![]() ![]() With silky tenor tones and bassy beats during cardio-focused dance tracks, right down to the utter filth in my industrial metal weightlifting playlist, the music was an all-around pleasure to listen to. When I was out for a run on a busy street and in the gym blocking out dance tunes with my own music, the audio quality was absolutely superb.Įverything I listened to had a satisfying boom to it. The AirPods Pro are no slouch in the sound department. (Image credit: Matt Evans) Apple AirPods Pro review: Sound and performance On Android, they work as well as any other Bluetooth headphones, but trying to find third-party workarounds for key features like Audio Sharing and Ambient Noise Reduction is nigh-on impossible. Setting them up and using them is an absolute breeze – on iOS. Only once or twice did I feel the buds loosen of their own accord, and that was before I used the Ear Tip Fit Test and went up a size.ĭesign-wise, the AirPods look great and are easy to use. The additional point of contact against your cheek, combined with the silicone seal, also made the AirPods extremely secure on runs and during gym sessions. The gentle curve is a lot less obtrusive and more attractive than the old straight stem. However, the AirPods are extremely comfortable. The test automatically suggests the best size to suit your ears, and although this sounds trivial, it’s actually quite important–and not just for comfort.Ī good seal stops sound from leaking in from outside or escaping, which is essential when it comes to getting the best out of these smart noise-cancellers. Your choice of three sizes of silicone ear tips are intelligently selected via the AirPods Pro Ear Tip Fit Test, available in-app. The AirPods Pro are very comfortable, snug, and as secure as any set of earbuds the ones without the additional over-ear hooks, anyway. (Image credit: Apple) Apple AirPods Pro review: Design and comfort At full price, at least, Android users may want to look elsewhere. Using them on Android reduces them to smart-looking, high-quality noise canceling earbuds, with nothing else going for them. Much of the intelligence of the AirPods depends on the Apple and iOS ecosystem. Audio Sharing, which allows multiple AirPods users to listen to the same source, is also gone for Android users. Ambient Noise Reduction, which allows you to toggle how much background sound you can filter out, can’t be used either – transparency mode is either on or off here. The in-app Ear Tip Fit Test, which helps you select the right size silicone tips for your ears, can’t be done on Android. If you’re an Android user, however, you lose some features. The case’s wireless fast-charging means just five minutes in the case afford you another hour of listening – perfect for long journeys. The latest AirPods Pro also support Spatial Audio, an immersive audio format which takes the position of your head into account, so it sounds like you’re actually in the room.īattery life is said to be five hours for the headphones themselves, with a total of 19 hours when you take into account the buds charge inside the case. ![]() The headphones come equipped with Apple’s H1 chip, which powers the ANC and lets you talk to Siri, Apple’s virtual assistant. ![]() I also found them comfortable to wear for hours at a time, thanks to the in-bud vent system for pressure equalization. ![]() The Jabra set elevates the background noises without entirely disabling the ANC, while the Transparency mode on the AirPods Pro effectively turns off the ANC, so it’s as though you aren’t wearing the earbuds at all. This is slightly different to the similarly-named HearThrough mode on the Jabra Elite 7 Active earbuds. There’s also a Transparency mode for when you want to hear what’s going on around you, which you can activate by holding the “force sensor” at the stem of the earbud. Compared with the entry-level AirPods, the AirPods Pro come with active noise cancellation, which intelligently filters out background noise with several microphones dotted around the earpiece. The AirPods Pro are stuffed with great features. ![]()
