Apple’s AirPods 3 are here in the form of yet another image leak. The images below appear to show Apple’s third generation of conventional TWS headphones and are in line with previous leaks.
It is rumored that Apple will use an almost identical design between AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro, with silicone tips at the ends. But we are beginning to think that the AirPods 3 will have an open-ear design, like the AirPods 1 and 2, with no rubber tips at the end.
It would make sense to differentiate the 3’s from the Pro’s. The in-ear design, like that of the AirPods Pro, offers superior isolation from external noise and is a great basis for active noise cancellation.
It is rumored that the AirPods 3 will have space audio, but without active noise cancellation and will cost around $ 150.
Apple is scheduled to hold an event for the AirPods 3 later this month, possibly on March 23 (coinciding with the OnePlus Pro 9 and 9 event).
