How do the AirPods Pro compare to previous models?
Good question. For one, they are customizable. Big ears? Small ears? No problem. While previous iterations of the AirPods signed up for a one-size-fits-all approach, these cutting-edge professionals provide a special “Ear Tip Fit Test” so you can find out which size is best for you and yours. unique ear shape.
Apple also redesigned these buds with a silicone tip for a comfortable fit so they feel better in your ear and don’t slip out midway through a workout.
Unlike previous versions of the iconic buds, the AirPods Pro feature active noise cancellation to block out almost all ambient and background chatter. “I tried my cousins AirPods and couldn’t believe the sound quality. I decided to buy the AirPods pro because I wanted controls on the earphone itself. I can skip or rewind songs, adjust volume, start or stop music and turn the noise canceling option on or off, all from the AirPod, which is super convenient so I don’t have to keep taking out my phone. The noise is so muffled it’s FREAKY. I had my brothers try it and Their faces were in shock when they realized they couldn’t hear their babies scream. BUY these! No regrets,” said one customer, who rated this five-step on Amazon.
Another fan raves about all the features you get with these earbuds. “Incredibly overall, the noise canceling cancels out around 30 decibels of background noise like subway or subway noise. The Transparency mode works really well and still lets you hear most of your surroundings as long as your music/ podcast is not too loud.The battery life is about 6 hours with noise cancellation and as long as I’ve used them, they’ve never died.Overall, great earphones for the average person, they don’t excel at one particular thing, but they’re all good.”
Battery life
The AirPods Pro are also a revelation in the battery life department: six hours, up from 3.5 hours on the previous model. And you can drop them into their included wireless charging case to charge them for an additional 24 hours of battery life.
“Battery life is about six hours, but they charge SUPER fast! I can put them on the charger for 20-40 minutes and they’re fully charged,” said one Amazon customer.
Ease of use for Apple lovers
The new earphones offer a seamless wireless syncing experience with virtually any Apple device, including iPhone, iPad, MacBook, iMac and more.
But the usefulness of these buds extends far beyond the Appleverse: They’ll even pair with Android smartphones or tablets, not to mention Windows 10 laptops and desktops via Bluetooth.
Apple’s AirPods Pro are a big step up in audio quality. And with the bells and whistles that entry-level AirPods don’t have, we think they’re worth it.
