iPhone users will appreciate the AirPods Pro's exceptional audio. Its in-ear design, combined with active noise cancellation, a low-distortion driver and amp, and the Apple H2 chip, delivers premium sound. Features like Adaptive Transparency Mode (enhanced ambient sound awareness) and Conversation Mode (voice amplification) add further value. The second-generation model upgrades to a universal USB-C port and includes a MagSafe charging case.

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

The AirPods Pro's superior audio justifies its $70 premium over the AirPods 4 (ANC). Both offer active noise cancellation, but the AirPods Pro excels in sound quality and noise reduction due to its design. The AirPods 4 (ANC) uses an open-ear design with non-adjustable tips, leading to sound leakage and less effective noise cancellation.

Conversely, the AirPods Pro's in-ear design provides passive noise isolation via adjustable tips for a customized, secure fit crucial for optimal performance. The only reason to opt for the AirPods 4 (ANC) at this price point is a personal preference against in-ear earbuds.
