Additional sensors on the AirPods Pro 3 make sense. Apple is already all-in on health and fitness via the Apple Watch, and having additional health data via the AirPods will make that tracking more accurate and useful. However, I’m looking for improvements to the AirPods Pro’s original wireless music mission.

We saw Apple AirPods hit their lowest price all year during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale 2025. There are still deals on Apple Airpods Pro, Airpods 4, and wired Apple EarPods, which make great travel headphones.

The 2022 patent suggests that the outer panel of the earcups would be used to control the headphones, like you see on models like the Sony WH-1000XM5. This also didn’t appear on the mid-cycle refresh, so it could be something new for the potential next model.

Looking for a set of earbuds and are thinking Apple? The flagship AirPods Pro 2 are top-tier but pricey, but the AirPods 4 with ANC might just do the trick. We help you decide.

Sale has ended, but you'll kick yourself for missing these deep discounts on top Apple products that rarely go on deep discounts.

The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 supply impressive battery life, effective head-tracked spatial audio and top-tier in-ear security. Sure, they’re not the most sonically adept wireless earbuds on the market and they’re far from cheap, but with a slick design, trusty hear-rate monitor feature and solid call quality, there’s still a lot to love.
