Here’s a great AirPods Pro 3 video review from DC Rainmaker:

AirPods Pro 3 use the H2 chip for better sound with stronger bass, clear vocals, and Adaptive EQ. They have improved noise cancellation, Transparency mode, and call clarity. New features include heart rate and calorie tracking. They support Live Translation, come with five ear tip sizes, IP57 resistance, and up to 8 hours of battery (10 in hearing aid mode) in a USB-C case, priced at the same $329 in Canada. Did you upgrade to AirPods Pro 3 this year?

Expect embargoes to lift soon for Apple Watch Series 11, Ultra 3, SE, iPhone 17 series and iPhone Air, all before Friday.
