Apple's AirPods are the most popular headphones in the world. Go outside, take a look around, and it's very likely you'll see someone with white plastic stems coming out of their ears. Once ridiculed, we've come to shrug and accept this signature look as normal.

In-ear design allows them to fit more people's ears; Better sound quality than other AirPods; Noise cancellation is surprisingly effective; Deep software integration with iOS

Most expensive AirPods yet; No improvements to battery life; Best experience reserved for those in Apple's ecosystem; Limited lifespan of two or three years

For just $50 more than the original model with the wireless charging case, these are definitely the 'buds to get. They sound better than the originals and have a way better fit and active noise cancelling to boot. If you have an iOS device, just get these.

Good fit with three ear tip options; Better sound thanks to improved fit; Good active noise cancelling; The pressure-sensitive stem is great; Still comes with super portable charging casse

Price; Charges via lightning cable; Design still looks dumb

Apple ups its bluetooth earbud game

Noise-cancelling is excellent; Sound quality is better than 2nd-gen AirPods; Very comfortable

Battery life isn't great; Expensive; Physical controls are unreliable

Apple's AirPods have been a wild success story – they've been one of the hottest Christmas gifts for a few years running, and you see them in people's ears all down any busy street – but the world of true wireless headphones has moved on, and it's time for a follow-up.

Really great audio quality; Very secure and comfortable fit; Noise cancellation is impressive; Battery life isn't bad; The 'arms' protrude less far from your ear

Still feel very iOS-focused; More nuance in Transparency mode would be nice; Obviously; over-ear headphones have better ANC

This product is much better that previous version of Airpods. First it has good design not long like previous version. Fits very well and "Ear tip fit test" is wonder stuff to get the good fitting on ear buds. Noise cancellation and transparency modes are very good as well.

A great set of wireless headphones, with superb sound, highly effective noise cancellation and chunky battery life

Excellent sound quality; Terrific ANC for in-ear buds; Suitable for exercise

Expensive; Can work loose when running

I was very glad when I heard Apple announcing the AirPods Pro with ANC. This will hasten the adoption of active noise cancellation feature across the audio industry, similar to what Apple did for true wireless earbuds. Before AirPods Pro, active noise cancelling technology is…

Intuitive transparency mode; Pressure sensor prevents accidental triggers; Works well with non-iPhone devices

Paying a premium for design and experience: you can get better technical quality elsewhere at a lower price

Well done, Apple! With the AirPods Pro, the company from Cupertino has created a truly amazing true wireless headphones that currently offer the best compromise between wearing comfort, sound and battery life.

Very good fit; Good sound; Very good active noise suppression; Very good integration with iOS; Compact charging case

Only basic functions outside of the Apple Ecosystem; Missing volume control; Average battery life

I loved the original AirPods but these are next level. Gets rid of all that annoying music at the gym so I can listen to what I want to hear! Word of advice though, turn off the noise cancelling if you're crossing roads because you really don't hear the cars coming.

Apple is about to conquer the ANC headphone market: The new pro version of their best-selling true wireless in-ears no longer have much in common with the "classics" from the same brand. But is the "Pro" for "Professional" justified We'll find out for you.
