With an Active Noise Cancellation system for impressive sound, case compatible with MagSafe charger and transparency mode that allows you to hear and stay in touch with your surroundings.
The Apple AirPods Pro are aimed at people who frequently use headphones for music, TV, phone calls, or other activities where high-quality sound is required. Specifically, the AirPods Pro are designed for music and podcast enthusiasts who seek quality sound and simultaneously wish to isolate themselves from ambient noise. Additionally, the AirPods Pro offer ergonomic fit and comfort for prolonged use, feature built-in noise cancellation technology, and bidirectional sound mode for a better phone call experience.
*MagSafe charger not included.
Compatibility
The AirPods Pro are compatible with any device that has Bluetooth. However, some of their key features do not work on Android devices and generally those that do not have iOS. For example, you cannot use Siri, you cannot listen with just one earbud, and battery monitoring is not possible. Additionally, pairing requires a few extra steps. On the other hand, Active Noise Cancellation and gestures are available even when using the earbuds with Android devices.
Active Noise Cancellation for impressive sound
A microphone facing outward detects external sounds. The AirPods Pro then counter them with corresponding noise cancellation, canceling out external sounds before you even hear them. A microphone facing inward listens inside your ear for any unwanted sounds, which are also eliminated with noise cancellation.
Transparency Mode
Do you want to hear what's happening around you? Simply press and hold the power sensor on the stem to switch from Active Noise Cancellation to Transparency mode, which allows external sounds to be heard, giving you a natural audio sense of the surrounding environment when talking to people nearby.
Sound Quality
Enjoy superior sound quality with the Adaptive Equalizer, which automatically enhances the music according to the shape of your ear, offering you a rich and uniform listening experience.
Unmatched comfort
The AirPods Pro feature three soft tips made of flexible silicone that keep them securely in place, and additionally help isolate external sounds.
H1 processor
The Apple-designed H1 chip uses 10 audio cores, creating incredibly low audio processing latency that enables real-time noise cancellation. The System in Package design is meticulously arranged, with each component placed based on the shape of the human ear, thereby maximizing comfort, fit, and stability.
24-hour battery life
The Wireless Charging Case provides over 24 hours of battery life to keep you on the move with your AirPods Pro. Additionally, it is compatible with Qi-certified chargers.
Automatic Setup
The AirPods Pro automatically connect to all your Apple devices. They connect simultaneously to the iPhone and the Apple Watch, and the audio switching between devices happens automatically.

The amount I regret buying them is indescribable. On the positive side, the sound is excellent, after all, it is an Apple product. The case is practical, although a bit heavier compared to other models. The connectivity is immediate, and if you have an iPhone, you can set them up as you wish. The noise cancellation works satisfactorily, but if you stop the music, you feel a sense of "clogging" in your ears, which personally bothers me. The big downside, however, is their application. They easily fall out of the ears and are very uncomfortable to use. I wish I had chosen the simple model, without the earpads, as I believe it would have suited me better.
I bought them in August 2022 and with minimal use (I would say not even 40 hours in the last two years). Recently, I decided to use them again continuously, and no matter what I do (whatever Apple Support said), the left earbud constantly shows that it's charging and cannot function. Of course, since two years have passed, there is no warranty, and the stores are asking for 110 euros for the replacement of one earbud while new earbuds cost 200 euros. I give 2 stars only for the sound quality. Aside from that, I am completely disappointed with Apple
The best purchase I have ever made
owner of the previous model AirPods from 2016
Incredible ANC on a recent trip on a plane, I didn't even hear the takeoff or the noise levels.
Very satisfied, worth every euro.
UPDATE 13/09
After almost 1 month of use, suddenly the right earbud broke and I have to take it for service.
When I picked them up from the store, the warranty was not there, it had expired.
I contacted Apple and they renewed it for me, but if they hadn't done it, today as we speak, the earbuds would be useless.
And that's it. MINUS for the store, meaning to buy the product thinking it has a warranty and in reality, it has EXPIRED.
Unacceptable and I am lowering my rating for the store to stars
Extremely good headphones, however after a period of time there may be issues with noise cancellation. Moreover, the battery could have a longer duration. Additionally, the sound quality is quite satisfactory although I believe the price is quite high, which is why I wouldn't give it five stars
I just ordered these headphones because I had the 2nd generation AirPods and I wanted noise cancellation. I have to say that the sound is very good and the bass is also good, it's worth the money
Good sound quality, good noise cancellation (but not as good as Sony headphones for example). The connection with my Android phone is generally good. I downloaded an app to show the battery percentage. The only problem is with the left earbud: many times it doesn't start charging when I put it in the case. This results in it staying connected to the phone even when I have closed the earbud case. This creates a problem when I try to make a call from the phone (no sound), but the main issue is that the battery of the left earbud drains. From what I have seen, others have the same problem. Unacceptable for such expensive earbuds! Also, after about a year, the earbud tips don't fit as well in the ears anymore and the Apple application (on iPad) suggests that I replace them!
Update: Searching, I found on a website (in English) a tip for the earbud problem: using a toothbrush, I cleaned the contacts inside the case (for the left earbud) and it seems to be working well. After a few days, the problem appeared again, but I cleaned it again and it's okay. It seems that from the manufacturing, the contacts of the left earbud don't make good contact, so even the slightest dirt prevents it from charging. Luckily, there is a solution with the toothbrush, because I didn't feel like sending them to Apple and being without earbuds for who knows how long.
I have bought these headphones a month ago, I considered them expensive and that's why I chose similar products from other equally reliable companies. In the last two years, I have bought 4-5 pairs worth each from 80-120€ without being satisfied in the end. I'm sorry I didn't trust them earlier. The sound isolation is IMPRESSIVE, the speaker hears you crystal clear as if you are in a closed room. The connection with the mobile is immediate and the application is comfortable. The battery lasts long enough, I use them all day and I will charge them every two days without needing to, just to be sure. I wouldn't change them for anything!
If you want to do your job, you can do it with €20 headphones.
If you want better sound quality, microphone, connectivity, ANC, etc., and if these comforts are worth the extra €100 to you, then go for it. Important, try them on first to see if their shape suits you. They come with 3 sizes of "cushions" in the box.
EDIT: After 6+ months of daily intensive use, the headphones are still flawless in every aspect. They were purchased for €175, but I don't think they are worth €200-€250.
I got them for 180€. They are clearly the best headphones I have ever worn. Great noise cancellation, perfect microphone, incredible transparency mode, and amazing sound with very good bass. I highly recommend them.
I have had them for 6 months and have drawn my conclusions. First time using Apple earphones and I am fully satisfied with the collaboration and ecosystem they have created. Sound quality is very good, definitely more than enough in terms of volume and quality, but you can find better at this price point (I would have liked better bass). Battery is not an issue, both for the earphones and their case. The features are here and they are what we pay for. Noise cancellation is almost excellent, 70% on a busy street and unbelievable inside the house. Transparency mode is also very useful and accurate. Comfort and fit are very good, especially after changing the ear tips, they don't press on your ears and fit well. Finally, calls are easy to make and I sound good and hear well, even in noisy environments. The gestures on each earphone are also useful and convenient after a while.
Conclusion: They are not worth it now, get the 2 with closed eyes, which I also have and are a level above the 1, and I will write a review for both. But I don't want to bury the 1, they are very good for the "first" Pro that the company released.
I've had the headphones for about a month now. I had my concerns before buying them, about noise cancellation and their fit in my ears. The noise cancellation does make a big difference, especially compared to the regular airpods I had before. However, it's not perfect. In the subway, with open windows, you can still hear the "squeaky" sound of the rails in the background, as well as the engines of cars on busy streets. They cancel out more of the low-frequency noise. Without music playing, with the cancellation on, I can comfortably hear what's being said around me. But when music is playing at around 50% volume, you can't hear anything else besides what I mentioned.
The fit worked out well for me, thankfully. With glasses and a mask, after an hour of use, I may feel some fatigue or pain in the ear wing, but overall it's okay. It took me about a week to get completely used to them, as they have a different shape (besides the ear tips) than the regular airpods.
The sound and battery are at an exceptional level, there will surely be better options, but in any case, they are above average. Rich bass, crystal clear sound, and with the cancellation, it goes to another level. Perhaps the mid-notes are a bit pitched. I never had an issue with the battery, it never ran out on me. What I noticed is that the case may need to be charged a bit more frequently than the cases of the previous airpods.
We don't need to repeat ourselves about connectivity and ease of use, we all know what the Apple ecosystem means. The spatial sound is very pleasant, although personally, I have it turned off, except for specific audio files and some movies maybe. For everyday use, it's not even worth discussing, it's a gimmick, it didn't change my experience at all.
The headphones are worth 4.5 stars, but let's not break our hearts, they are so user-friendly and reliable that they win a lot from that.
Excellent headphones! Personally, I have not heard better music quality in headphones. Bass, fidelity, clear sound even at high levels. Very lightweight, they don't fall off during exercise. The noise cancellation is incredible. You don't even realize you have them in your ears. The battery life is moderate. Overall, the best headphones I have ever tried.
Generally, I read reviews that say the related products work well, but for me they don't work well at all in the ear, as I have tried all sizes of the silicone ear tips provided by Apple and they fall out of my ear at the slightest movement. Fortunately, I purchased a protective case that came with a rubber band that goes behind the neck and keeps my AirPods in place when they fall out. In terms of sound quality, it reminds me of the classic handsfree with the Apple cable, and sometimes it loses quite a few frequencies, mainly in the bass. On the positive side, I can find the menu they have through the settings on my iPhone, meaning you can adjust many things from there regarding the features that the headphones offer, such as enabling or disabling something you want, like noise cancellation. Speaking of features, they offer active noise cancellation, which impressed me because it really works, and the Transparency mode is also good. It's nice that the case supports MagSafe charging, but the battery is mediocre for a Pro model. Finally, for me, they would be worth 100€ at most, 150€ tops, but for 200€, it's not worth it. In summary, in my opinion, the features they offer are good, but they didn't work well for me personally in application to my ear. (Device used: iPhone 13 Pro)
For this specific problem, the headphones have been replaced 4 or 5 times.
I don't think the battery life of the headphones and case is great overall. Personally, I'm disappointed because I paid 249 euros for them.
I didn't expect such a perfect fit in the ear. You forget you're wearing them. They connect everywhere and switching between devices is automatic and immediate. I have nothing negative to say.
Having gone through various high-end Bluetooth headphone companies, I can confidently say that their positives are:
1. Battery life
2. Surround sound
3. Design
4. Connectivity
Their negatives are:
1. I feel like some frequencies, especially bass, are cut off
2. Sometimes there are distortions in the sound (when playing music/movies)
3. I experienced a strange issue where one earbud didn't play without warning, which made me worry about a defective product. It was fixed after charging it.
Edit for 3: It seems that if the case doesn't have a battery, the earbuds can't pair even if they have a full battery. So every time you want to connect your earbuds, you need to have the case close by and sufficiently charged (even 1-2%).
Overall, they are decent, but they could be a bit more affordable considering what they offer.
It has been replaced for the 4th time by the headphones' representative because during the check for proper application in my ear, it produces poor fit resulting in poor quality. In terms of construction quality, it is very good. At 249 euros that I bought them and after so many replacements because they produce errors, I regret buying them at such a high price.
After a year, my right earphone makes a cracking sound when I listen to music at 100%, while it fades at 80%. No solution. Also, the mediocre application is not suitable for exercising, as they are not stable and obviously overpriced.
First update (2 days after purchase):
It's great. The ANS is insane, I went on a trip with friends and when I wore them I couldn't hear anything even without music. The sound quality is very good, they fit perfectly and the overall quality is good. Of course, the negative is the case, where the lid is a bit loose and clicks when you move it left and right as if it hasn't been assembled well.
Edit (5 months later):
I wear them to the gym every day, they don't fit very well and I have to make adjustments. Outside the gym, they don't stay in place after two minutes of conversation because the jaw moves and I assume it moves outward. I've tried everything but nothing works. As for calls, the other person can hardly hear you if you're anywhere other than a quiet room. You either have to shout or put the earpiece in front of your mouth to be heard. The battery life is very good, and the connection is good. The sound quality is excellent but the ANS has become bad, especially after a wave of downgrades that affected all of Apple's headphones in noise cancelation. Disappointed for the money I spent but what can we do haha. We'll talk again in a few months.
I bought these specific headphones because of my purchase of the iPhone 12. The noise cancellation is exceptional, especially in high noise conditions. I tested them in a woodworking factory while all the machines were running, and I was surprised by their performance in reducing loud noises. The transparency feature is also amazing, and I didn't expect it to be so effective. The headphones can be very comfortable if you find the right ear cushions and fit for you. Regarding battery life, I'm not very impressed because unfortunately, they need to be charged (with my usage) every two days, which is why I give them 4 stars instead of 5. Having come from headphones of almost the same category (Galaxy Buds Live), I can say that it's worth spending a little extra for better headphones.
According to general consensus, 190 euros for headphones is not considered a smart purchase. However, since you get what you pay for, after going through various cheap Chinese ones that would break within 2 months, I was forced to invest in these. They are in a different league when it comes to sound quality, comfort, material quality, and most importantly, durability. I emphasize the latter because in the second week of having them, I dropped the right earbud into the bottom of the sea. I rinsed it with plain water and 3 days later it was as good as new. And they are not even waterproof. I use them for hours at work just in my ear and at the gym with music. They never tire me out, the sound and noise cancelling are top-notch. In conversation, it's crystal clear for both you and the person you're talking to. I believe that if your headphones are useful on a daily basis, it's a one-way street to spend this kind of money to have peace of mind and not constantly go through the process of buying new ones.
After many faulty AirPods 3 replacements, I ended up with the AirPods Pro. I don't regret it at all. I wasn't used to preferring silicone earbuds, but these didn't disappoint as they are of good quality and don't bother or heat up the ear. If someone is torn between the two, they should definitely choose the Pro as the 3 have a rather uncomfortable fit in the ear.
Classic apple product. High quality but the price is steep. If you have an iPhone and the budget allows, it's worth it just for how beautifully they connect with each other.
So, I'm here to shed some light on this... GENUINE!! The ear application is really good, I didn't expect it to be this good... I won't say much about the headphones, just if you have the financial means, get them!
However, I will tell you about the warranty. When we buy an Apple product from a third-party store, for example, my AirPods that I bought yesterday, the warranty that was displayed on my device said until 17/12/22, which is a 6-month warranty. So, I called Apple Greece and in 5 minutes they updated my purchase date to 10/5/22, and the warranty started from yesterday... so simple!! You should all do it!! Have a good one!!
Noise canceling is the best thing I've tried and it isolates to a great extent in both metro and airplane, allowing you to comfortably listen without needing to increase the volume and burden your ear. Compared to regular AirPods, I had the volume maxed out in the metro and still couldn't hear anything, while with the Pro version, I have it just slightly above half! As for the sound quality, all I can say is that my dad, who is a sound engineer, tried them and said they're one of the best headphones he's ever heard!
