O verall, the AirPods Pro are hard to beat. Though they’re not quite the best-sounding earbuds on test – that accolade goes to the Technics EAH-AZ70W – they have a very likeable, balanced sound that works well with pretty much anything you listen to, and they work well with movies too. The AirPods Pro don’t just offer good overall sound, they also check a lot of other boxes. The noise cancelling is first rate and the Transparency mode – which enables you to hear what’s going on around you while still listening to music – is exceptional.
