iPhone users will appreciate the AirPods Pro's exceptional sound quality, a result of their passively isolating in-ear design, excellent active noise cancellation, low-distortion driver and amplifier, and the Apple H2 chip. Beneficial features include Adaptive Transparency Mode for enhanced ambient sound awareness without removal and Conversation Mode for improved voice clarity during conversations. The second-generation AirPods Pro features a more versatile USB-C port, eliminating the need for multiple cables, and includes a standard MagSafe charging case.

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

The AirPods Pro's superior audio and noise cancellation justify its $70 higher retail price compared to the AirPods 4 ANC. Both offer active noise cancellation; however, the AirPods Pro's design results in noticeably better sound and noise reduction. The AirPods 4 ANC, with its open-ear design and non-adjustable tips, sits outside the ear, leading to sound leakage and less effective noise isolation.

Conversely, the AirPods Pro's in-ear design creates a superior seal within the ear canal, passively blocking ambient noise. Adjustable tips accommodate various ear sizes, ensuring an optimal fit crucial for peak performance. The only compelling reason to opt for the AirPods 4 ANC at this price point is a personal preference against in-ear earbuds.
