The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are a welcome upgrade of the Apple AirPods (2nd generation) Truly Wireless. Their in-ear fit helps make them more stable, and they've significantly improved their audio delivery, though some may find this design less comfortable. Their active noise cancelling feature also works very well and makes them well-suited for commuting or wearing at work. While they're smaller than previous models thanks to their shorter stems, they offer longer battery life and have an easier-to-use touch control scheme.
Our Verdict
The Apple AirPods Pro are decent for neutral sound. They can deliver audio very consistently, and they have a fairly flat and neutral sound profile that's well-suited for a variety of audio content. However, their low bass is a bit underemphasized, so mixes lack thump and rumble. Their passive soundstage also seems small and closed-off due to their in-ear fit.

The Apple AirPods Pro are decent for office use. They're comfortable and block out a good amount of ambient chatter around you. They're very lightweight and comfortable, meaning you can wear them for a full workday without feeling too fatigued. Unfortunately, their battery won't quite last a full day of work, and they take a bit longer than previous models to fully charge, meaning you may need to take a break from your music while they charge.

The Apple AirPods Pro aren't recommended for wireless gaming. They're Bluetooth-only, so they aren't compatible with Xbox or PlayStation consoles. While you can connect them to a Bluetooth-enabled PC, the latency will likely be too high for gaming.
The Apple AirPods Pro are Bluetooth-only headphones, and you can't use them wired.
The Apple AirPods Pro are alright for phone calls. Unfortunately, their integrated mic does a disappointing job of capturing your voice on PCs, so it sounds muffled and a bit distorted. While the mic does a better job of noise handling, it can still be difficult for the person on the other end of the line to hear you clearly if you're in a moderately noisy environment like a busy street. That said, if you're taking a call via iPhone, the mic offers a slightly better noise handling performance when it comes to loud sounds. These headphones also have a great ANC feature, so you can focus on your call.

Test Results
The Apple AirPods Pro are just as sleek and minimalist as earlier models. The stems are now shorter, while the white silicone tips give them a premium look and feel.
The Apple AirPods Pro are comfortable for in-ear headphones. They come with three sizes of silicone tips and don't enter too deep into the ear canal. They're very lightweight and don't pressure on your ears, meaning they're barely noticeable.
Update 11/26/2021: We have changed 'OS Compatibility' from 'iOS' to 'Not OS specific' as the call and music controls work on both Android and iOS devices. However, Android users won't be able to use the voice assistant feature. As a result, we have updated our review to reflect this change.
The Apple AirPods Pro have passable controls. They have an indented 'force sensor' on each stem, but they don't provide any tactile feedback. However, the buds play a sound when you register a command. The controls are very straightforward, and they even work on Android devices, although you can't configure them to activate a non-Siri voice assistant. Although they don't have physical volume controls, you can request Siri to raise or lower the volume. You can also remap the 'Press and Hold' command if you want voice assistant control instead of ANC.
On either stem's force sensor:
- One press: Play or pause audio. Also answers a call.
- Double press: Skips a track forward. Also declines a call and sends it directly to voicemail.
- Triple press: Skips a track backward.
- Press and hold: Cycles between ANC on and transparency mode, which allows you to hear your surroundings without turning off your audio.
- Say 'Hey Siri': Activates Siri voice assistant. This command only works on iOS devices though.
Like most in-ear headphones, the Apple AirPods Pro don't trap heat inside your ears, making them a suitable option for sports. You won’t notice a temperature difference when wearing them and won’t sweat more than usual.
Lightweight and smaller than previous models, the Apple AirPods Pro are very portable and should easily fit into most bags or pockets without too much of an issue, even when they're in their carrying case.
Update 12/14/2021: Apple silently released a new variant of these headphones, which have a case that's compatible with the MagSafe wireless charger. We tested the original variant, which have a case that doesn't support this technology. However, there otherwise isn't any difference between this model and our model.
Update 11/26/2021: After testing the Apple AirPods (3rd generation) Truly Wireless, we noticed that the scoring of the Pro's case needed to be re-evaluated. The case feels great, but there are similar cases that are as good, if not better than this one. While it's small, lightweight, and supports wireless charging, our model doesn't support MagSafe charging, although Apple now retails a variant that comes with this feature. The one indicator light doesn't do much to tell you the level of the case or buds either. As a result, we're lowering the scoring of this test from 9.0 to 8.5.
Their case is excellent. It's extremely small and portable, measuring only slightly larger than previous models. It should also protect the headphones well against minor falls and scratches, but not against water damage. Like the Apple AirPods (2nd generation) Truly Wireless, it has a Lightning port so that you can charge it with the included cable. It also supports Qi wireless charging. In 2021, Apple released a new variant of these headphones, which come with a carrying case that supports MagSafe Wireless charging. However, we tested the original model, which doesn't have this feature.
The Apple AirPods Pro have a great build quality. They're made from high-quality plastic and should be able to survive a couple of accidental drops without too much damage. Unlike the Apple AirPods (2nd generation) Truly Wireless, these headphones are also certified IPX4 for protection against splashes of water.
Update 12/03/2021: After user feedback and online reports, we've reevaluated their stability. While they still performed well on our stability test, we've lowered their score from 8.0 to 7.5 because many users report having a different experience.
The Apple AirPods Pro have good stability. They don't have stability fins but should stay in place when you're walking around and during light workouts. That said, their stability can vary depending on the user. There are a lot of online reports from people who say their AirPods wiggle out of place very easily when they go out for a walk or even talk while wearing them.

The Apple AirPods Pro have a fairly neutral sound profile, suitable for a variety of audio content. While they struggle to produce thump and rumble, they lack less bass than the Apple AirPods (2nd generation) Truly Wireless, which have an open-back design. Unfortunately, they lack sound customization features to help adjust their sound to your liking.
The Apple AirPods Pro's frequency response consistency is outstanding. Assuming you achieve a proper fit with the included tips, you should experience the same sound reproduction every time you use the headphones.
The Apple AirPods Pro's bass accuracy is excellent. Thanks to their closed-back design, they don't have as severe low-bass issues like the Apple AirPods (1st generation) Truly Wireless and Apple AirPods (2nd generation) Truly Wireless. However, the response is still a bit under our target curve, meaning some people may feel like they're a bit light on the low-bass.
The Apple AirPods Pro have excellent mid accuracy. There's a bit of overemphasis coming from the bass range into the low-mid, which somewhat clutters your mixes. However, the rest of the range is very flat and neutral, so vocals and lead instruments are present and detailed.
The Apple AirPods Pro have excellent treble accuracy. While the response is slightly underemphasized across the range, it's still fairly even. Vocals and lead instruments are slightly veiled, while sibilants like cymbals are a bit dulled, though.
These headphones have excellent peaks and dips performance that's fairly flat and even. There's a small peak in the low-mid, which slightly clutters vocals and lead instruments, but it's unequally distributed between the left and right drivers. There's also a small dip between the low to mid-treble, which dulls sibilants, but this shouldn't be too noticeable to most listeners.
The Apple AirPods Pro's stereo imaging is great. The group delay graph shows it's under the audibility threshold, resulting in a tight bass and treble reproduction. The L/R drivers of our unit are also well-matched in frequency, and phase response, which is important for the accurate placement and localization of objects and instruments (like voices and footsteps) in the stereo image. Although there's a small bump in the phase response's low-mid, it may be hard to hear with real-life content. There's also a very minor mismatch in amplitude, but most people wouldn't notice it with real-life content as well. Note that these results are only valid for our unit, and yours may perform differently.
The Apple AirPods Pro have a bad passive soundstage, which is to be expected from in-ears. One important factor for creating an out-of-head and speaker-like soundstage is the activation of the outer ear by different resonances. Since in-ears bypass the outer ear altogether, their soundstage is perceived as being small and enclosed in your head. If you prefer a slightly more spacious in-ear experience, try out the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live Truly Wireless, which feature a semi-open design.
The Apple AirPods Pro have a spatial audio feature, but it's only available on iOS/iPadOS 14 or later. You can turn this feature on and off by going into your iPhone's Bluetooth settings. Turning this feature on also turns on head tracking, which reorients the virtual soundstage to follow your head movements.
The Apple AirPods Pro's weighted harmonic distortion performance is great. It results in a clean and pure audio reproduction, and the bump in the treble range shouldn't be audible for most people. There isn't a big jump under heavier loads either, which is good.
These are the settings we used to test these headphones, and our results are only valid using this configuration.
Update 11/01/2021: Apple has released multiple firmware updates since we last updated this review, and we decided to retest everything. While most results match our original measurements, 'Noise Isolation' has changed. After updating to firmware update 4A400, the headphones' noise isolation performance has slightly declined across the range, and the overall attenuation dropped from '-23.01 dB' (measured using update 2C54) to '-21.31 dB'. We did a fit test between each of our passes to ensure the best possible seal. We also compared these results with a subjective evaluation of one of our coworker's own Apple AirPods Pro, and our unit performed similarly to this pair. Our results now reflect firmware update 4A400, and the scoring of this box has changed.
The noise isolation of these headphones is great. They perform somewhat similarly to the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Truly Wireless in the bass range and do a great job isolating the low rumble of bus or plane engines, making them good for commuting. Their mid-range performance is also solid, making them excellent for blocking out ambient chatter. Their weakest isolation performance is in the treble range, though this is the least important for most situations, and they still do a good job. That said, if you're looking for an even better noise isolating performance, check out the Apple AirPods Max Wireless.
Note: We've tested 'Noise Isolation' with a couple of other firmware updates. We didn't get noticeable differences with firmware update 2B588, released in November 2019. Apple may have tweaked the ANC in this update, but not enough to noticeably impact the overall performance. There have also been user reports that the ANC became worse after firmware update 2C54, released in December 2019. After updating this firmware, our results showed a fairly significant drop in isolation performance, primarily in the bass range. This means that with ANC turned on, they won't do nearly as good a job blocking out the low engine rumbles of planes or buses as they did before this update. Our latest retest uses firmware update 4A400, released in October 2021, which shows that their overall noise isolation performance has been further weakened.
The Apple AirPods Pro have a great leakage performance. They leak the most sound in the treble range, meaning the leaking sounds thin. It's unlikely that these headphones should bother those around you.
Update 11/26/2021: Due to user interest, we have retested 'Recording Quality' and 'Noise Handling' to see if there's a difference in performance between Bluetooth AAC and SBC codecs. Our testing PC doesn't support AAC, which is the license-free standard for Apple devices. However, we conducted this microphone retest while the headphones were placed on our test head and connected to an iPhone 11, which supports AAC. To retest 'Recording Quality', we played the same 'Recorded Speech' audio clip through our test head. While Bluetooth codecs aren't the sole factor in microphone performance, using the AAC codec, the voice sounds clearer than when connected to our test PC and using SBC codec. You can hear our results here.
For 'Noise Handling', we played the 'Speech + Pink Noise' and 'Speech + Subway Noise' audio clips. Using the AAC codec, we didn't notice much of a difference in performance when it comes to blocking out pink noise from speech. That said, the mic can block more loud noise in the subway recording when connected to an iPhone versus a PC. However, it also cuts out some speech in the process.
We have updated our review, but there hasn't been a change in the scoring of our microphone tests. To ensure comparability between different reviews, we test the mic of Bluetooth headphones using SBC codec as it's almost universally used by these devices.
The recording quality of the Apple AirPods Pro's microphone is disappointing. Recorded speech lacks body and sounds muffled as well as distorted, though you should still be able to make out what's being said.
The noise handling of the Apple AirPods Pro's microphone is passable. It struggles to separate your voice from ambient noise, even in moderately noisy environments like a busy street. You shouldn't have a problem in a quieter space like at home, though.
The Apple AirPods Pro have an alright battery performance. They last over five hours on a single charge with their ANC on, which isn't as long as the Sony WF-1000XM4 Truly Wireless. Luckily, their carrying case offers five additional charges if you need it. They charge very quickly, and they're even advertised to give you three to four hours of continuous playback on a half-hour charge. They even come with a standby mode that activates when they detect that they aren't in your ears to conserve battery life. However, battery life varies depending on usage, and your real-life experience may vary. If you're looking for truly wireless headphones with even longer continuous battery life, consider the Samsung Galaxy Buds+ Truly Wireless.
The Apple AirPods Pro don't have a companion app, just a settings screen on iOS devices. They have slightly more customization options than the Apple AirPods (2nd generation) Truly Wireless, with ANC and transparency mode toggle, and the ability to change long-press on each earbud to either ANC control or Siri activation. The settings screen also allows you to do a Fit Tip Test to help find which size tips give the best fit, though we had mixed results. There are no customization options for Android devices. However, if you do prefer having a bit of customization, check out the Amazon Echo Buds Truly Wireless and their 3-band EQ or the Anker SoundCore Liberty Air 2 Truly Wireless with their 20 available presets.
The Apple AirPods Pro have fair Bluetooth connectivity. They don't support multi-device or NFC pairing. However, like the Beats Fit Pro True Wireless, they have an H1 chip that allows you to seamlessly pair them with other devices in your Apple ecosystem. They also have low latency on iOS and Android devices, which is great if you stream video. However, their latency is higher on PCs, so you may encounter slight issues with audio and visual synching. Some apps and devices compensate for latency differently, though, so your real-life experience may vary. If you want more gaming-oriented, truly wireless headphones for non-iOS devices, check out the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless 2021.
You can't use these headphones wired, which is expected with truly wireless headphones. They charge via the included USB-C to Lightning cable, and the manufacturer doesn't include a charging power brick in the box.
These headphones are fully compatible with Bluetooth-enabled PCs. However, you can't connect them to your PC in any other way.
The Apple AirPods Pro's charging case is very premium-feeling and is rather small considering its battery capacity. It charges via Apple's Lightning port or any wireless Qi charging pad. However, only the newer model of these headphones support MagSafe charging.
Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The Apple AirPods Pro come in one color variant: 'White'. That said, in 2021, Apple released an upgraded variant of these headphones that come with a MagSafe-compatible charging case. There wasn't an advertised change to the performance of the headphones, though. We tested the original variant, and their carrying case doesn't support this feature. However, we expect this variant to otherwise perform similarly to our model.
This review also currently reflects the performance of our original unit, which we don't have anymore. That said, we've purchased a second model, which matches the performance of our first unit. If there's a difference in performance during future retests, we will update the review accordingly. You can see our new unit's label here.
If you come across another variant of these headphones, please let us know in the discussions.
Compared To Other Headphones
The Apple AirPods Pro are solid truly wireless earbuds that look and feel premium as well as a great ANC feature. Their sound reproduction may not be as good as some similarly-priced options from competitors, but they're a big improvement over the Apple AirPods (2nd generation) Truly Wireless. They also have an H1 chip so that you can seamlessly pair them with your Apple devices and newer models have a carrying case that supports MagSafe wireless charging.

On the other hand, the non-intrusive fit of the AirPods 2 may be more comfortable for some people, and they charge much quicker.
The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are slightly better in-ears than the Jabra Elite 85t Truly Wireless. The Apple have a virtual soundstage feature, a significantly better noise isolation performance, and an H1 chip for seamless pairing with Apple devices. However, the Jabra can be paired with up to two devices at a time, and their companion app offers a graphic EQ and presets to help adjust their sound to your liking.
The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are better overall in-ear headphones than the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2. The Apple are more comfortable, have a better-balanced and more neutral sound profile, and their ANC is more effective at reducing background noise. Their battery life is also longer, and their charging case provides two additional charges over that of the Sennheiser. However, the Sennheiser have a slightly better performing microphone.
The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are better in-ears than the OnePlus Buds Pro Truly Wireless. While both headphones are comfortable, the Apple feel more premium and have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer. They also have a significantly better noise isolation performance, a better continuous battery life, and have an H1 chip for seamless pairing with Apple devices. However, the OnePlus have a better overall microphone performance.
The Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless and the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are two very different headphones. Some may prefer the comfort of over-ears while some would prefer the portability of a truly wireless design. When it comes to noise isolation, both are great, but the Sony are better in this regard thanks to their amazing ANC feature. On the other hand, the Apple are more neutral-sounding and are noticeably more stable and breathable, which is great for sports.
The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are significantly better earphones than the Apple EarPods. The EarPods have an open-back earbud design that delivers very little bass and isolates hardly any noise.

The SoundSport also sound a bit more neutral with a more accurate bass performance.
The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless and the Plantronics Voyager 5200 Bluetooth Headset are designed for different uses. The Voyager 5200 is a mono Bluetooth headset that isn't meant for listening to music, while the Apple are truly wireless headphones designed for listening to music. The microphone on the Voyager does a much better job at handling noise, and the app gives you a ton of customization options for phone calls. On the other hand, the Apple come with a charging case, and two earbuds so you can listen to stereo music. Their sound profile is also much better-balanced for music.
The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are better headphones for most uses than the Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro Truly Wireless. The Apple are more comfortable and better-built. They also have a more neutral sound profile out-of-the-box, better battery performance, and can isolate more noise. However, the Anker have a graphic EQ and presets to help customize their sound profile.
The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are better for mixed usage than the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live Truly Wireless. The Apple in-ears are more comfortable, feel sturdier, provide a more consistent and neutral listening experience, and have a superior ANC system. However, the Samsung have a far more comprehensive companion app, generate a more spacious and open listening experience, and provide much lower wireless latency. They also last longer off of a single charge, though the Apple have a longer total battery life, with twice the number of extra charges in their carrying case.
While both sound very well-balanced and isolate a lot of noise, the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless will be better truly wireless earbuds for most people than the Jabra Elite 65t Truly Wireless. While the Jabra have more customization options on both Android and iOS, the Apple are more comfortable, and their ANC helps them isolate even more noise in the bass range, which is important when commuting.
The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are better headphones than the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro. The Apple are better-built and have a more comfortable fit. They also have a more neutral sound profile, and their active noise cancelling does a better job of isolating noise around you. However, the Razer's mic offers a significantly better recording quality, and their companion app offers a graphic EQ and presets.
The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are better truly wireless headphones than the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless. The Apple are more comfortable and also have a great ANC feature that blocks ambient noise. They also have a more neutral out-of-the-box sound profile. The Sennheiser look a bit more high-end and barely leak any noise at high volume. They also have volume control, which the Apple lack.
The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are better than the Skullcandy Indy ANC True Wireless. The Apple are better-built and more comfortable. Also, their sound profile is more neutral and balanced, and they have better noise isolation. However, if you prefer a bass-heavy sound, you may like the Skullcandy instead.
The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are slightly better truly wireless in-ears than the JBL LIVE 300TWS Truly Wireless. The Apple look a lot more premium, feel a bit more durable, last longer off a single charge, and hold more charges in their case. They block much more background noise thanks to their ANC feature, and their sound profile isn't quite as bass-heavy, though they don't have a companion app for EQ options like the JBL. The JBL also have a better mic recording quality and may represent better value to some people.
The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are significantly better headphones than the Sennheiser CX 400BT True Wireless.
