Apple recently officially announced the 'AirPods Pro' which will be available to consumers beginning on October 30th, for a $249 price point. Apple's new AirPods Pro feature a reworked design with active noise cancellation that provides a more focused sound experience. Additionally, the new design is lighter than Apple's previous versions of the AirPods.
The new AirPods Pro also has a new vent system that is able to equalize pressure, which results in a more comfortable listening experience. The new wireless earbuds also have sweat and waterproof design, enabling them to be used during strenuous or outdoor activities.
Additionally, the new pair has a new Transparency Mode, which enables the owner to listen to music while also being able to hear their external environment.
