ALL AIRPODS MODEL COMPARISION, WHICH IS THE BEST ?
Apple unveiled a new set of AirPods Pro along with the iPhone 14 lineup and the long-rumored Apple Watch Ultra at its "Far Out" event on Wednesday. The new H2 chip, which Apple claims should cancel "up to twice as much noise" as its predecessor, as well as swipe-based controls and a number of other features, will be included in the second-generation AirPods Pro when they ship on September 23. As of this week, the second-generation AirPods, third-generation AirPods, second-generation AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max make up the official AirPods collection. The first-generation AirPods Pro are still available from a variety of merchants, including Amazon, Walmart, and Target, even though Apple no longer sells them.
Although the second-generation AirPods Pro are an improvement over the first generation, are they worth the $249 asking price? That's a difficult issue to answer because there are so many different AirPods available at different pricing points. To make it easier for you to choose which AirPods model could be the best for you, we've compared each one below. The updated AirPods Pro have not yet been reviewed.
