AirPods Pro are the best AirPods that are obtained not only because they have better sound quality than standard Apple headphones, but also because they fit better. Their design can be polarizing, but the included ear tips of different sizes ensure they fit your ears and create a good seal. That also makes them more comfortable and their IPX4 waterproof design will keep them protected even if they fall out of their ears and fall into a puddle.
Apple’s premium headphones also have active noise cancellation that, thanks to the built-in H1 chip, automatically adjusts to the sounds in your environment. Whenever you need to get into a conversation while using them, you can use the touch controls to activate Transparency mode so you can hear what’s going on around you. The H1 chip also helps AirPods Pro pair quickly and easily with iPhones, and switch between it and other Apple devices, depending on which one you are using.
Regular AirPods also use this technology, so you’ll get the same seamless pairing and switching experience if you choose. The $ 129 retail price is only $ 1 more than the lowest we’ve seen them, so it’s worth getting if you’re on a budget and don’t have a pair of AirPods yet. They had decent audio quality and fit similarly to the EarPods that came with previous iPhone models; if those fit your ears well, normal AirPods are likely to do so too.
