workout information including heart rate and calories burned.
Feature requirements can depend on compatible hardware,
software and service availability.
AirPods Pro 3 for Workouts
AirPods Pro 3 carry an IP57 rating for
dust, sweat and water resistance under specified laboratory conditions.

treated as waterproof swimming earphones.

features where available.
The Hearing Test can help eligible users assess hearing,

What Is Active Noise Cancellation on AirPods?
Active Noise Cancellation uses microphones to detect sound
around the listener and generates an opposing signal to reduce
unwanted environmental noise.
ANC can be particularly useful on flights, public transport,
in offices and other noisy environments.
Current AirPods with ANC include AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation,
AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods Max 2.
What Is Transparency Mode?
Transparency mode allows outside sound to pass
through while you continue wearing compatible AirPods.
It can be useful when walking, having a conversation or
when you need more awareness of your surroundings.
What Is Adaptive Audio?
Adaptive Audio automatically combines
Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency based on changing
environmental conditions.
It is available on current compatible ANC-enabled AirPods models.
What Is Conversation Awareness?
Conversation Awareness detects when you begin speaking to
someone nearby and automatically lowers the volume of your
media so the conversation becomes easier to hear.
When the conversation ends, audio volume returns automatically.
What Is Personalized Spatial Audio?
Personalized Spatial Audio creates a listening
profile based on the shape of your head and ears using compatible
Apple devices.
With dynamic head tracking, supported music, movies, games
and FaceTime experiences can create a more three-dimensional
sound presentation.
What Is Voice Isolation on AirPods?
Voice Isolation uses computational audio to reduce background
noise and make your voice clearer during compatible calls.
This can be particularly useful when taking calls outside,
in cafés or in other noisy locations.
