Apple is at its best when it takes something that people find fiddly or annoying and then makes it effortless. And the new AirPods Pro are a perfect example.
They’re not the first wireless earbuds with noise cancelling, and they’re not the best-sounding wireless earbuds you can buy, but they do sound quite good and they’re just so easy that it’s just hard to go back to anything else…
Apple’s transparency mode is one of the best I’ve ever used. With other headphones, this feature tends to make everything sound distant and fake, while your own voice is loud and inside your head. It’s a bit like you’re hearing the world over a phone line. On the AirPods Pro it sounds really natural and makes it really easy to hold a conversation with someone. It’s not at all annoying to leave it enabled when you go for a walk or a bike ride, and that’s not something that can be said about most noise cancelling headphones.
MacDailyNews Take: Apple’s AirPods Pro really are that good.
I love my AirPods 1 and 2, but had to return my AirPods Pro, they hurt my ears. Am waiting for AirPods Pro 2 and am back to my pain-free, totally awesome AirPods 2.
Wow, some loser downvoted because they didn’t like that AirPods Pro legitimately hurt someone’s ears. That downvoter is an earhole!
