The first AirPods model went on sale in December 2016, since then and almost 2 years later, Apple has managed to evolve this device until we find a wide range of headphones where each user can find the ideal device for their use. For this reason, in this post we want to tell you what your ideal AirPods model would be based on your uses and needs.
Basic but quality headphones
Let’s start talking about the two most accessible models in terms of price of AirPods, which are also the two that have the most “cut” specifications, and we put it in quotes because now you will see that it is not quite like that. Both the 2nd generation AirPods and the 3rd generation AirPods are designed for all those users who do not need or do not want noise cancellation, either because they really do not need it or simply because the famous AirPods rubber band that provides part of the cancellation of noise, they are not comfortable.
However, between these two models, in addition to the design, there is a fundamental difference, and that is the sound quality that they can offer . The 2nd generation AirPods sound good, but they have nothing to do with what the AirPods 3 offer, which are AirPods Pro but without noise cancellation. Therefore, if you don’t need or want noise cancellation and simply demand optimal sound quality, for the price of the AirPods 2 they become the ideal option. Now if you want great sound quality, with support for spatial audio and lossless audio from Apple Music, AirPods 3 are waiting for you with open arms. The price of the AirPods 2 in the Apple Store is 149 euros , while that of the AirPods 3 amounts to 199 euros .
Enjoy noise cancellation
One of the most important aspects that the vast majority of headphones have adopted in recent years is noise cancellation, and Apple has been able to take the lead thanks to two of its headphones, the AirPods Pro and the AirPods Max . Obviously, there are a world of differences between these two models, but we can define them both as headphones with incredible noise cancellation, and fantastic sound quality, yes, with very different sizes.
We start with the smallest, and what we can think of as Apple’s all-rounder headphones . The AirPods Pro, as we have mentioned, have one of the best noise cancellations on the market , in addition to having all the possible benefits in sound quality, such as compatibility with spatial audio and Apple Music lossless audio . These devices have been designed and thought for those users who want to have noise cancellation and, in addition, headphones that they can use anywhere and to carry out any task, whether listening to music at home or going for a run with them. Of course, they have a price in the Apple Store of 279 euros , although in other stores you can find them cheaper.
On the other hand, the AirPods Max, given their size, are a step above the AirPods Pro in noise cancellation , however, given their construction and, again, their size, they are not as versatile as the AirPods Pro. They sit at the pinnacle of on-ear headphones, and if that’s exactly what you’re looking for, surely the AirPods Max can give you the best possible experience, especially if you have a well-trained Apple ecosystem. They are ideal to be able to work both inside and outside the home , in libraries, offices or cafeterias, but they are also very comfortable to be able to enjoy your podcast or favorite music at home. Finally, you have to know that the price of these headphones is not exactly cheap, since they amount to 629 euros in the Apple Store , although you can find them very low in stores like Amazon.
