As foretold by numerous leaks, Apple has released a new AirPods Pro model. The AirPods Pro 3 offer some new features, most of which have been around in competitor’s offerings, and even Apple’s own lineup. Live translation finally comes to AirPods, and now, it even shows transcribed text on your iPhone.

Two users wearing the AirPods Pro 3 can hear each other’s words in real-time. Currently, the feature is available in English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish. Support for  Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese will arrive later this year. 

Apple has also included a heart rate sensor on the AirPods Pro 3, something we’ve seen earlier on the Powerbeats Pro 2. That, combined with some AI chicanery, allows it to track up to 50 different workouts, track calories and close rings, all without an Apple Watch. 

Apple claims the AirPods Pro 3 has the, “world’s best ANC of any in-ear wireless headphones” with a 2x improvement over the AirPods Pro 2 and 4x over the AirPods Pro. With ANC enabled and music playing, the AirPods Pro 3 will last up to eight outs on a single charge. 

Lastly, the AirPods Pro 3 have also received a minor redesign, allowing it to fit snugly in more years. The packaging even comes with an XXS eartips for users with smaller ears. It also comes with IP57 water and dust resistance for better endurance. 

The Apple AirPods Pro 3 will hit shelves on September 19 starting at $249.
