Sound quality:We found the AirPods Pro 3 delivers sound quality that falls in the very good range - it reproduces music and voice very well although it does have some noticeable sonic quirks and excellent active noise reduction. The
bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) has good impact and goes deep, but is somewhat prominent and boomy. The
midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is even, but is a touch grainy. The
treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is extended, but is a bit sizzly (sounds that should have a delicate shimmer have a sound reminiscent of bacon frying) and a touch smeared. The sound also has a good sense of liveliness and is somewhat open--sound-wise it almost seems like you don't have anything plugging up your ears and does a good job of recovering room ambience. Warmish character. The overall sound can be summarized as somewhat bassy and and a touch grainy. A faint rushing noise is audible when music is not present to mask it.
Noise Canceling: Excellent noise reduction across the entire frequency range with the low frequencies reduced the most. Orientation changes the noise reduction characteristic - when the noise is coming from the front and the rear more high-frequency noise (but less from the back than the front) can be heard than when the noise is coming from the sides. A faint rushing noise is audible in very quiet environments when there is no audio program material to mask it.
Comfort and Fit:No pressure in ear canal.
