Active Noise Cancellation that continuously adapts to the geometry of your ear and the fit of the ear tips — blocking out the world so you can focus on what you’re listening to.
AirPods are one of my favorite products int he past few years. The new noise canceling feature (for phone/video calls) is worth the purchase for me but also happy to see better Siri integration and the audio-sharing feature.
@rrhoover Any chance reviews/ratings could be disabled for pre-launch products? They're completely meaningless on this product page at the moment seeing as AirPods Pro have yet to ship. Same has happened with other products getting tanked or inflated without having launched.
@jerre_baum why do you say that though? It's not like the AirPods Pro look ugly or anything.

Instabuy. I'm one who's ears aren't actually Airpod shaped, so had to resort to silicone fins etc. to keep the originals in my ears. That took the shine off of the usability, as I had to remove them to put the Airpods back in the case - which is a real pain, but the other ease-of-use aspects made them still worth the hassle.
I've been sniffing around the Sony WF-1000XM3's but am glad I resisted.

@colin_smith_ezchile_ Same here. I clicked buy as soon as I saw the image with the rubber tips. Sadly, I'm more excited about that than the noise cancelling.

@edholloway@hrygrfn Had mine delivered today. Very impressed so far. The ANC is better than I'd hoped for - I was testing them in a kitchen with an extractor fan running, hit ANC and thought for a second there'd been a power cut. The tips are definitely more secure and the larger size of the Airpod body seems to fit my ear a whole lot better. #happyCamper

@hrygrfn@colin_smith_ezchile_ Awesome, thanks for the feedback, and congrats on delivery. Mine are still showing a Nov 5th delivery date :-(
I think these look good, an upgrade from the standard model we've had for a while. Noise cancellation will be fantastic. Only disappointment is the battery life. Less than the non-pro version. For those that frequently use the Airpods microphone for an extended period of time, a boost in battery life on the pro line would have been amazing.

@max_campolo1 Talk time is 3.5 hours on the Pro vs 3 hours on Airpods 2. Listen time is the same, with noise cancelling turned off - and only 30 mins less with it on.
I've never once ran out of battery on my AirPods 1 or 2, so this has never been an issue for me (but maybe it's because they fall out often enough I just out them in the case a lot! )
@edholloway Thanks just saw the stat on the buy page as well, that is good news.

@max_campolo1 Yea, I think apple let the engineers put that table together instead of the marketing team :-) When you look at the full specs on both, the pro looks a little better
