Autonomy
Audio Quality
The AirPods Pro integrate a high dynamic range amplifier and a long excursion speakers, which allows to offer better sound than the AirPods 2. On our side, we noticed the best in the bass and midrange.
Active noise reduction and Transparency Mode
This active noise reduction reduces exterior noise. It works thanks to an outdoor mic that detects ambient noise and neutralizes it with noise canceling, but also an inward-facing mic that detects unwanted noise and neutralizes it as well.
And the user has the impression of being in his bubble and calm whether it is in the street, a noisy cafe.
AirPods Pro have a built-in Transparency mode, which cuts outside sounds so you can chat naturally with people near you.
Price
AirPods Pro are sold at 279 €, while AirPods 2 with also a wireless charging case are sold 50 € less. But noise reduction noted for pro airpods
