Apple AirPods 5 Review: Better Than Before but Not Quite Pro
Published · 1 min read
Apple's latest AirPods 5 feature built-in active noise cancellation (ANC) across both models, making them more affordable than previous versions.
The wireless charging case model, priced at $149, offers an extra hour of battery life on the earbuds and two hours with the case. While the AirPods 5 provide good ANC and integrate well with Apple's ecosystem, the AirPods Pro 3 still offer superior noise cancellation, a more secure fit, and additional features like heart-rate sensing and hearing aid compatibility, making them a better choice for frequent travelers and active users. The AirPods 5 are recommended for casual users and those who prefer an open-ear design, while the Pro 3 is the preferred option for those who prioritize advanced features and a snug fit.
