This is your guide to find the best pair of AirPods. Apple has four choices to pick from, so let's find out which one is most suitable for you!
No on/off — they are always ready for useNot the strongest noise cancellation out therePrice-to-value ratio is arguableIf you put the new AirPods 3 next to to the AirPods Pro 2 it might be a bit difficult to spot what exactly differentiates the two models from each other. For about $70 the new AirPods Pro offer buyers silicone ear tips and a vent system that prevents that nauseating pressure you get with regular in-ear buds.
Another seemingly tiny but very important difference is that users can adjust the volume with the AirPods Pro 2, which is not possible on the third generation regular AirPods. You also get noise cancelation, Bluetooth 5.3 . Not to mention the new H2 chip, which allows for features such as Adaptive Transparency and Conversation Boost.
Last but not least, there is about half an hour difference of battery life for the earbuds and 4 hours more with the new MagSafe charging case. The case comes with a built-in speaker, as well as the U1 chip for Precision Tracking making it much easier to discover if lost. In contrast, the case of the AirPods 3 only has Find My support.
So, as you can see, there is much that separates the two models despite how similar they might appear at a first glance.Yes, to some extent. You are able to use AirPods with Android devices but their usefulness starts and ends with being used as a simple pair of headphones, which is to say for listening and speaking. Other functionalities like Siri, Spatial Audio, Find My, Conversation Boost, even things as simple as the battery life status indicator.
In fact, the AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Max are so similar in their active noise cancelation capabilities, that it starts boiling down to their other qualities when you are deciding between the two. From our tests we have reached the conclusion that, at least as far as ANC goes, you can't go wrong with either choice.
