Even better Active Noise Cancellation, elevated sound quality and intelligent features in the iconic over-ear design.
Amazon is usually cheaper and comes with the same one-year Apple warranty. Either way you can add AppleCare+ within 60 days of purchase.
iHelp's verdict
H2 chip, March 2026. I wrote about whether it's worth upgrading on the blog.
People who prefer over-ear headphones and want the full set of H2 features. If you have AirPods Pro 2 or 3, there's less reason to switch.
The same over-ear design with the H2 chip, up to 1.5x more effective noise cancellation, Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Live Translation and lossless audio over USB-C.
