The 2nd generation pro AirPods from Apple may have hit the shelves almost three years ago, but they remain a popular choice. Though the wireless earbuds have been replaced by the Apple Airpods Pro 3, and technically discontinued by Apple, you can still find them on sale for now. While ancient by the fast-moving standards of tech, we still recommend this older model nearly three years on.
These earbuds offer extra features related to audio quality, noise-cancelling performance and, just as importantly, battery life, which the first generation lacked. The processor offers “personalised spatial audio”, which requires mapping your ear with the iPhone camera for a personalised EQ.
