If this is confirmed, Apple will soon revamp the design of the cheapest model that should look like the AirPods Pro. The shape of the earphone is really more ergonomic, has a shorter and slightly more curved body. The grilles of the earphones are also reminiscent of those seen on the AirPods Pro. In fact, the biggest difference that comes to mind is the absence of an in-ear tip. This suggests we’re stuck with an “open” design without true passive isolation.like current AirPods.
We can even guess at the handle The same delicate surface that can be compressed on AirPods Pro to access the controls (on AirPods Pro, a long press activates/disables noise reduction, a short press pauses the music, etc.). We also notice that, the box of these new AirPods is significantly smaller – with a form factor that looks more like the smaller box footprint of the AirPods 1 and 2. These AirPods 3 look a lot like the less premium AirPods Pro types, without some of the flagship features. However, according to 52 Audio, the difference between the two models is not as big as one might think.
Indeed, for the past few weeks it was expected that Apple would not offer active noise reduction or spatialized sound on standard AirPods. But according to information from 52 Audio, Apple uses the same hardware in future AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro. So it’s quite possible that AirPods 3 are AirPods Pro with an open design. This won’t be the first time, either: Huawei’s Freebuds have long offered true True Wireless in an open design and with active noise reduction that is surprisingly convincing in our tests.
