Apple Airpods Pro review - wireless headphones (are they worth $249?)


Apple Airpods Pro - new completely wireless vacuum headphones with active noise cancellation (2019). Continuation of the Airpods line of models, but now in a different design and with new useful features. The model is iconic and once again shook the market (like most Apple products).

Are the Apple Airpods Pro any good and are they worth $249? I’ll look at it below. But the fact that Apple has again made a marketing bomb in the wireless headphone segment is a fact. As a person who uses Android, I can honestly say that these are really special headphones and it’s not all about fancy marketing (although it does make a huge contribution to sales and promotion). Yes Yes. I use the Android system and therefore my opinion was a little more demanding than the author who uses the Apple ecosystem. In general, the review...
