School's Out For Summer!
Airpod Pro’s cost around $175-250. If you buy them from Apple, it will cost around $275 after tax. There are definitely cheaper alternatives such as buying from Bestbuy for $220. Costco also has sales sometimes for $175 without tax. There are also used ones for $100-200 that might be fake.
What makes the Pros more special than the other generations? Many things, the Pros are water resistant so you can use them in water just not for long periods of time. The Pros also have many options such as noise cancellation which only works when you use both earbuds. Another option is transparency which makes you more aware of the outside environment. The Pros automatically stop playing music if you take them off and automatically connect when you put them in.
Here's the unplesant side. They may be annoying if you don’t own all Apple products since they will always automatically connect to your iPhone if you have a Windows computer. They’re also very hard to maintain. They attract dust and are it’s tricky to clean. Another downfall of the Pros is that they are easy to lose because of their size. They are also a target for theft because they’re pricey and can resell for a good amount of money. You can track them down but if they’re stolen, they update every 5-10 minutes which makes it almost impossible to track down the thief when they’re on the move.
I would recommend buying from BestBuy because there is no risk of them being fake and they often have sales. I would also recommend the Pros if you are looking into buying Airpods and own an iPhone. If you have a Samsung, I don’t recommend you buying Airpods since you can’t take full advantage of what they can do. I would recommend you to buy other earbuds.
