AirPods Pro 3

Quick verdict: the Jenny-exclusive SE is the standout value pick of the Pro 3 series — built on the XiaoBai chipset, it delivers the strongest ANC tested on any replica (beating even the pricier V7), flawless head-tracking spatial audio, real-time translation, and built-in heart rate monitoring for just $48. For most buyers choosing between the SE and the V7, the SE comes out well ahead on value and everyday listening — see the SE overview. The V6 Huilian remains the pick if you want iCloud Connect and multi-device switching. The V7 wins if fitness-grade heart rate accuracy, head gesture answering, or conversation awareness are must-haves, but check the early-release notes first. On a tight budget, the V5.5 has the Pro 3 look for less. See the purchase links for all versions.

Detailed OverviewV7 OverviewSE Overview

V7 Overview

V7 is the newest AirPods Pro 3 replica, built on the Huilian 377H3 chipset. It introduces a heart rate sensor, head gesture controls for answering calls, AI Hybrid ANC, and a low-latency gaming mode. The 45mAh earbuds are rated around 7 hours of playback, and the 500mAh case delivers 3–4 full charges.

It's still an early release — some members have reported hissing on ANC and other rough edges in the first batches. Later batches are likely to refine these, but check recent V7 threads on r/AirReps for current sentiment before you buy.

SE Overview

The SE is a Jenny-exclusive Pro 3 replica powered by the XiaoBai chipset, positioned at $48 as the standout value champion of the Pro 3 line.

First-day impressions

This section is based on our first day of hands-on testing against both a retail Pro 3 and the V7 Huilian — no battery or long-term testing yet. We'll update it after a week of real use.

The headline is ANC: easily the best we've heard on any replica, beating even the pricier V7 Huilian and getting remarkably close to retail. Sound sits around 80% of retail — punchy low end, clear vocals, and very natural transparency mode. Head-tracking spatial audio genuinely works without quirks (unlike early V7 batches), and it includes real-time translation, slide volume adjustment, wireless charging, and in-ear detection. Stem controls are snappy, static is essentially non-existent, and build quality is solid with strong case lid magnets. The one physical quirk: the double-tap on the case front to connect needs a firmer press than retail.

Where it trades off for its $48 price point: it connects to one device at a time (no seamless multi-device switching or iCloud Connect), and it does not have conversation awareness or head-gesture call answering (nodding/shaking). While heart rate monitoring is built in, our testing showed it tracks 15–20 bpm off a medical-grade sensor — fine for casual curiosity, but if you want a functional optical sensor, the V7 Huilian tracks significantly closer.

SE vs V7 Huilian: the SE wins on ANC strength, flawless spatial audio, day-to-day stability, sound quality, and price ($48 vs $68+); the V7 wins on optical heart rate tracking, conversation awareness, and hands-free head gestures. For most buyers, the SE is the easy recommendation. It's exclusively sold by Jenny — see the purchase links, and check Pro 3 SE threads on r/AirReps for community sentiment.
