Why you’ll want to watch TV while wearing Apple’s AirPods Pro 3

Oh, yes, you'll want to watch TV while wearing Apple's AirPods Pro 3 — Oh, yes, you’ll want to watch TV while wearing Apple’s AirPods Pro 3

Apple’s new AirPods Pro 3 feature the world’s best Active Noise Cancellation and a new multiport acoustic architecture that precisely controls the airflow that carries sound into the ear, helping deliver an exceptional spatial listening experience. With next-generation Adaptive EQ, the new architecture transforms the bass response, widens the soundstage so users hear every instrument, and brings vivid vocal clarity to higher frequencies across music, shows, and calls. With a more personalized Transparency, a user’s own voice — and the people speaking to them — sounds more natural than ever, helping them stay connected to their surroundings without missing a beat.

I’m a stickler for sound when it comes to streaming movies on my Apple TV 4K. Whenever possible, I prefer piping the Apple TV’s audio to my 5.1.2-channel speaker setup—if speakers aren’t an option, I’d crack open my Sony MDR-V6 studio monitors or (begrudgingly) my AirPods Max. But earbuds? Until recently, that was a hard “no” for me.
That changed after I tested Apple’s soon-to-arrive AirPods Pro 3, the successor to my frequently used AirPods Pro 2… the surprisingly powerful AirPods Pro 3 are making me rethink my “no earbuds” policy when it comes to streaming.
Slated to go on sale Friday for $249 and packed with features like heart rate sensors, better water resistance (IP57, versus IP54 for the AirPods Pro 2), Live Translation (a feature that also works on other AirPods models), and up to eight hours of battery life on a single charge with Active Noise Cancellation enabled, the AirPods Pro 3 arrive with a revamped multiport acoustic architecture that promises pumped-up bass and a wider, more immersive soundstage. Other audio improvements include ear tips rotated inward for a better fit, as well as foam-infused microspheres that dial up the ANC.
Boiling it all down, the AirPods Pro 3 sound both bigger and deeper than their predecessors, and it’s the “bigger” aspect that makes all the difference.
While streaming big-screen movies like Dune, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and Superman (2025) over extended periods, I found myself settling back and genuinely enjoying the experience, forgetting that I was listening over tiny little earbuds. That was quite surprising to me.
