I’ve reviewed a lot of truly wireless earbuds over the past year, and I’ve seen a lot of progress made in this particular niche. But the Apple AirPods Pro are on a whole different level—they completely obliterate anything else on the market.
I’m not talking about a small margin here either—AirPods Pro are significantly better than anything else I’ve tried for several reasons. From the active noise canceling to transparency mode, the vents on the sides, and the interchangeable tips, these are not only a big step up from AirPods, but game-changers in the entire category of truly wireless ‘buds.
The Case Is Still the Best in the Game
If you’ve seen AirPods, then you already have an idea of what the case is like. It’s the same basic thing, but a little shorter and a little wider (to accommodate the wider overall profile of each individual AirPod). Either way, it’s still just as pocketable as the original AirPods case.
And really, that’s one area where AirPods, in general, have always been better than the competition. Say what you will about the fit and feel of the ‘buds themselves, the size of the case has always been a winner. The same is true for the AirPods Pro.
Like with regular AirPods, the Pro will request to pair with your iOS device as soon as you pop open the case. Once paired with one device, they’ll also be paired with all the devices connected to your Apple ID, and you can easily switch between them in the Bluetooth menu. Easy peasy.
But you can also manually pair AirPods Pro with other, non-Apple devices (like Android) by long-pressing the button on the back of the case, then pairing as you usually would for your particular device. I’ve been using the AirPods Pro on the iPhone XR, iPad, and Google Pixel 4 XL, switching between them as necessary with absolutely no issues. It’s so nice to have one set of earbuds that seamlessly work across multiple devices.
But none of that is what makes Airpods Pro special. It’s not until you stuff these little white gadgets into your earholes that the real magic happens.
Next-Level Comfort
Once you get them inserted, it’s immediately noticeable how comfortable they are. If you’ve used AirPods (or even Apple’s wired earbuds), then you know how uncomfortable they can be—especially during extended use. The design isn’t great on those because they’re hard and not customizable, so unless they just happen to fit your ears perfectly, it’s a pretty lousy experience.
But the AirPods Pro change that (finally). They feature silicone tips, not unlike the ones that other manufacturers have been using since the dawn of time, so you can (mostly) customize your fit. I mean, there are only three different tips (small, medium, and large), but by golly, I bet one of them will fit your little (or big!) ear holes.
