Apple AirPods Pro

The new Apple AirPods Pro true wireless earbuds have landed, bringing active noise cancellation, a (finally) much better fit, and an improved design, in a bid to lure more iPhone users into the true wireless fold. Apple’s latest buds are a lot more expensive, with the AirPods Pro costing far more than the AirPods 2 that launched in 2018, and even more than the Powerbeats Pro. However, while the price is higher, you are getting earbuds that have been redesigned from top to bottom, and with far more useful features in the mix. you'll need to make sure that iOS 13.2 is downloaded to your device so you can get, in Apple’s words, “all the advanced features” on offer – what these advanced features are is unclear (perhaps the new volume control options in Control Center), but continuing with 'limited features' didn't seem appealing. The first thing to notice is that the AirPods Pro are light – they’re so light that, once plopped into the ears, it’s hard to tell that they're actually there. The stems are much shorter than on the Airpods 2, and where you were able to tap the previous earbuds in order to skip tracks or activate Siri, the fit of the AirPods Pro means that would be a less comfortable experience here. Inside the AirPods Pro are an optical sensor and accelerometer, which means that when you pull a bud out of your ear or insert it back in, the music will stop and start accordingly. No volume control on the buds themselves, and the clickable stem was a little odd to get used to.
