The AirPods Pro deliver exceptional audio for iPhone users, thanks to their passively isolating in-ear design, excellent active noise cancellation, low-distortion driver and amplifier, and the Apple H2 chip. Features like Adaptive Transparency Mode (for enhanced ambient sound awareness) and Conversation Mode (for clearer voice pickup) add to their appeal. The second generation upgrades include a more versatile USB-C charging port and a standard MagSafe charging case.

AirPods Pro vs. AirPods 4 (ANC): Which Should You Choose?

The AirPods Pro's superior audio quality and noise cancellation justify its $70 premium over the AirPods 4 (ANC). Both offer active noise cancellation, but the AirPods Pro's design delivers a noticeable difference. The AirPods 4 (ANC), with its open-ear design and non-adjustable tips, allows for significant sound leakage and ambient noise.

In contrast, the AirPods Pro's in-ear design, coupled with adjustable tips for a secure fit, provides superior passive noise isolation. This optimal seal is crucial for maximizing performance. The only compelling reason to opt for the AirPods 4 (ANC) at this price point is a personal preference against in-ear earbuds.
