30th Oct 2019
The new Apple AirPods Pros are available to order as of today (30 October 2019).
The Pros have all sorts of new features making them quite different to their predecessors.
These new features include:
- Active Noise Cancellation for immersive sound
- Transparency mode for hearing what's happening around you
- A customisable fit for all-day comfort (choose from three sizes of soft, flexible silicone tips that click into place and conform to your ear shape)
TechRadar's 'Early Verdict' Review:
"The new AirPods Pro have already impressed in a number of ways in our early testing - we need to spend more time assessing them, but already the Pro earbuds feel like a marked step up over the original AirPods."
T3's 'Early Verdict' Review:
"The headline news is that in most ways the Apple AirPods Pro are much better true wireless headphones than the more basic - and, to be fair, £100/$100 cheaper - AirPods."
The Verge's 'Early Verdict' Review:
"As someone who has never been able to fully enjoy the regular AirPods - they just don't fit my ears securely - the in-ear design of the AirPods Pro is super appealing."
