Apple AirPods Max vs AirPods Pro: Which is better?

Apple 's AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) and AirPod Max are the two priciest versions of Apple ’s earbuds.

Both offer excellent noise-cancellation options and instant pairing with Apple devices.

The Max are an excellent pair of headphones for just about any kind of audio.

The Pro buds are excellent, but they can’t match the larger, grandiose soundscape offered by the Max .

The AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) look very similar to their predecessors, and that’s no bad thing.

They continue the lineage of silicon ear tips, offering three sizes right out of the box that are easy to switch.

On the other hand, we’d still avoid them for working out (opting for the Beats Fit Pro in those instances), but the AirPod Pro remain more comfortable for our money.

We’ve tested them in busy coffee shops, quiet offices, while out for a walk.
