The first-generation AirPods had a lot of flak for not sealing the ear canal, but now they’ve been improved to have both active noise cancellation and a new charging case. While the AirPods Pro cost twice as much as the originals, they’re now one of the best wireless headphones for those who need them for a variety of uses.
The design has been improved, too, with a sleeker look that’s less bulky than the original model. They also come with a new pair of ear tips that’re specifically designed to work with the AirPods Pro and won’t slip out of your ears while you’re wearing them.
It’s no secret that Apple is a big fan of making its devices easy to use and the Pros follow suit. With near-instant pairing and responsive playback, you won’t have to worry about whether you’re using them correctly or not – the ‘Pods do it all without fuss.
They’re also great for calls, with a superior microphone that makes it easy to hear what your companion is saying. The ‘Pods are a breeze to find when you lose them, too, thanks to the U1 chip in the case. This lets you find them with the FindMy app and even send a loud beep to your phone to warn your friends.
Sound quality is excellent, too, with clear lows and a smooth midrange that conveys a wide range of dynamics. Songs like Callaita by Bad Bunny and Thrift Shop by Macklemore communicate an effortless sense of drive that keeps you going through the track.
They’re also excellent for sonic immersion, with spatial audio capabilities that let you place a song in specific parts of the room. This is particularly useful when listening to a live concert, and you can even adjust the volume of the AirPods Pro to make the experience more immersive or more focused on a particular section of the room.
