Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) Lightning
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Lightning-based AirPods Pro (2nd gen) feature enhanced ANC, adaptive audio, and personalized spatial audio with four tip sizes and touch controls. The Lightning case is less future-proof and lacks an official IP rating. Targeted at Apple users desiring premium ANC and spatial audio while using existing Lightning accessories.
The first-generation AirPods Pro are in-ear earbuds offering active noise cancellation and spatial audio with a compact, sweat-resistant design. They lack fast charging and touch controls, and detailed IP rating is unspecified. Ideal for Apple users seeking ANC without the latest features.
