After the launch of the new AirPods Max, many users were waiting to see a new cheaper wireless headphones. The rumors have not stopped regarding the AirPods 3 and today we have learned more details related to its possible price. We’ll tell you then.
Some AirPods 3 with a familiar design
According to most rumors, Apple would bet with the AirPods 3 for a design that is already quite familiar. Specifically, the same design of the AirPods Pro would be reflected, but obviously with significant differences in its operation. Specifically, active noise cancellation would not be included. This is something that is now confirmed again by TheElec, which categorizes these new wireless headphones as AirPods Pro Lite. That is, a cheaper version of this model that is achieved after removing the active noise cancellation. Obviously, thanks to the pads that are integrated in this model, in addition to greater support, passive noise cancellation is also achieved.
According to this same medium that has once again confirmed the design of the AirPods 3, the price would be reduced by 20% from that of the AirPods Pro . That is why if these latest headphones now cost $ 249 on the market, applying this reduction would make them stay around $ 200. The only thing that will change at first is the noise cancellation since the rest of the features will remain as the Qi standard compatible charging case.
This is undoubtedly great news for all those users who want to renew their wireless headphones. Right now the ‘Pro’ version can be seen a bit expensive by integrating a technology that may not be of interest to all the public. That is why Apple will want to give all possible options without having to sacrifice the design of its headphones. In this way, the original design that has accompanied many users by one that is more compact and attractive will be shelved. In addition, you will enjoy an improvement in audio quality thanks to the H1 chip that they will have.
This is undoubtedly the best decision that can be made for an accessory that has been successful in the market as we have seen since its initial launch.
When will they see the light?
The big question everyone is asking right now is, When will they be released? According to this same report, the dates that are forecast are within the first semester of 2021. This is something that is really very ambiguous, although apparently it has not yet started with mass production since it still requires going through quality controls. That is why we can wait quietly until the end of spring to see them on the market. This could lead to the launch being done through a simple press release as happened with the AirPods Max a few weeks ago by not integrating revolutionary technologies.
