A constantly growing market niche is that of active noise cancellation devices. Always expected, criticized by some and praised by many, everything you ever wanted to know but never dared to ask on the earphones Apple AirPods Pro. Here is our review.
Design
I'm a huge fan of AirPods, very light and truly functional earphones, they sound good and are absolutely comfortable in everyday life.
AirPods Pro inherit these characteristics from the previous ones: portability, comfort e sonority deserve it at high levels, even improved compared to the "base" model.
The earphones are slightly smaller, while the charging case is barely larger than that of classic AirPods, and again it can be recharged through I dig, contained in the package, or via the charging base wireless.
There is a "but": i in-ear pads. They certainly help eliminate some of the outgoing noise, but unfortunately not everyone likes them. Absolutely functional but sometimes uncomfortable, you often find yourself turning the headset to better center it in the ear. Onprolonged listening, for example a 12h flight, I assure you that they can be uncomfortable, almost tending to sore the ear. It is one thing absolutely subjective, but in my opinion, for example, Bose has developed a rubber that is certainly less invasive and more comfortable.
Functionality
As we have said aesthetically they differ slightly from the previous ones, they are shorter and the microphone hole at the bottom is no longer present, one has been added inca part which can be pressed to call up some functions. It will be enough to press this ravages and you will hear a click which simulates the pressure of a button, the great thing is that you will be truly convinced you did, even if the key is not actually there!
Operation is simple, with the rapid pressure we will be able to use the music controls, instead with the prolonged pressure, we are going to activate the noise cancellation or the mode transparency, which allows us to amplify the noises that surround us.
Are you on a plane and want to order a glass of wine? By activating the transparency mode you will hear everything the hostess wants to tell you, in an absolutely crystal clear way.
Noise cancellation
Ladies and gentlemen, there are no words to describe them, they are magical.
You will never believe your ears, such a small, cordless and light object capable of creating nothingness in your ear canal.
Each headset has a microphone which evaluates i external noises in order to generate a counter wave to create the effect of noise cancellation.
Do you think it ended here? Absolutely not. A internal microphone, measure constantly there headset response or what you feel, for good 200 times per second, in order to guarantee you the best possible sound performance. And the great thing is that it works beautifully.
You are in planein train, in the crowd or office? The earphones vi they will isolate very good in all these situations, especially if you will use them to listen to something.
Sometimes the cancellation is too invasive, you get a sort of vacuum effect inside your ear that can be slightly annoying, usually in a very short time this thing vanishes and will certainly be fixed with a software update.
While the grommet probably won't drive you crazy, the AirPods Pro are still spectacular.
How they sound
One word to express the concept, they play WELL.
Deep bass respectable, shrill highs but right that also a maximum volume do not distort and they have a fairly “open” music scene, absolutely great for a pair of earphones.
A low volume are appreciable because of the noise cancellation, to high volume are spectacular because they allow you to hear details that you dream of on the classic AirPods. In short, compared to the previous ones, they sound divinely better.

How They Sound - Nerd Mode ON
Here is what you have been looking forward to! Let's try to analyze the Apple AirPods Pro together, set the maximum volume allowed and listen to some songs contained in my Reference playlist, which you can find on Spotify e Tidal.
For both platforms I recommend set up la best quality possible, in order to have a better listening rating.
Billie Eilish- Bad Guy
Here we can fully appreciate the music scene. At minute 0:02 you can hear a stereo effect that goes up to minute 0:14, you will hear the voice almost whispered closely and the sound of the bass in a different position. Listening is pleasant and not at all tiring throughout the song. At minute 2:30 a deafening bass will make you think they can't hold, but it's actually deliberately soiled and you can hear it in the overlapping voice at minute 2:57 which is perfectly crystal clear. Listening is pleasant throughout the song
Max Richter – Vivaldi The Four Season: Summer 3
A bit of classical is always there, minute 0:30 the violins ringing at the right point, while at minute 1:08 you can hear a crescendo of very distinct instruments. At 1:46, the music scene opens and you can appreciate the stereo sound of the song. At minute 2:50 an almost squeaky "close-up" violin and everything else in the background will make you hear because these earphones are absolutely worth the cost.
Camelphat – Cola
From the beginning it will fill your ears with distinct and spaced sounds. At minute 0:39 the rhythm part begins and you will hear a very soft bass without distortions that will make you appreciate the singing part as well. Throughout the song you will hear distinct and perfectly balanced sounds.
Jessie J – Burnin’ Up
It seems to leave without emotion, almost sterile, but be patient until minute 0:33, a shrill voice and a reproduction of clapping hands. They seem to be more distant than the voice with a noticeable stereophonic effect, all always without the slightest overlap, everything is distinct and feels well separated.
Apple AirPods Pro review: buy them or not?
Given the price of the AirPods Pro, are they really worth it? The answer is definitely yes.
You will not find on the market at the moment, another pair of earphones that sound like this and isolate you with this quality. The only drawback, the rubber pads could be more comfortable.
