AirPods Pro are so good that they suddenly make regular AirPods difficult to recommend. You should absolutely spend the extra $50 on the newer model because they’re easily worth it.

The noise cancelling on these is nothing short of amazing.

Apple AirPods Pro Headphone Review...

Active noise cancellation; Silicon tips ensure a more comfortable fit; Easy setup and syncing

Sub-par audio quality; given their price

But that could soon change. Battery life and sound quality are areas where rival earbuds already top the AirPods Pro. If Sennheiser, Sony, or Master & Dynamic can close the gap in other areas, then they'll put up a serious fight against Apple's buds.

Extremely comfortable; Seamless pairing; Clear; balanced sound; Decent noise cancellation; IPX4 sweat resistance

Not the best sound for the price; Battery life could be better; Pricey

The AirPods Pro sound great and offer active noise cancelling, but come at a steep price

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.

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

Apple's AirPods Pro are fantastic wireless in-ears, comfortable and incredibly intuitive making for a seamless user experience. It does feel a bit of a stretch to call them 'Pro' as they don't quite match similar priced competitors for sound quality.

Comfortable and secure fit; Decent noise cancellation

Expensive; No colour options

Those who have just picked up a pair of AirPods might not care enough about the noise-cancellation and improved fit to upgrade, but there is an element of frustration that all those improvements would’ve cost just £50 more. Given that we already had new AirPods less than eight months ago, recent buyers can feel slightly aggrieved. However, for those who are yet to join the AirPod herd, there’s never been a better time to do it. Active noise-cancellation and transparency modes work well, while all the extra design tweaks and improved audio make for a meaningful upgrade. This reviewer is particularly delighted to see a shorter stem - a subtle, yet important style note. There are cheaper alternatives around, the bass doesn't match Sony's and if you do lots of intense and dynamic excercise you might want something even more secure in the ear. Despite all that, they might be the only pair of headphones you need, because of their incredible versatility, comfort and convenience. They're tiny, use the same charger as your iPhone (if you have one), are just as adept for short commutes, sessions in the gym and for drowning out the sound of screaming children when you're poolside.
