Airpods are undoubtedly the most successful wireless earbuds to ever come out. In fact, Apple has made over $8 billion USD just from airpod sales. When the Airpods came out in 2017, they were revolutionary, as they had the W1 chip, which allowed for seamless pairing with any device that supports Bluetooth headphones. The thing that really made the airpods special was, quite obviously, the fact that they had no wires and were very easy to use.
In late 2019, Apple released the Airpods Pro which had all of the great features of the regular Airpods. The Airpods pro was a complete design overhaul over the regular Airpods, they featured silicon tips, the actual size of the earbud got reduced and the case got slightly bigger but the main feature was the addition of noise-cancelling.
Noise cancelling is not new to earbuds, however, it is very rarely included, as it costs more to implement in an earbud. This revolutionary feature blocks out all outside noises, which allows for a better listening experience.
I would recommend the Airpods or Airpods Pro to anyone who owns an iPhone. In fact, I would recommend any good wireless earbuds to anyone on any mobile platform, as they are just so convenient. The main problem with Airpods and Airpods Pro is their steep price tag, with the regular Airpods coming in at $160 while the Airpods Pro fall around $249.
