We’re still fans of Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 here at Expert Reviews, but on most counts they’re outgunned by rivals from Bose and Sony these days. It’s twice as effective as it is in the AirPods Pro 2 and four times as effective as the ANC in the original AirPods Pro. We were given a sneak peak of this last year, when Apple introduced hearing aid features via a software update to its AirPods Pro 2. In fact the AirPods Pro 3 are set to be cheaper than the AirPods Pro 2 they replace, with a pair set to cost a mere £219. The Apple AirPods 3 will be available to preorder from today and they will be available in shops from 19 September.
