Why we like them

Check out our full review on the AirPods Pro 2.

The latest AirPods Pro dropped just last month, bringing with them an update to their active noise cancellation and battery life. Though their look remains virtually the same (minus the lanyard loop on the MagSafe case), these earbuds are still a worthy upgrade, and experiencing their biggest price drop to date.
