I’ve reviewed the AirPods Pro 3, and I gave them a near-perfect 4.5 out of 5 stars. For the sake of this story, I must establish that I found virtually zero flaws when it comes to audio performance. These $249 wireless earbuds are impressively detailed, spatially accurate, and immersive in a way that makes music come alive.
As a consumer electronics enthusiast, there’s little more thrilling than actually getting to look behind the curtain at how a product like AirPods Pro 3 is made. I had the opportunity to do just that by visiting one of Apple’s audio labs, a place where industry-recognized engineers scrutinize every aspect of sound to ensure audio coming from any Apple device lives up to standards.
