Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation, USB-C)

Overview

Why this one is worth it

These are the earbuds we sell more of than anything else, and the H2 chip is the reason. It cancels roughly twice the noise of the first generation, and it does it without the pressurised feeling cheaper ANC leaves you with on a long flight. Adaptive Audio blends cancelling and Transparency on the fly so you are not tapping between modes all day, Conversation Awareness dips the music the moment you start talking, and the USB-C case charges off the same cable as your phone. Four ear-tip sizes come in the box, which matters more than any spec sheet — a proper seal is what gives you both the bass and the quiet.
