AirPods just got a variety of new features in iOS 27, several of which are exclusive to AirPods Pro 3. Here’s everything new.

Custom EQ is a feature that some AirPods users thought Apple would never ship, but iOS 27 adds it. With Custom EQ, Apple now lets you set your own sound profile for AirPods. Custom EQ is available on AirPods Pro 3, AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Max 2, AirPods 5, and AirPods 4.

Apple Gym Kit has been available for years, but only for Apple Watch. In iOS 27, Gym Kit expands to support iPhone using AirPods Pro 3’s heart rate sensor. For most AirPods users, the single biggest upgrade in iOS 27 will be Siri AI. AirPods are essentially becoming an AI wearable thanks to the new Siri. It will let users do a lot more than the current Siri.

With iOS 27 and watchOS 27, Apple expands Precision Finding on the Watch to AirPods Pro 3. AirPods Pro 3’s case includes the latest second-generation Ultra Wideband (UWB) chip. In iOS 27, Apple has redesigned and reorganized all AirPods settings into more categories and submenus, accompanied by colorful icons.
