RTINGS

The best earbuds we've tested are the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless. These sleek in-ears are equipped with an ANC system that blocks out a great amount of ambient sound and have a couple of extra features that are unique to iOS devices. They have an H1 chip, which allows you to seamlessly pair them with your Apple devices. They also support 'Spatial Audio' on compatible Apple devices, which is a virtual soundstage that can make for a more immersive audio experience.

If you're worried about battery life, they have a continuous battery life of over five hours, and their carrying case supplies an additional five charges if you need it. Their well-balanced sound profile is suitable for a variety of audio content too, but their companion interface lacks a way to adjust their sound to your liking. If customization matters to you, check out the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Truly Wireless instead, which are ANC earbuds with a 3-band graphic EQ and presets via their app.

In comparison to earbuds, in-ears are inserted into your ear canal. By design, they generally can block out more ambient noise passively. If you prefer this kind of design, the best in-ear headphones we've tested are the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless. These sleek and premium headphones have a couple of features unique to the Apple ecosystem. Their H1 chip allows you to seamlessly pair them with other iOS devices, while their Spatial Audio feature can provide a more immersive audio experience.

While their sound profile is versatile enough for most kinds of audio content, keep in mind that their companion interface doesn't offer sound customization features to help you adjust them to your liking. However, with their ANC on, their battery lasts roughly five-hour continuously, which may not last through long days without a recharge. Luckily, their carrying case holds roughly five additional charges if you need it. 

If you're looking for headphones that offer more functionality with Apple devices, go for the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless. While their battery's continuous playback time is shorter than the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Truly Wireless, and they don't have any sound customization features, they have a couple of unique features only available to iOS users. Their H1 chip allows you to seamlessly pair the headphones with your Apple devices. They're also compatible with Spatial Audio, which is Apple's virtual soundstage feature. Although it's only available on iOS/iPadOS 14 or later, this feature reorients sound to follow the movement of your head, which can make for a more immersive audio experience. Overall, these buds have a great build quality and comfortable fit. They have a great noise isolation performance, thanks to their ANC, and their fairly neutral sound profile is suitable for most kinds of audio genres.

Take a look at the Bose if you like to adjust your headphones' sound to your liking or if longer continuous battery life is a priority. However, if you have a lot of Apple products and want unique features tied to this ecosystem, check out the Apple headphones instead.

If you're an Apple user looking for noise cancelling earbuds for the office, you may prefer the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless. They have a shorter continuous battery life than the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Truly Wireless. However, they include some features for iOS users, including an &Eta;1 chip for quicker pairing and a few customization options like button remapping. Their ANC feature has excellent performance, so they can block out background conversations and the hum of an A/C unit so you can focus on your work. Their lightweight, comfortable design is suitable for all-day use, and they have a versatile, well-balanced sound profile. Unfortunately, they don't have any sound customization features.

If you want headphones with more customization features or a longer continuous battery life, go for the &Beta;ose, but try the Apple instead if you want features for iPhone like seamless pairing.

The &Beta;luetooth earbuds for iPhone we&rsquo;ve tested are the Apple AirPods Pro. Unlike the Apple AirPods (3rd generation) Truly Wireless that have an earbud design, these go deeper into the ear canal. While some people may not find this as comfortable, it creates a tighter seal, which gives them a much better bass response and a more stable fit. You may also find the silicone tips less fatiguing on the ear over extended periods when compared to the hard plastic of the third generation.

They have a well-balanced sound profile well-suited to a very wide range of genres and content. They have an excellent active noise cancelling (ANC) feature that does a great job blocking out the low engine rumble of buses or planes and background chatter in an office. Like other headphones made by Apple, they utilize the H1 chip to allow seamless pairing with all your Apple devices, making it easy to switch from your iPhone to your MacBook without having to fuss around with the settings.

Unfortunately, their battery life isn't as high as some other options on this list; they last 5.3 hours, meaning you'll have to take a break to recharge them to get you through a full workday. Luckily, their case holds an additional five charges, which is great, and Apple advertises you can get between three to four hours of playback from a 30-minute charge. Overall, their excellent ANC and seamless pairing to Apple devices make them the best true wireless earbuds for iPhone.

If you're looking for neutral-sounding earbuds with a more comfortable fit, you may prefer the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless. Compared to the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Truly Wireless, their sound lacks low-bass. However, it's very well-balanced overall, and the earbuds have a sleeker, lighter design that's more comfortable for most listeners. Their ANC system also does a great job blocking out ambient sound, including the low rumble of bus and plane engines and office-type noise like background conversations at work. Their continuous battery life is shorter than the Bose's, but they come with a compact, well-built case that holds about five extra charges. Unfortunately, they don't have a companion app and don't come with sound customization features.

If you want the headphones that do a better job of reproducing low bass, go for the &Beta;ose, but consider the Apple instead if you prioritize a more comfortable fit or want slightly better noise isolation.

The best wireless earbuds we've tested are the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless. These premium headphones have a couple of Apple-centric features, like an H1 chip to seamlessly pair them with other devices in your Apple ecosystem. They also have a fairly neutral sound profile that's versatile enough for most kinds of audio content, although they lack any sound customization features to help you adjust their sound to suit your tastes.

These in-ears have an active noise cancelling (ANC) system that can block out sounds like car engine rumbles or background chatter. However, unlike the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Truly Wireless, the ANC doesn't have any presets, so you can't select how much ambient sound you hear. Keep in mind that with their ANC on, their over five-hour continuous battery life may not be enough for long days on the go. Luckily, their carrying case holds an additional five charges, which is handy in a pinch.

The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are the best iPhone noise cancelling earbuds that we've tested. Unlike other picks on this list, these buds offer a couple of features exclusive to Apple devices. They have an H1 chip, which allows you to seamlessly pair your headphones to other devices in your Apple ecosystem. They're also compatible with 'Spatial Audio', a head tracking feature that can help create a more immersive audio experience.

They have a great noise isolation performance, thanks to their ANC system. They can block out the low rumble of bus engines as well as office chit-chat, making them a solid choice for commutes or long days at the office. Although they lack a bit of low-bass, they have a neutral overall sound profile that's well-suited for most audio content. They also have a comfortable and lightweight design with a premium build. Their continuous battery life of over five hours may not last through long days on the go, but their carrying case holds roughly five additional charges if you need it.

They don't have any sound customization features to help you adjust their sound. If you need to make a lot of calls, their integrated mic also has a disappointing recording quality, and your voice sounds muffled and distorted. The mic struggles to separate your voice from background noise too. However, if you're looking for Apple-centric noise cancelling earbuds, these headphones offer a powerful and versatile noise isolation performance.

Apple is an iconic American company that produces consumer electronics like speakers, smartphones, and computers. Although their headphones line up is a lot smaller than their competitors, their easily recognizable products have made quite an impact on the retail landscape. Their in-ears have a distinct, glossy white look that's been imitated by other manufacturers. Their products also boast a couple of extra features if you're already an Apple user. Their wireless headphones have H1 chips so that you can seamlessly pair them with iOS devices and newer products support Spatial Audio on iOS/iPadOS 14 or later, which reorients sound as you move your head. Unfortunately, their products lack sound customization features to adjust their sound.

The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are the best Apple headphones we've tested. Unlike the Apple AirPods (3rd generation) Truly Wireless, they have an in-ear fit and have an ANC system. As a result, they can block out a great amount of ambient noise like the low rumble of bus and plane engines as well as ambient chatter. Their fairly neutral sound profile is well-suited for most kinds of audio content, although they lack a bit of thump and rumble. While their continuous battery life of 5.3 hours may not last you through long days on the go, their carrying case holds five additional charges. If you prefer over-ear headphones, you may want to consider the Apple AirPods Max Wireless, which are premium noise cancelling headphones with a sleek aluminum design.

The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are the best wireless earbuds for iPhone we've tested. These sleek and premium in-ears offer versatile overall performance, whether you're commuting to work, exercising at the gym, or plugging away at the office. They also offer a couple of Apple-centric features, like Siri voice assistance, and they have an H1 chip, making it simple and easy for you to pair them with other iOS devices. Additionally, they support Spatial Audio, which is a feature that orients compatible audio to follow your head movements, creating a more immersive experience.

These comfortable buds have an active noise cancelling (ANC) system that helps block out a great amount of ambient noise, like the low rumble of bus and plane engines. Despite lacking a bit of thumpy low-bass, their fairly neutral sound profile is also well-suited for a variety of audio content. Although their 5.3-hour continuous battery life is a bit short, their carrying case holds roughly five additional charges, and it has a lightning port so that you can charge it up again.

The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are the best noise cancelling in-ear headphones under $200 that we've tested. These earbuds have a premium build quality and a compact, lightweight design. Their ANC feature can block out an impressive amount of ambient noise, including bass-range noise like rumbling engines.

These small earbuds are comfortable and don't put a lot of pressure on your ears, meaning you can wear them all day at work or for a long bus ride. Their sound profile lacks a bit of low bass, but otherwise, it's very neutral, so it's suitable for various genres and types of content. There's also a virtual surround sound feature if you're using a compatible iOS device, and they have an H1 chip for easier pairing with Apple devices.

Unfortunately, they don't have a companion app aside from a settings screen on iOS devices, and they don't come with sound customization features like an EQ. Their roughly five-hour continuous battery life is short for a 9-5 workday. They recharge quickly and come with a case that holds about five extra charges, so you can always top them up.

The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are the best Bluetooth earbuds for small ears that we've tested. These sleek, well-built in-ears have a very comfortable fit and don't enter your ear canal too deeply. They also come with three different sizes of ear tips to help you find the best fit.

Thanks to their H1 chip, you can seamlessly pair them with other devices in your Apple ecosystem. They also have a fairly neutral and well-balanced sound profile that's versatile enough for different audio content, although they lack a bit of low bass. They have an active noise cancelling (ANC) system, and as a result, they can block out a great amount of ambient noise around you. If you like to stream videos from your phone, they have low latency on iOS and Android devices, so you shouldn't have issues with audio lag.

Their companion interface is quite limited, and it doesn't offer many sound customization features. Their continuous battery life of 5.3 hours also may not be enough to get you through your workday without pausing to recharge the buds again. Luckily, their carrying case holds roughly five additional charges if you need it, and you can even use one bud while the other charges.

Consumer Reports

The AirPods Pro deliver sound quality that’s more than sufficient for critical listeners of music and movie soundtracks. They also offer active noise cancellation to muffle outside sound and interchangeable ear insert tips, abandoning the one-size-fits-all earbud design of other AirPod models.CR’s test results: Apple AirPods Pro

TechGearLab

The Apple AirPods Pro are the perfect companions for airports or crowded subways. They feature impressive active noise cancellation, a slim carrying/charging case, and a fit that is still comfortable after hours of wear. In crowded or loud situations, we found the noise cancellation to be effective enough to listen to music or podcasts at a reasonable volume without being distracted by the outside world. When stuck in a metal tube with dozens of disgruntled travelers, that is just about all you can ask for. The noise cancellation also ups the overall quality of the music reaching our ears, providing clear mids and treble with more bass than most people expect from Apple earbuds. The majority of our testers even found the silicon earpieces to be plenty secure for gym workouts. 
The apparent downside of these buds is the high price. Additionally, some of our testers noticed that the silicone tips started to slip towards the end of sweaty runs &#40;though none actually fell out&#41;. And perhaps most importantly, Android users will not be able to access all the unique features that those utilizing Apple products &#40;iOS devices&#41; will. Hence, we only recommend them for use with compatible Apple products. These buds are still unique in that they can follow you from the subway to the gym while offering good sound, excellent noise isolation, and reliable comfort. We think many people will find them well worth the hefty price tag. 

Since Apple released the original AirPods, many have been clamoring for a more sports-oriented iteration of the revolutionary buds. Those cries have largely been answered with the Apple AirPods Pro. Despite a lack of the ear fins seen in most workout headphones, most of our testers had zero issues with jumping jacks, running, and pushing through hard and sweaty workouts with these buds. The addition of an IPX4 water resistance rating adds confidence to those sweaty summer runs &mdash; we had no sweat-induced issues throughout our testing. The active noise cancellation is a nice touch, as it lets you drown out whatever music is playing at the gym and listen to your playlist without cranking the volume uncomfortably high. 
The price is likely the most significant thing that may dissuade potential buyers from these buds. However, if you have been searching for a pair of workout headphones and are a big fan of products that seamlessly integrate into the Apple ecosystem, the Apple AirPods Pro will not disappoint. 

If we had to choose one pair of earbuds for long plane rides, the Apple AirPods Pro would be our go-to. The silicon tips of these buds create a good enough seal to block out much of the ambient noise and provide all-day comfort. Add Apple's fairly effective active noise canceling technology on top of that, and you get a much more isolated auditory experience than most other buds offer. Though the noise cancellation isn't perfect, it allows you to enjoy music on planes, in gyms and subways, or when trying to get some work done while the kids are making noise, without cranking the volume up uncomfortably high. The pinch controls used to play/pause the music and skip tracks are some of the most intuitive and responsive that we've seen, which is great for when you don't want to take your phone out of your pocket or when summoning Siri would be awkward. Back this all up with a reasonably impressive soundscape that can flatter many genres of music, and you've got a great pair of buds. 
The major downside of the Apple AirPods Pro, as you might have been able to guess, is the cost &mdash; they are some of the priciest buds currently on the market. Additionally, if you don't use an iPhone, you lose some of the advanced features they offer, like a fit test and control customization. If you're an Apple user and are willing to pay a bit of a premium, these buds are some of the best on the market, particularly for traveling and city commuting. If you want on-ear headphones, you should consider the Apple AirPods Max. 

If your favorite workout location tends to be accompanied by a cacophony of noisy gym-goers, passing cars, or youth soccer practices, the Apple AirPods Pro can create a blissful cone of silence in which you can enjoy your music at a reasonable volume. The effective active noise cancellation can block out most ambient noise, providing you with a quieter and more pleasant listening environment. Upgrading to these buds, we went from blasting our music so loud to drown out the treadmill's noise our ears were left ringing to not even being able to notice the treadmill noise despite our music only being played at a moderate volume. Though certainly not the most stable of the buds we tested, the silicone earpieces allowed most testers to confidently run and do jumping jacks without fear of the AirPods Pro falling out. 
That noise cancellation technology does come at a price. The AirPods Pro sport an eye-popping price tag compared to other models tested here. Also, non-iOS users may be disappointed that specific settings and customization options are not available. But if you frequently find yourself cranking your music uncomfortably loud to drown out the din during your workout, the Apple AirPods Pro are worth the extra cost.

The best upper mid-range earbuds that we've tested are the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless. They're the previous generation of the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) Truly Wireless, but we haven't tested their successor yet; we'll update our article once completed. That said, the first gen's battery life and ANC system don't quite stack up to that of the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3. However, you can now find these buds in the upper mid-range, and they're a good deal for what you get, especially if you're already an Apple user. They have some features unique to the Apple ecosystem: their H1 chip allows you to seamlessly pair them with other iOS devices, while their Spatial Audio feature can provide a more immersive audio experience. They also have an ANC system that blocks a great amount of noise. However, with their ANC on, their battery lasts roughly five hours continuously, which may not last through long days without a recharge. Luckily, their carrying case holds roughly five additional charges.

Their sound profile is versatile enough for most audio content, but they don't have sound customization features to help you adjust them to your liking. These buds also have a comfortable fit, but if you're looking for true earbuds, it's worth considering the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Truly Wireless instead. You may prefer their design if you don't like inserting headphones deep into your ear canal. They're not as comfortable as the Apple headphones since they're pretty bulky. However, they have a slightly better noise isolation performance and a longer continuous battery life.

The best true wireless earbuds we&rsquo;ve tested are the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless. These iconic in-ears have an H1 chip for seamless pairing with all your Apple devices, making it easy to switch from your iPhone to your MacBook without fussing around with the settings. They also have an excellent active noise cancelling (ANC) feature that does a great job blocking out the low engine rumble of buses or planes and background chatter in an office. Their build is great, and they have a comfortable fit for long listening sessions.

They have a well-balanced sound profile well-suited to a very wide range of genres and content. Even though they don't have customization features to help you adjust their sound, they support Spatial Audio, which reorients sound to follow your head movements. This feature is only available on iOS/iPadOS 14 or later. While their 5.3-hour battery life isn't as high as other options on this list, their case also holds an additional five charges, which is great. Apple also advertises you can get between three to four hours of playback from a 30-minute charge.

The best upper-mid-range wireless earbuds we've tested are the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless. Although they're a little cheaper than our top pick, these buds are no less premium. They have a few unique features that benefit Apple users, including an H1 chip for easy pairing with iOS devices and a virtual surround sound feature. While, unlike the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3, they don't come with sound customization features, they have a well-balanced sound profile suitable for different genres and types of content. They have a slightly short five-hour battery life with ANC on, but on the plus side, their case holds about five extra charges, so you can always top it up.

These buds have a premium build and a comfortable design. Their active noise cancelling (ANC) feature does a great job of blocking noise like rumbling engines and ambient conversations. There's a 'Transparency' mode for when you want to hear your surroundings, but otherwise, you can't adjust the ANC. If that's an issue for you, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Truly Wireless have a similarly great ANC with a few presets for different situations. However, they have a bulkier design and are less comfortable for most people.

The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are the best iPhone noise cancelling earbuds we've tested. If you're an iPhone user, you'll want to check out these buds if you value noise isolation and Apple-centric features not found in any other earbud on this list. They have an H1 chip, which allows you to seamlessly pair your headphones to other devices in your Apple ecosystem. They're also compatible with 'Spatial Audio', a head tracking feature that can help create a more immersive audio experience. That's not to say that Android users are left out of the loop entirely since you can still benefit from their ANC system. While it doesn't perform as well as the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Truly Wireless, these buds can still block a great amount of sound. It includes noise like the low rumble of bus engines as well as office chit-chat, making them a solid choice for commutes or long days at the office.

Although they lack a bit of low-bass, they have a neutral overall sound profile that's well-suited for most audio content. Unlike the Bose, they don't have any sound customization features to help you adjust their sound. In terms of design, they have a premium and lightweight build that's comfortable for long listening sessions. Their continuous battery life of over five hours may not last through long days on the go, but their carrying case holds roughly five additional charges if you need it.

The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are the best Apple headphones we've tested. Although they've been replaced by the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) Truly Wireless, we haven't tested their successor yet. However, these buds have an in-ear fit and have an ANC system that helps them stand apart from other in-ears from this brand, like the Apple AirPods (3rd generation) Truly Wireless. They can block out a great amount of ambient noise, like the rumble of bus engines and ambient chatter. Their fairly neutral sound profile is well-suited for most audio content, though they lack some low-bass. While their continuous battery life of 5.3 hours is a little short, their carrying case holds five additional charges. If you prefer over-ear headphones, you may want to consider the Apple AirPods Max Wireless, which are premium noise cancelling headphones with a sleek aluminum design. However, they're heavy and can be fatiguing to wear for long listening sessions.

The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are the best wireless earbuds for iPhone we've tested. These premium and iconic buds are a good deal if you can find them for less than full price. They offer a couple of Apple-centric features, like Siri voice assistance, and they have an H1 chip, making it simple and easy for you to pair them with other iOS devices. Additionally, they support Spatial Audio, a feature that orients compatible audio to follow your head movements, creating a more immersive experience.

These comfortable buds offer versatile overall performance, whether you're commuting to work, exercising at the gym, or plugging away at the office. They have an active noise cancelling (ANC) system that helps block out a great amount of ambient noise, like the low rumble of bus and plane engines. Despite lacking a bit of thumpy low-bass, their fairly neutral sound profile is also well-suited for different audio content. Although their 5.3-hour continuous battery life is a bit short, their carrying case holds roughly five additional charges, and it has a lightning port so that you can charge it up again.

The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are the best earbuds for small ears we've tested. These premium headphones have a very lightweight and comfortable fit that doesn't enter your ear canal too deeply. They also come with three different sizes of ear tips to help you find the best fit. Although some users have trouble with the buds moving around in their ears, a few in the community have swapped out the default silicone tips with foam tips. This material molds to your unique ear shape, which can improve the headphones' comfort, fit, and stability.

These buds have an active noise cancelling (ANC) system that can block out lots of ambient noise around you. With the ANC on, they have a continuous battery life of over five hours. Their carrying case holds roughly five additional charges if you need them. Thanks to their H1 chip, you can seamlessly pair them with other devices in your Apple ecosystem. They have a fairly neutral and well-balanced sound profile that's versatile enough for different audio content, although they lack a bit of low bass. Unfortunately, their companion interface is limited and doesn't offer many sound customization features.

The Apple AirPods Pro aren’t the best-scoring noise-canceling headphones in our ratings, but they might be the most popular, especially among students. And unlike the earlier generations of AirPods, the Pros deliver when it comes to performance, with solid sound quality and fantastic noise cancellation. Why it’s a good deal: If you’ve been thinking about picking up a pair, these are now just $10 more than the Prime Day price.

If we had to choose one pair of earbuds for long plane rides, the Apple AirPods Pro would be our go-to. The silicon tips of these buds create a good enough seal to block out much of the ambient noise and provide all-day comfort. Add Apple's fairly effective active noise canceling technology on top of that, and you get a much more isolated auditory experience than most other buds offer. Though the noise cancellation isn't perfect, it allows you to enjoy music on planes, in gyms and subways, or when trying to get some work done while the kids are making noise, without cranking the volume up uncomfortably high. The pinch controls used to play/pause the music and skip tracks are some of the most intuitive and responsive that we've seen, which is great for when you don't want to take your phone out of your pocket or when summoning Siri would be awkward. Back this all up with a reasonably impressive soundscape that can flatter many genres of music, and you've got a great pair of buds. 
The major downside of the Apple AirPods Pro, as you might have been able to guess, is the cost &mdash; they are some of the priciest buds currently on the market. Additionally, if you don't use an iPhone, you lose some of the advanced features they offer, like a fit test and control customization. If you're an Apple user and are willing to pay a bit of a premium, these buds are some of the best on the market, particularly for traveling and city commuting. If you want on-ear headphones, you should consider the Apple AirPods Max.

Since Apple released the original AirPods, many have been clamoring for a more sports-oriented iteration of the revolutionary buds. Those cries have largely been answered with the Apple AirPods Pro. Despite a lack of the ear fins seen in most workout headphones, most of our testers had zero issues with jumping jacks, running, and pushing through hard and sweaty workouts with these buds. The addition of an IPX4 water resistance rating adds confidence to those sweaty summer runs &mdash; we had no sweat-induced issues throughout our testing. The active noise cancellation is a nice touch, as it lets you drown out whatever music is playing at the gym and listen to your playlist without cranking the volume uncomfortably high. 
The price is likely the most significant thing that may dissuade potential buyers from these buds. However, if you have been searching for a pair of workout headphones and are a big fan of products that seamlessly integrate into the Apple ecosystem, the Apple AirPods Pro will not disappoint.

Have you ever cranked the volume of your earbuds to uncomfortable levels to sufficiently drown out the din of a noisy gym, only to leave the gym with your ears ringing? Even when running on home treadmills, we've committed the same sin to block out the sound of the motor bouncing off the walls. This scenario is where the Apple AirPods Pro excel. Out of all the athletically inclined earbuds we tested, these offer the best active noise cancellation, allowing you to block out the noise of the gym or treadmill and listen to your music at a reasonable and safe volume. This noise cancellation is accompanied by great sound, intuitive controls, and a comfortable fit. 
The drawback is the noise cancellation technology comes at a high price &mdash; the AirPods Pro are some of the most expensive earbuds on the market. They are light enough and, given the three sizes of silicone earpieces included, fit securely enough that our testers didn't have any stability issues. Considering the cost, we would have appreciated the addition of ear fins for extra peace of mind. But if you often feel like you've just left a concert when you step off the treadmill, the Apple AirPods Pro can provide excellent sound while protecting your ears.

The Apple AirPods Pro are the perfect companions for airports or crowded subways. They feature impressive active noise cancellation, a slim carrying/charging case, and a fit that is still comfortable after hours of wear. In crowded or loud situations, we found the noise cancellation to be effective enough to listen to music or podcasts at a reasonable volume without being distracted by the outside world. When stuck in a metal tube with dozens of disgruntled travelers, that is just about all you can ask for. The noise cancellation also ups the overall quality of the music reaching our ears, providing clear mids and treble with more bass than most people expect from Apple earbuds. The majority of our testers even found the silicon earpieces to be plenty secure for gym workouts. 
The apparent downside of these buds is the high price. Additionally, some of our testers noticed that the silicone tips started to slip towards the end of sweaty runs &#40;though none actually fell out&#41;. And perhaps most importantly, Android users will not be able to access all the unique features that those utilizing Apple products &#40;iOS devices&#41; will. Hence, we only recommend them for use with compatible Apple products. These buds are still unique in that they can follow you from the subway to the gym while offering good sound, excellent noise isolation, and reliable comfort. We think many people will find them well worth the hefty price tag.

If your favorite workout location tends to be accompanied by a cacophony of noisy gym-goers, passing cars, or youth soccer practices, the Apple AirPods Pro can create a blissful cone of silence in which you can enjoy your music at a reasonable volume. The effective active noise cancellation can block out most ambient noise, providing you with a quieter and more pleasant listening environment. Upgrading to these buds, we went from blasting our music so loud to drown out the treadmill's noise our ears were left ringing to not even being able to notice the treadmill noise despite our music only playing at a moderate volume. Though certainly not the most stable of the buds we tested, the silicone earpieces allowed most testers to confidently run and do jumping jacks without fear of the AirPods Pro falling out. 
That noise cancellation technology does come at a price. The AirPods Pro sport an eye-popping price tag compared to other models tested here. Also, non-iOS users may be disappointed that specific settings and customization options are unavailable. But if you frequently find yourself cranking your music uncomfortably loud to drown out the din during your workout, the Apple AirPods Pro are worth the extra cost.

 You can still hear some loud noises, but those are muted significantly. As for Transparency mode, it amplifies outside noise so you can be aware of your surroundings while listening to music. This was quite helpful while I was walking on the street and did not want to be completely isolated from the outside world. Overall I'd say these two features are a solid 10/10  Battery life: On paper Airpods pro have less battery life than Airpods 2 (4

 I used Airpods first gen for quite some time and I really enjoyed them. As they began to age, I started looking for a replacement. I was torn between getting Airpods 2nd gen, or spending a bit more and getting Airpods pro. After watching several reviewers saying the pros sound considerably better than Airpods gen 2, I was finally convinced to give these a shot, mainly because I've never used noise cancelling ear buds before and was curious to try them out

I really wanted to love these...

>The Apple AirPods Pro have a fairly neutral sound profile, suitable for a variety of audio content. While they struggle a bit more to produce thump and rumble, they lack less bass than the [Apple AirPods 2 Truly Wireless 2019](https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/apple/airpods-2-truly-wireless-2019), which have an open-back design

I really liked this write up. I’m looking for a good set of headphones but I’m still on the fence about dumping this kind of money on these.

<div class="md">Tried the AirPods Max here at a store in Sydney. Here’s a quick very subjective review with the Bose NC700 as a comparison. 

Noise Cancellation:

The Max is maybe 25% better at noise cancellation. Genuinely quieter than the Bose. It feels it’s partially due to the headphones cupping your ears more strongly than the Bose. 

Sound: 
The Pro Max are noticeably spacier than the Bose. It’s like hearing a concert in an empty room. The Bose is like being right next to a high quality speaker. Which I suppose, in a literal sense, you are as you wear headphones. 

Despite the weight, which was noticeable, but mostly comforting and not overbearing, this means you notice wearing the Max less than with the Bose as there is a feeling of space when listening. 

The Bose has much more bass. 

Listening to New Slang the Max felt light and airy. Like being in a field. With the Bose it was nearly the same but lacked that airy quality. By contrast when listening to the instrumental of Still DRE (real version was blocked from store trial because its explicit) you notice the lack of bass, although it sounded great still. 

They both sounded great with River Flows In You but the Max was nicer as it has that spacey relaxing vibe. A more 3D sound for sure. 

Build:

The Bose’s felt cheap after handling and wearing the metal Max. But it is literally $200 cheaper. 

Wrap Up:

The Max sounds maybe 30% better than the Bose NC700 but costs about 50% more. Not worth it to upgrade as long as the Bose works, but probably worth it when these break. 

Verdict:

I didn’t buy them as my Bose work fine, but I will definitely buy the Max as the replacement when these break. The max sounds more 3D but they’re both high quality headphones. 

Didn’t get to test the surround audio feature with movies. 

The colors that are not white or black also look cheap, with the possible exception of the blue which was ok. 

Everything I said was subjective, happy to answer questions but these are just my opinions.

EDIT: I wrote “bose” instead of “max” in the river flows in you test. Corrected now.

Edit removed “pro” I had called them “pro max” incorrectly
