Perfect design meets great sound!
Apple AirPods Pro PRICE: `24,900 RATING: ★★★★★
It’s been a long time coming; but Apple has delivered where it matters the most — superior noise isolation alongside a great design. After being teased and appearing in a few leaks, Apple, in the latter half of 2019 launched the AirPods Pro that are aimed at audio enthusiasts that want nothing but the best in terms of design, performance and functionality.
The AirPods Pro come with massive improvements such as active noise cancellation, a better and snugger fit and last but not least, a new and enhanced design in comparison with the original, 2016 AirPods that should go some way in bringing more iPhone users into its true wireless ecosystem.
In India, the AirPods Pro retail for `24,900 which puts it on the upper-end of the pricing segment for true wireless earphones and this takes away some of its lustre. In a market like India’s, very few true wireless earphones are priced above `20K, which makes Apple's option all the more desirable for tech enthusiasts or cloutseekers.
If you happen to own an iPhone and want to have nothing but the best in what Apple has to offer — snug fit, great audio quality and superior noise cancellation; then the AirPods Pro are an obvious choice for you. Additionally, the new and improved design means that you get an all-encompassing fit that’s unlikely to get easily undone; no matter your ear type. Also, with intuitive controls and easy access to a new ‘Transparency’ feature, you can allow ambient noises to get in without plucking them out from your ears.
If you have used Apple’s original AirPods in the past, then you may not witness a huge learning curve; however, the new touch sensitive controls need a bit of learning which you should master in a couple of days. However, we do recommend learning all the necessary controls as it will improve your overall experience significantly.
The AirPods Pro is designed to perfection and has the Apple ethos running through every single bit of it. This convenience which is oft overlooked ranges from the time its first paired to your iPhone right to it doing a custom scan of your ears to ensure it offer the best possible fit. Apple fans will undoubtedly love each and every aspect of the AirPods Pro making it an ideal purchase for all iPhone owners; or some Android users that want to experience Apple's expertise in the wearable department.
The overall audio quality have improved pretty impressively over the previous version with there being noticeable enhancements in the bass and vocals department. This ensures that fans of popular genres such as HipHop or EDM will greatly enjoy using these earphones. However, those who are fans of other genres won't feel eft out as these sound great as well. While we don't get some major improvements on battery life like some of the competition; Apple does ensure that you get a 4.5-hour playback with active noise cancelling turned on.
The AirPods Pro are a great pair of true wireless earphones and it is definitely a recommended product if you don’t have any cash restraints and want an Apple-designed product. With that being said, there are models like the Sony WF-1000X which offer better noisecancellation and others like the HIFIMAN TWS600 that offer up to 38.5 hours charge in the charging case.
If you happen to own an iPhone and want to have nothing but the best in what Apple has to offer —snug fit, great audio quality and superior noise cancellation; then the AirPods Pro are an obvious choice for you.
