Can someone please explain what is "PRO" about these?
Can we please wait until reviews arrive to see how much improved they are and not ask such questions? You're literally asking something that nobody knows. Let people actually try them.
 
How much sound can you actual cancel with buds as compared to over the ears?
 
I just recently got Airpods 2, mainly because I lost my original Airpods (that I later found in my trouser pocket a month later).
Looks like these don't have wireless charging which would have been nice considering the cost.
they come with wireless charging case so that feature is included

EVERY SINGLE TIME Apple releases new headphones there are rumors of colors. They are ALWAYS wrong. The white color of Apple earbuds and AirPods are the most iconic thing in the world, it screams to the world about how popular Apple products are when you see a pair in someone's ears... companies would DIE to have that kind of branding... so why would Apple make their headphones in new colors so people have a more difficult time telling who is using an Apple product? These are wishes and fever dreams of folks and nothing more... white is the color of Apple branded products that go on or in your ears.
And it will continue this way until the exact moment in time when Apple determines it would be more profitable to release a black color than it would be to not have one.

For the reasons you've already espoused, it is better for them to not offer this. Amazingly, the repeated whining of a handful of people doesn't actually translate to anything in the real world. Imagine that?
 
I just watched the video and the case is a different size compared to the originals. Anyone know the dimensions?

I couldn’t resist engraving them (“THE WORLD IS YOURS”), so I’ll wait an extra week. 😁
 
I think that became clear a year or two ago that "Pro" became "Apple speak" for "more expensive".
A year or two? For over a decade it’s been “Apple speak” for “high-end model with the most features”.

The high end model with the most features will definitely not be the least expensive, but is that surprising?

Not surprised that there is no colour options. White buds have been a marketing stroke of luck since the iPod.
You know when people have AirPods is or any Apple buds. If they make them black then they lose that.
It’s part of what helped normalise the AirPods design after they were mocked at the start. Seeing the white buds on so many folk changed it all
 
Pass.

Battery life isn’t good enough.

I got my PowerBeats 3 for $99. They work great and sound great. I can wear them for over 12 hours before charging. I’ll stick with those for a while.

I’ll eventually get the PowerBeats Pro when they’re at a fire sale price.
Why do you need to wear headphones for 12 hours?

It is so easy to pop AirPods back in their case which charges them, that the battery life is almost completely meaningless. Unless you've owned them and experienced this, you can't appreciate it.
 
Top secret link with the desired information ;)



Haha. Thanks. I was thinking they'd have it on the main product page on apple.com, but no go there. I did find it on the apple.com store page you mentioned.

Size and Weight
AirPods Pro (each)⁴
Height: 1.22 inches (30.9 mm)
Width: 0.86 inch (21.8 mm)
Depth: 0.94 inch (24.0 mm)
Weight: 0.19 ounce (5.4 grams)

Wireless Charging Case⁴
Height: 1.78 inches (45.2 mm)
Width: 2.39 inches (60.6 mm)
Depth: 0.85 inch (21.7 mm)
Weight: 1.61 ounces (45.6 grams)
 
These look like a definite must buy. Significant improvements over the existing AirPods.

I'm really curious how well the noise cancelling works and how the "tuning" feature works to measure the best fit.
