But what’s so great about the bestselling Apple product?
According to one Amazon reviewer, the hearing aid functionality is what puts the Airpods head-and-shoulders above their competitors.

If you’re experiencing mild to moderate hearing loss, then these on-sale headphones can provide hearing assistance that makes ‘voices, music and the sounds around you easier to hear.
A five-minute hearing test will indicate whether or not you’d benefit from setting up the Hearing Aid feature.
If you’re wary about where your test data will end up, then you’ll be pleased to know Apple has assured customers that information will be stored securely and won’t be shared with any third-party apps.
Other reviewers have remarked on transparency mode, writing: “The transparency mode is also a fantastic feature, allowing me to hear my surroundings when needed without having to take them off.”

By toggling on transparency mode, the inward-facing microphone on your Apple AirPods Pro 2 will pick up noises around you while you’re listening to audio.
You can also use Adaptive Audio, which ‘adjusts the noise cancellation for you in response to and based on your surroundings’, as long as you have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS downloaded on your iPhone or iPad.

One reviewer called the listening devices a ‘game-changer for [their] active lifestyle, remarking: “Whether I’m fishing, running, or just on the go, the sound quality is outstanding with high-fidelity audio and great bass.”
A second titled their review: “Best noise cancelling (both ends of a call), great volume, and they stay in my ears. The trifecta.”
“If you are after complete noise cancellation, you cannot go wrong with the AirPods Pro 2! I have had MANY earbuds and these are by far, the absolute best I have every experienced,” echoed someone else.

“I have very tiny ear canals, so I haven't been able to use previous versions because they do not stay in my ears but these stay secure and tight without hurting. I do not use the noise cancellation often because when I wear them, I want to know of things happening around me (like bike riding, working in the office, etc.), but I am super excited to try them on the plane next time I fly!!!!”

What other features do the Apple AirPods Pro 2 have?
The tech giant writes that this iteration of the gadget has improved the quality of overall sound, especially during calls.

If you’re listening to music and your friend starts blowing up your cell, then the Conversation Awareness feature will automatically lower the volume of what’s playing in your ears.
There’s also a higher level of Touch control compared to earlier models - simply swipe, press and hold the earbud stem to toggle.
Siri Interactions are also in play. If you don’t want to hear a message or answer a call, a wearer just has to shake their head, and Apple Artificial Intelligence will pick up on the movement.
