Apple's AirPods Pro 3 are the best earbuds for iPhone owners. Simply put, only the company's own audio accessory provides the deep level of integration and dedicated features that offer the most convenience for its customers who own its other devices. You're not getting a hearing test, a hearing aid (if you need it) or live translation on a set of Bose or Sony earbuds — at least for now. However, the AirPods Pro 3 are a pricey choice at $249, and there are more affordable options available that combine great sound quality with effective active noise cancellation (ANC) and handy features.
