Our Verdict
Apple AirPods Pro 2
Devialet Gemini II True Wireless
The Devialet Gemini II True Wireless and the Apple AirPods Pro 2 are both premium buds with different strengths. The Devialet have a companion app with a graphic EQ and presets and support multi-device pairing and the aptX codec, which can help give you better sound quality over Bluetooth. Both buds have a stellar noise isolation performance, though the Devialet reduce more noise passively than the ANC from the mid-range onwards. The AirPods Pro have iOS-centric features like Spatial Audio for a more immersive sound and an H2 chip for seamless pairing with your iPhone or MacBook. They also have a better battery performance.
