Why the AirPods Pro 2 are the clear winner

To ear tip, or to not ear tip, that is the question.
The AirPods Pro 2 outperforms the AirPods 4 in nearly every category while costing less this Black Friday. Their silicone ear tips deliver superior noise cancelation and better sound quality while also providing 50% more battery life — 6 hours versus 4 hours with ANC on. The Pro 2’s charging case adds another 24 hours of juice, compared to the AirPods 4’s 15 hours.
While both models feature USB-C and wireless charging and Apple’s latest audio features like Adaptive Audio, the Pro 2 packs additional perks. You get IPX4 water resistance, hearing aid functionality with iOS 18.1, and better call quality. The only reason to choose the AirPods 4 is if you specifically prefer their open-ear design or find silicone tips uncomfortable.
