![]() ![]() ![]() Some might be a little disappointed with the added size, but it's really not enough to make much of a difference. It's shorter and wider, but the thickness is about the same (and like Apple's second-gen AirPods, it also charges wirelessly or via a lightning cable). The AirPods Pro case is a bit larger than its predecessor but not by much. One of the best things about AirPods (and the one that has proved most difficult for others to copy) is the size of its charging case, which is often compared to dental floss. Everything from the shape of the case to the size of the actual earbuds has changed. If you were disappointed that Apple's second-generation AirPods were almost completely identical to the original buds, then you'll appreciate that the "Pro" AirPods got a total redesign. ![]() But after wearing them for almost an entire day, I feel that Apple has more delivered on this promise.ĪirPods Pro (opens in a new tab) not only improve over previous versions in just about every way, the biggest improvements - noise cancellation, comfort, and sound quality - are big enough that even the most hardened AirPods skeptics will be hard-pressed to complain. Not to mention, no other company has the full power of Apple's branding machine behind it, which has helped transform the buds into a veritable status symbol (opens in a new tab).Īt $249 - $100 more than the original - expectations for the "Pro" versions are understandably high. Not only does Apple have a pretty comfortable head start, but the things that make AirPods so popular - their size and simplicity for iPhone owners - have proven almost impossible to match. In that time, the plastic wireless earbuds have gone from widely derided ( remember the memes?) to so popular that seemingly every other tech giant is trying to come up with its own version.īut there's a reason why most haven't been able to come close. It's been three years since Apple launched its first AirPods. ![]()
