You’ve likely heard of Airpods before, but you might be wondering which one to get: the third generation Airpods or the Airpods Pro 2? There are some major differences between the two generations, so let’s take a look at how they compare and where they’re similar so you can make an informed decision about which one to choose when you’re ready to buy.
Battery Life
AirPods 3 has an improved battery life, which can last you up to 5 hours of talk time and 12 hours of audio playback. Apple also claims that the H1 Chip in the new model can optimize power use and extend overall battery life. And, when it does need a charge, AirPods 3 will automatically recharge through a USB-C cable. On the other hand, if battery life is more important to you than water resistance, then the current AirPods Pro 2 would be the better choice. They’ll get you up to 7 hours of talk time or 14 hours of audio playback before they need to be charged again.
