The Beats Studio3 headphones are more flexible than the EarPods and feature closed-back design which provides greater noise isolation for commuting and sports. They are uncomfortable on the ears if worn for prolonged periods of time, though, and are not as comfortable to wear when running. The Apple EarPods are also more expensive and have a heavier build.

Although Apple's headphones are great for people who rely on the company's tech ecosystem, their control options can be a hassle for everyone else.

Connectivity

Value

The question of whether you'd consider them worth $549 is up to you, Headphones Apple but in the end they are worth it. AirPods Pro are a remarkable pair of headphones. The sound quality is excellent and features such as auto-pause mode and transparency are extremely beneficial. They also feel exceptionally well-constructed and sturdy, which isn't always the case with wireless headphones.

AirPods are expensive, but they offer a lot of features that are advanced. The AirPods Pro are a great option for those who already have a deep connection to Apple's ecosystem.

Beats' original line of earbuds as well as over-the-ear headphones was acquired by Apple in 2014, but they've largely stayed the same, with the exception of upgrading to a newer W1 chip and USB-C charging.
