open Box AirPods provide an option for customers who want genuine Apple wireless earbuds at a more affordable price compared with purchasing a new sealed unit. Cosmetic condition, battery performance, and included accessories can vary depending on the individual unit.

Everyday Experience

The AirPods 3 are a significant upgrade over AirPods 2 for users who prefer Apple’s open-fit earbud design.

The combination of Spatial Audio, Dynamic Head Tracking, Adaptive EQ, H1 chip, skin-detect sensors, Force Sensor controls, IPX4 resistance, up to 6 hours of listening time, and up to 30 hours with the MagSafe Charging Case makes them a versatile choice for everyday wireless audio.
