INTRODUCING AIRPODS 3
Speaking at this year’s Unleashed event, which
saw Apple show of new MacBook Pro models
and HomePod minis alongside the new AirPods,
Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president
of Worldwide Marketing, said that the in-ears
had “forever changed wireless headphones
with their groundbreaking design, incredible
sound, and magical experience. We are excited
to introduce the next generation of AirPods,”
he added, before introducing the new product,
ofering next-level sound through Adaptive
EQ and spatial audio with dynamic head
tracking, which make the world’s most popular
headphones even better.
As had been widely rumored for more than a
year prior to their launch, AirPods 3 have been
given a new look that’s reminiscent of the
AirPods Pro. They’re lightweight and contoured,
ofering added comfort over the irst and
second-generation models, directing audio
into the ear. Apple says that it’s shortened the
stem on the third generation to ofer a “more
subtle” appearance, but it still packs its punch
and ofers the intuitive force sensor as AirPods
Pro for media control. Apple says that the new
AirPods are resistant to both sweat and water,
with an IPX4 rating for both the earbuds and the
charging case, making them ideal when you are
out and about on a run or catching up on your
favorite podcast in the rain walking home.
