Apple's AirPods Split: Pro 3 Boasts Superior ANC, AirPods 5 Debuts Open-Ear Design
Apple splits its AirPods lineup into a premium Pro 3 and a budget-friendly AirPods 5. Pro 3 offers stronger Active Noise Cancellation, ear tips for a better seal, longer battery life up to 32 hours with the case, and exclusive features like MagSafe charging and Find My support, at $249. AirPods 5 introduces an open-ear design (no ear tips) with ANC on both models but different charging options: the base USB-C case at $129 (or $149 for Wireless Charging), lasting about 4–5 hours per charge (20–22 with the case), while the wireless-charging version adds Find My speakers and a volume-swipe force sensor, totaling roughly 24–27 hours with the case.
