Apple today shared a new ad highlighting AirPods Pro 3 Active Noise Cancellation.


The ad stars Vini Jr., a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Real Madrid and the Brazil national team, and it arrives as the 2026 FIFA World Cup gets underway. In the spot, Vini Jr. dances through the streets to music only he can hear.

Apple marketing chief Greg Joswiak shared the video on social media, and a short version is also on Apple's AirPods Pro 3 website.

Apple says the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ have the "world's best in-ear Active Noise Cancellation" based on a July 2025 evaluation in accordance with IEC 60268–24 as compared with best-selling commercially available wireless in-ear headphones. The ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ remove up to 2x more noise than the AirPods Pro 2, and up to 4x more than the original AirPods Pro.

The ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ are priced at $249, and along with Active Noise Cancellation, the earbuds feature spatial audio, heart rate sensing, hearing aid functionality, Live Translation, and more.

I think they mean soccer? I didn't recognize the individual as an NFL player.
You did not but the world did. You know, it's football where you actually use your feet, not your hands.

World’s best? If they say so. Not my experience. They’re ok. Not awesome.

They sound great, but the redesign just doesn't fit my ears as well as the Pro 2s. The Pro 3s are constantly wiggling out and I'm adjusting, squeezing the foam, and putting them back in. Pro 2s pop in and stay...wish there was a better solution. And this is all while just sitting on airplanes or walking around the house for phone calls...no abrupt activities.
For me it’s the exact opposite. I constantly had to push the Pro 2 back into my ear. The Pro 3 fits perfectly, like a glove.

A family member uses them at live concerts. Apparently the AirPod Pro 3 is better at lowering stage sound than common foam earplugs.

Same here. I suspect some people don't know how to correctly put them in their ears.
