Apple introduced the new AirPods 3 back in October of this year. The third-gen accessory brought forward a new design along with support for spatial audio, Adaptive EQ, and a boatload of new features. Now, Apple's vice president of acoustics Gary Geaves shared some interesting insights on the limitations of Bluetooth and the features in AirPods 3. Scroll down to read more details on the subject.

In an interview with What HiFi (via 9to5mac) Gary Geaves stated that the AirPods 3 were made entirely with custom-made components to ensure the best possible sound quality. While Apple can enhance the sound quality through AirPods 3, Bluetooth remains to be a limitation. Geaves did not share many details on whether Bluetooth is holding back the true capabilities of the AirPods but he did coin that Apple would "like more bandwidth."
