A:Answer The AirPod Pro IS the noise cancelling version. The Airpod is an open design while the Pro is a closed design that has to penetrate and seal off the ear canal to achieve noise cancelation. The AirPod is designed to just gently sit inside the ear, but not penetrate the canal. Therefore external sound, by the design of the tip, will always have an entry point.
So the answer to your question is no, AirPod 3s cannot be noise canceling. If you want noise canceling then buy the Pros.
