Although a redesign of the AirPods would be nice, we also anticipate Apple adding several important features to the base model of the AirPods, such as type-C charging and active noise cancellation, or ANC.

The third-generation AirPods that are now in use also differ from the initial design; they now resemble the Apple AirPods Pro. Shorter stems and an in-ear design are characteristics of this version, albeit they lack the ear tips found on the Pro.
The AirPods 3 feature support for spatial audio and boast sweat and water resistance. Up to six hours of playing and four hours of call time on a single charge are guaranteed by its battery life. The charging case allows wireless charging and MagSafe, and it can hold four full charges.
Additionally, they include adaptive EQ, which modifies sound in real time according to how well an AirPod fits in an individual's ear. The three-dimensional audio experience becomes more immersive with the use of dynamic head tracking and spatial audio support.
