Design: 

One of the first things you’ll notice about the AirPods Pro is their sleek, compact design. The earbuds themselves are smaller and more streamlined than the AirPods 2, and the stem has been shortened significantly. This makes them more comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and they fit more securely in your ear as well. The AirPods Pro also come with three different sizes of silicone ear tips, so you can find the perfect fit for your ears.

Comfort:

The AirPods Pro are generally considered to be comfortable to wear, both for short and long periods of time. Many people find that the earbuds stay securely in place, even during physical activity, thanks to the customizable fit provided by the silicone ear tips. The earbuds are also relatively lightweight, which helps to reduce fatigue during extended use.

That being said, comfort can be a subjective experience, and what feels comfortable to one person may not feel comfortable to another. Some people may find the earbuds to be a little large or bulky, while others may experience discomfort due to the ear tips not sealing properly. In general, it’s a good idea to try out the earbuds for yourself to see how they feel, especially if you plan on wearing them for long periods of time.

Sound quality:

The sound quality on the AirPods Pro is excellent. The bass is punchy and well-defined, and the treble is clear and detailed. The active noise cancelling feature works well too, effectively blocking out most background noise. In transparency mode, you can hear your surroundings clearly, which is great for when you need to be aware of your surroundings (e.g. when crossing the street).

Connectivity: 

One of the standout features of the AirPods Pro is their ability to automatically switch between devices. Whether you’re using them with your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, the AirPods Pro will automatically connect to the device that you’re using. This is a really convenient feature, especially if you use multiple devices on a regular basis.

Battery life: 

The battery life on the AirPods Pro is also very good. You can expect to get around 4.5 hours of continuous listening on a single charge, and the charging case provides an additional 18 hours of listening time. The charging case also supports wireless charging, so you can charge it up simply by placing it on a wireless charging pad.

Overall, the AirPods Pro are a fantastic set of wireless earbuds. They have a great design, excellent sound quality, and a host of useful features. They’re a bit pricier than the AirPods 2, but in my opinion, they’re well worth the extra cost.
