Since the first generation launched, I’ve always said that AirPods Pro are Apple’s best product.

If you use an iPhone or any other Apple device, pairing it with AirPods Pro takes the experience to another level. It is so seamless and reliable that once you get used to it, you cannot go back to anything else.

There is something special about taking out your iPhone, popping in an earbud, and knowing that by the time it is in your ear, your phone call or your music has already transferred over. That level of trust in the product, and the way everything works, is what makes Apple so hard to beat.

Even beyond the convenience of switching between devices, the quality of the earbuds themselves is fantastic. The active noise cancellation blocks out everything around you the moment you put them in. It genuinely feels like the outside world goes quiet.

I mostly use mine for phone calls and podcasts while I work, and they handle that perfectly. The battery life on the AirPods Pro 3 is also impressive. Even with heavy use, I only need to charge them once a week, thanks to the charging case.

What stands out even more is that this level of praise is not only for the latest model. Even the first-generation AirPods Pro, released six years ago, still perform really well. That says a lot about the long-term value.

If you use Apple products, AirPods are essential…

And for me, the AirPods Pro 3 is the best product Apple makes.
