![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Third-party fins/hooks (opens in new tab) that make the fit even more secure are also now fairly widely available and have been tried and liked by members of the review team.Īpple supplies just three pairs of tips, with two of those hidden beneath a flap at the bottom of the box. Some people may manage to shake them loose, but they are much more secure in place than the original AirPods. They are so light (5.4g each) and comfortable that they can give the impression of not being secure, but they refuse to budge in action. The AirPods Pro generally stay in the ears well when running. You get five hours in the earbuds, with a further 19 hours with the compact charging case. They're not as sports-focused as rivals such as the Bose Sport Earbuds and Beats Fit Pro, but running in the rain is all good. The squeezes are fiddly to perform, particularly when running or cycling, which you may well do with the AirPods Pros thanks to their sweat- and water-resistance. However, we’re not completely convinced by this approach. A quick squeeze on either stem pauses or resumes a track (or answers an incoming call), a double-squeeze skips forward, a triple-squeeze skips back and a long squeeze switches between noise-cancelling modes. Where the original AirPods responded to taps to the body, the AirPods Pro's controls are located in the stems, which now contain force sensors (a design trait the new AirPods have also copied). The Pro's stem was shorter than the original AirPods' one when they arrived, making them less conspicuous when worn, but now the AirPods 3 has mimicked that shorter-stem design. That main body is chunkier, too – presumably to accommodate the extra components. Most obvious is the silicone tip of the Pro model, which is shorter in length than on many in-ear headphones and elliptical rather than round. While there’s no denying the familial similarities between the AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro – the glossy white finish, protruding stem and bulbous body – there are clear differences, too. With a lighter and more discreet design, the AirPods Pro offer a more secure fit than before. ![]()
