The AirPods Pro 3 have plenty of new features when it comes to sound quality, noise reduction, and more. But more importantly to this site, are all of the sports and fitness features they’ve added. This includes adding heart rate sensing to the tiny little buds in order to measure your heart rate, along with a new feature in the Apple Fitness app to record your workout (including GPS data from your phone), as well as the ability to have Apple’s new Apple Intelligence-enabled Workout Buddy feature.
Note that Apple has provided a loaner set of AirPods Pro 3’s, though I’ve already ordered my own. Heck, setting aside any fitness aspects, I just want them for the vastly improved noise cancellation. At someone that spends a ton of time on airplanes, that alone is worth it for me. In any case, once I’m done with these, they’ll go back to Apple.
