AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
Loved by Select editors and experts alike, the second generation of Apple’s AirPods Pro are designed to provide a richer sound experience, thanks to smarter noise cancellation and more immersive sound than its predecessor, according to the brand. It includes four sizes of silicone tips, ranging from XS to L, to allow for a more customized fit.
Plus, you can adjust audio settings directly on the earbuds, swiping the stem to adjust volume or pressing on the pod to pause or play your music. These AirPods also exceed their previous model in battery life: They now offer up to six hours of listening time, and 30 hours of total listening time with the charging case, says Apple. And, if you’re concerned about misplacing your AirPods, no worries — they have a built-in speaker that will emit a loud sound with the use of the Find My App, making them easier to locate.
