Any Apple AirPods/ Pro are NOT really designed for very old iPads, like a nearly 8-year old iPad 3rd generation.

You will lose many touch features of AirPods being used on such an old iPad.

You are better off looking for third party wireless, Bluetooth earpods, instead, that may still support older iPads either directly or through the use of an iOS 9 compatible app that the third party earpod maker might supply.
