  • Hey Guys, my name is Tucker Bowe, staff writer at Gear Patrol, talking AirPods, AirPods Pro, just announced yesterday.

  • Here are five cool things you need to know.

  • No, not me.

  • This isn't a new phone.

  • So first things you need to know about the AirPods Pro: they came out today, they cost $249.

  • They're essentially the upgraded version of the AirPods, and yeah, you can pre-order right now.

  • And they'll expecting to ship October 30th.

  • So second thing: when I say upgraded versions of these guys, they're upgraded for a couple different ways.

  • First off, they have new modes that are active noise-canceling earbuds, same as like Sony's WF-1000-XM-Three's.

  • So these have active noise-cancellation and transparency modes.

  • And what you do is you just go in the Control Center, just like you would with your normal AirPods, but there's new mode. You can turn Active Noise-Canceling on or off.

  • And, or you can switch to transparency mode.

  • So, number three: these are actually water, splash, sweat resistant.

  • So you can actually run with them.

  • And they actually have the same sweat and water resistance rating as the Powerbeats Pro, which are you know, the Apple and Beats wireless running headphones.

  • Normal AirPods, although you know a ton of people run in these things, Apple has never released, you know specs or ratings within terms of like water and sweat resistance.

  • So you probably shouldn't run with them.

  • You can because a ton of people do, but if you wanna run with AirPods, these are what you want.

  • Four: so you'll notice right away that these won't fit like normal AirPods.

  • They have a silicone ear tip, and they're supposed to go in your ear canal, so they're snugger fit.

  • But Apple has actually integrated a technology called Adaptive EQ.

  • And you put these on, you fit them with the stock silicone tip, and then you run a test within the Settings of your AirPods, and it'll actually tell you if it's a good or not a good fit.

  • And if it's not, you can readjust them, run it again, and if it's still not a good fit, you can swap them out for the small or the larger ear tips.

  • But it's actually pretty neat because you know, I don't think any other wireless earbud has ever like had this technology where it actually tells you if it's fitting well.

  • And five: these earbuds look and feel differently.

  • If you notice, shorter stem, longer stem.

  • These are the AirPods, these are the AirPods Pro.

  • Also the case: they look very similar.

  • They're very similarly sized. This is actually more horizontal.

  • But they're both still very pocket-able.

  • So they're essentially, very, very similar and they can both be your everyday earbuds.

  • It's actually pretty interesting to me because essentially you have noise-canceling earbuds that are sweat-resistant and that sound better than AirPods, so they're an elevated version of AirPods in every way.

  • But still at basically $100 more, are most people gonna care that much about better sound quality, noise-cancellation, and sweat resistance?

  • Maybe.

  • If you're normally running with your AirPods and you love them, but you're kind of like afraid that they're gonna kind of shake out, then AirPods Pro are great.

  • If you want noise-cancellation, AirPods Pro are great.

  • If you want better sound; if you wanna actually hear the bass in you wireless earbuds; this is what you want.

  • AirPods are still great. They're probably gonna still be the best-selling wireless earbuds.

  • The Pros: little bit better in every single way; little bit more expensive.

  • And if you wanna spend that extra money, you know go for it. If not, these are still great.
