The case of the new Apple AirPods Pro 3 has a smaller battery

10 September 2025
The total playback time is down compared to the AirPods Pro 2 - however, the new buds last longer on their own.

Sort by:

I still use my Galaxy Buds+ I bought 4 & 1/2 years ago but only because of the wing tips. If not for the wing tips the ear buds would fall out immediately. Apple would need to put wing tips on there earbuds in order for them to work for me. Once my Buds+ internal teeny, tiny size batteries wear out I won't be able to wear earbuds anymore because earbuds don't come with wing tips anymore.

    FatShady, 10 Sep 2025it's 2mm taller, 0.1 mm thinner and 1.6mm wider, no id... moreDepends on what you are looking for. I only care about:
    1) the ANC
    2) comfort wrt wearing
    3) the overall sound quality
    4) battery life in one row (i.e. for planes), ideally at some point I want to get rid of my Sony headset given the size.

    The size of the case, the differences in appearance compared to last models, I could not care less. People should stop buying stuff for showing off to others, and focus on quality.

      Moon, 11 Sep 2025No, thank you. I'd rather use quality wired headphones... moreYou can have both. Wired isn't convenient when you are walking.

              Anonymous, 10 Sep 2025Is the case thinner…?it's 2mm taller, 0.1 mm thinner and 1.6mm wider, no idea what the excuse for them to put a smaller battery inside, apart from them wanting the upgrade to be miniscule to keep people wanting to get the new ones each time.
