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 superior sound. Additional features include Adaptive Transparency Mode for enhanced ambient sound awareness and Conversation Mode for clearer voice pickup. The second generation model upgrades to a more versatile USB-C charging port and includes a MagSafe charging case.

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

The AirPods Pro's superior audio justifies its $70 premium over the AirPods 4 with ANC. Both offer active noise cancellation, but the AirPods Pro's design results in better sound and noise reduction. 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 a superior seal, passively blocking ambient noise. Adjustable ear tips ensure a proper fit, maximizing performance. The only compelling reason to opt for the AirPods 4 (ANC) at this price point is a preference for open-ear designs.
