The new wireless earphones "AirPods (3rd generation)" announced by Apple in the US at an online event. As a result, three models of AirPods (AirPods Pro, AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods (2nd generation)) will be sold at the same time. Let's explain how to find the best AirPods for you here. [Photo] Taking the best of the successive AirPods series base model and Pro model Let's review the newly announced AirPods (3rd generation). The AirPods (3rd generation) have undergone a major design change from the previous model AirPods (2nd generation), and have a canal-type shape that fits easily in the ears. The main body operation uses a pressure sensor like AirPods Pro, and also achieves IPX4 sweat and water resistance. It is also characterized by support for "spatial audio" surround technology, "dynamic head tracking" that has evolved from it, and "adaptive equalization" that detects the shape of the ear and adjusts the sound. These features were previously only available on the AirPods Pro. The battery life is up to 6 hours for the earphones alone, and up to 30 hours if the charging case is included. It has a longer playback time than the other two AirPods models. The charging case can be wirelessly charged with "MagSafe". The selling price of AirPods (3rd generation) is 23,800 yen (all prices below include tax). The price tag is exactly in the middle between the 16,800 yen AirPods (2nd generation) and the 30,580 yen AirPods Pro.・Unique noise canceling The difference between the high-end model AirPods Pro and AirPods (3rd generation) is the presence or absence of the active noise canceling (ANC) function. The ANC function of AirPods Pro is extremely highly rated, and it eliminates most of the mechanical sounds such as trains and airplanes. The AirPods Pro's "external sound capture mode" is also really convenient. This is a function that allows ambient sounds collected by the earphone microphone to pass through to your ears, which is useful when listening to music while paying attention to your surroundings. AirPods Pro comes with 3 types of ear tips, so you can customize them to suit your ear shape. Although it is a small difference, the "ventilation system for pressure equalization" is also installed only in AirPods Pro. If you want the best AirPods, don't hesitate to choose the AirPods Pro. · 2nd generation model sufficient for home use AirPods (2nd generation), which is a model one generation ago, but can also be fully utilized depending on the application. Compared to AirPods (3rd generation), spatial audio, dynamic head tracking, and sweat and water resistance are lacking, but if you use it at home, there's no problem. The light weight of 4g of AirPods (2nd generation) is also one of its attractions. AirPods (3rd generation) are 4.28g, and AirPods Pro are 5.4g. If you want to wear it easily and enjoy music and calls, AirPods (2nd generation) would be a good choice. Before you know it, the AirPods lineup has grown to the point where three models are being sold at the same time. If you want to enjoy music playback and DTM more seriously, you have the option of stepping up to the wireless headphones "AirPods Max". The AirPods series will continue to be a symbolic presence of wireless earphones.
