Listening to the AirPods Pro 3 for the first time, I wondered aloud how Apple put so much audio space inside those tiny wireless earbuds. I heard bass, mids, highs, lows, and separation that I'd normally expect from over-the-ear headphones. Turns out, though, I'd get my answer a few hours later when I toured Apple's Audio Lab just a few short steps from Steve Jobs Theater.
Unlike its neighbors, the Apple Audio Lab is an unassuming structure just down the road. I would tell you the exact location, but Apple is not in the habit of inviting regular visitors to the lab. Let's just say, it's a warren of spaces, with virtually all of them dedicated to the art of audio perfection.
