The AirPods Pro 2 have long been a leader in the noise-canceling earbuds market, offering great sound quality, comfort, and impressive ANC.
However, with fierce competition from brands like Sony and Bose, Apple needs to step up its game with the AirPods Pro 3.
Here are five key improvements that could help the next generation of AirPods reclaim their crown.
1. Improve Noise-Canceling
The AirPods Pro 2’s ANC is good, but newer models like the Sony WF-1000XM5 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra offer better noise-blocking. Apple needs to improve ANC to stay competitive.
2. More Battery Life
At 6 hours, the AirPods Pro 2’s battery life is behind rivals like the Sony WF-1000XM5 (8 hours). A longer battery life would be a useful upgrade for longer listening sessions.
3. Better Sound Quality
While the AirPods Pro 2 sound good, models like the Sony WF-1000XM5 and Sennheiser Momentum 4 offer more detail and richer sound. The AirPods Pro 3 could use improved bass and clarity.
4. Drop the Stems
The stems are iconic but can be awkward for controls. A stemless design or new control method would improve comfort and modernize the earbuds.
5. Improved Spatial Audio
Spatial Audio on the AirPods Pro 2 is lacking. With more Dolby Atmos content on Apple Music, the AirPods Pro 3 should improve 3D audio and consistency across platforms.
To stay ahead, Apple must focus on better ANC, longer battery life, enhanced sound, a stemless design, and improved Spatial Audio in the AirPods Pro 3.
