AirPods Pro 3 offers big battery life improvements over the AirPods Pro 2. See how they stack up against each other.
AirPods Pro 3 Offers More Listening Time on a Single Charge Compared to AirPods Pro 2
If you’re planning to buy AirPods Pro 3 just for better battery life, you are making the right choice, since Apple promises huge improvements on a single charge.
But, the overall listening time from the charging case paints an interesting picture for AirPods Pro 3. I’ll go to it in a second.
Battery Life on a Single Charge
According to Apple, you get 8 hours of listening time on a single charge with active noise cancelation enabled on the Pro 3. The Pro 2, on the other hand, offers up to 6 hours of battery life.
Both offer great battery life, but that extra 2 on the newer model will be preferred by many, especially if you find yourself in a ton of video meetings from time to time.
Charging Case Battery Life
Apple says you get a total of 24 hours of listening time (with active noise cancellation enabled) using the charging case on AirPods Pro 3. On the AirPods Pro 2, you get up to 30 hours of listening time.
This is where things get interesting. And I believe this is partly due to the fact that AirPods Pro 3 have a slightly bigger battery inside them while the charging case remains unchanged over the previous model.
Wrap Up
If you are planning to get new AirPods, then the AirPods Pro 3 is an obvious choice. They’re brand new, offer improved active noise cancellation, and more.
That extra 2 hours of battery life means you can wear the AirPods Pro for the entire day and still be left with some battery at the end, that too with active noise cancellation enabled.
