1. MagSafe case of charging for Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)

The third generation of AirPods Apple has introduced a fresh design and style for AirPods with a design that draws design cues from previous models like the AirPods Pro. The earpieces' stems are longer, and there's now an option to force-touch the earpieces for control, like the AirPods Pro headset. But unlike the Pro with its ear tips made of silicone for more secure and quiet fitting AirPods (3rd Gen), AirPods (3rd Generation) feature identical earpieces for the outside that the first AirPods.

AirPods' (3rd Gen)'s ears are also more significant than those found on the other AirPods and feature larger grilles. In the end, the design will be more secure than AirPods (2nd Gen). AirPods (2nd Generation) isn't as safe and quiet as AirPods Pro.

I could hear ambient sounds when I was wearing the brand-new AirPods. This is the intention, to allow them to be ideal for outdoor use. It's become the norm for wireless earphones made by Apple to date, and their AirPods (3rd Generation) are only available in white. The charging case and earpieces are IPX4 tested for water resistance and can take light showers of sweat and water.

A significant modification is the introduction of force-touch controls to AirPods (3rd Gen). Contrary to the more precise touch controls that came with the first- and second-gen AirPods, the force-touch feature requires a particular motion similar to pressing a button. Additionally, it is accompanied by feedback that creates the impression that they're mechanical buttons, although they're not.

The controls let you play and play music, pause it, move to the next track or the previous one, take calls, and use Siri through your phone. Although you cannot manage volume directly through headphones, you can utilize Siri or voice commands to alter the book.

The charging case for Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) is more minor and comprehensive. Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) is wider and longer than the 2nd Gen model to fit the new shape of the earpieces better. The Lightning port to charge is located at the bottom, while the button for pairing is situated in the back, while an indicator lamp is located on the front. The case is compatible with Qi wireless charging and MagSafe compatibility with accessories.

Apple continues to use Bluetooth 5 and the AAC Bluetooth codec as the default choice when pairing with Apple sources, though there is SBC Codec Support. The AirPods (3rd Generation) is powered by Apple's H1 chip, which allows rapid pairing and compatibility when paired with different Apple devices. Additionally, an ear-skin detection sensor lets the headset know that it's in your ear to regulate the auto playback and pause features.

The battery life of Apple AirPods (3rd Generation) is superior to two previous generations or Pro models. I got just over 5 hours on the earpieces, with both calls and music. The charging case can hold enough power to recharge the earpieces four times over and give the battery a time of between 25 and 26 hours for each charge cycle. This is pretty impressive considering the capabilities of AirPods (3rd Gen).

2. Spatial Audio as well as full-featured Siri in AirPods (3rd Gen)

Apple introduced Spatial Audio with Apple TV and then made it available to Apple Music in mid-2021. AirPods (3rd Gen), AirPods Pro and Max, and AirPods Pro and AirPods Max also support Spatial Audio, along with head-tracking in support of services.

A Siri Voice Assistant is included in AirPods (3rd Gen) allows users to activate the hands-free "Hey Siri" wake phrase. It functions the same way it does with the iPhone or HomePod, but the headset must be connected iPhone, iPad, or Mac to connect to the Internet. Siri can read out incoming notifications, change volume, and playback settings, and fetch specific content, contact numbers, and more, all straight from your headset, without having to touch the device from which it came. All of this was as I expected it to be for me.

It also lets you enjoy enhanced capabilities with enhanced functionality with the Find My app on iOS.

It is possible to, of course, use the AirPods (3rd Generation) and other mobile devices, such as Android phones with standard Bluetooth. However, the advanced features you will get pairing AirPods with Apple devices won't be offered.

3. Excellent sound quality, however poor noise isolation on the AirPods (3rd Gen)

This new generational design for the AirPods extends beyond appearance. The AirPods (3rd Gen) have certain key features of the AirPods Pro, distinguishing it against the previous 2nd Gen model. They have Adaptive EQ and its high-excursion drivers, high dynamic range amplifiers, and spatial audio support. These features provide the brand new AirPods with an audio quality that is more like AirPods Pro, which is more costly. AirPods Pro, however, they do not have any active noise cancellation.

The absence of ANC is simultaneously a positive but also a disadvantage of these AirPods (3rd Generation) as the audio signal is pure which is a good thing. Yet, in the same way, you're getting plenty of ambient noise and music that could impede the enjoyment. However, the headphones are clear and loud enough to give you an enjoyable listening experience, even in noisy surroundings.

Apple's Adaptive EQ feature is also found in the higher-end AirPods Pro or AirPods Max. It is available with AirPods (3rd Gen) and is assisted by microphones inside the earpieces, which permit an automatic equalizer adjustment based on how the ear of the user. I found the sound to be more like the sound from the AirPods Pro instead of the 2nd-gen AirPods, as the sonic signature seemed to adapt to different music genres and tracks on as-you-go.

The track was launched with Snitch from Netsky and Aloe Blacc; the Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) produced the perfect sound that was immediately at ease and was well-calibrated to the song and gave every segment of the frequency spectrum the attention it deserves. The beginning of the track was precise and detailed, with Aloe Blacc's vocals sounding clear and straightforward. The pulsing electronic way, synthesized and synthesized, was amazing with AirPods AirPods (3rd Generation) running through it seamlessly.

The more aggressive and fast-paced tracks like "Holdin' On" (Skrillex as well as Nero Remix) from Monsta was cohesive and ferocious sound and sounded great, thanks to AirPods (3rd Gen) keeping up with the continuous change in the pace of this track. The song alternates between soft vocals and the more aggressive bass. When listening to the more slow and more elegant Truth of Kamasi Washington, the earphones could highlight the details in the jazz instruments, all while slowly and carefully adjusting to subtle changes in the tone and speed.

The audio quality was pretty good when listening to the audiobook with only speech audiobooks, although I did have to increase the volume near the top outside to block out any ambient noise. In general, the Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) provides a surprisingly enjoyable listening experience, and it can tailor its knowledge to the genre or tracks currently playing. The audio quality is similar to that of AirPods Pro is a little different due to the absence of the active cancellation of noise and the ability to detect some of the sounds in the background.

While Spatial Audio with support for Dolby Atmos and head tracking isn't brand new to the AirPods collection, it's become more popular as it became available with Apple Music in mid-2021. The AirPods (3rd Generation) support all of the Apple TV and Apple Music features when used in conjunction with any compatible device.

Dolby Atmos, as well as Spatial Audio performance, is as impressive as that of AirPods Pro, with the headphones able to recreate the surround sound experience, despite apparent drawbacks of audio with two channels. Head tracking is also impressive and turning my head when listening to specific tracks resulted in that song "staying in place," as it were. The vocals on Dolby Atmos-enabled tracks generally appeared to originate from the direction set by the device used to create them, even though my head was in the opposite direction.

Apple offers its method to reduce the sound of wind and other sounds during calls with an acoustic mesh surrounding the microphones. It's not easy to gauge its effect on my overall audio experience; I have had excellent experiences when calling using AirPods (3rd Generation) outdoors and indoors. But, the lack of the ability to cancel out noise and isolation significantly affected my ability to focus on the phone if I was not in a quiet area.

Additionally, there is support for the new AAC-ELD codec, which is believed to enhance voice quality on FaceTime calls. I didn't notice many changes from before, but.

4. Conclusion

The Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) is a pricey pair of wireless earphones that are truly wireless since there's the absence of active noise canceling. But, in other ways, they are an excellent pair of headphones. They work well in conjunction with Apple products and other accessories.

However, AirPods (3rd Gen) are designed to work seamlessly with Apple's Apple ecosystem. If you own either an iPhone, iPad, or Mac and you're looking for a better sound experience, think about AirPods (3rd Gen) and AirPods (3rd Generation) over alternatives from other brands, solely because of how they function.
