* Air Pods Pro
* AirPods Pro are good. So good that I forgot how weird I look with the twisted little golf tees hanging from my ears, or that these headphones—like most other wirefree models—will probably last only a couple of years before their batteries bite the dust. I’m not even afraid of being made into a meme about how rich I look.
Instead of complaining, I'm going to revel in how much better these are than the first two AirPod models. I love how much more comfortable the new silicone ear tips are and how the active noise canceling makes it so I can barely hear a screaming toddler in the snack aisle. I can’t stop taking the sweat-resistant buds on runs, where Siri heeds my every command.For starters, the fit is impeccable. The tips are larger and more ergonomic than on the original model, and the silicone ends create a great seal in your ears. Apple pulled off a clever trick to make sure they feel as natural to wear as before, using passive vents on the outside of each earbud to help dissipate the pressure between the inside and outside of your ears. This gets rid of the “plugged-up” feeling you can have when wearing earbuds and makes the lightweight buds almost disappear in your ears.
Even the controls are better. Instead of using touch controls like the originals, which could accidentally get pressed when you were adjusting the earbuds, they use pressure sensors in each stem. Squeezing the stems in short or long bursts will play or pause music, change songs, or turn on transparency (ambient sound) mode so you can hear the outside world. They will also auto-pause when you remove one bud, and you can use them one at a time like old-fashioned Bluetooth headsets.

* Air Pods Pro battry life
We’d also never recommend them for Android users. On Android you don’t get any of the great Siri voice functionality, and they don't show you how much battery life is left. Those are big misses, but not ones that Apple probably cares about. Like AirPods, these are mostly meant for iPhone and iPad owners.
The Best AirPods Yet
The AirPods Pro aren’t the best headphones for any one purpose, but if you’re an iPhone owner, they’re a Swiss army knife of sound that might be the best addition to Apple’s hardware empire since the Apple Watch.
Pro still have their faults. They offer only 4.5 hours of battery life with noise canceling on and a scant 30 minutes more with it turned off. That’s low, even compared with the older models. You may believe that this amount of battery life is great, or brush it off because you don’t listen to music for more than 4.5 hours anyway. The real benefit of longer battery life will come in a couple years. A better battery would mean they’ll stay out of the landfill longer.
