Apple’s latest AirPods Pro with USB-C have returned to their all-time low


It’s time to say goodbye to Lightning.

The refreshed earbuds continue to offer top-tier ANC, refined sound, and the same feature set as the second-gen model from 2022, save for some added dust resistance and an improved USB-C charging case that ditches Apple’s aging Lightning connector. Newer modes like Conversation Awareness and Adaptive Audio — which rolled out via a software update in the fall — help round out the excellent feature set, allowing you to automatically dial back the volume when speaking or cancel unwanted distractions only when needed. Rumor has it a larger, more expensive Soundlink Max is around the corner, but if you prefer something more affordable, the Flex continues to offer 12 hours of battery life, an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, and clear, rich sound with a surprising amount of bass.
