Either way, you might like the just-released <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/airpods-pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AirPods Pro<\/a>, which offer a new design with three sizes of soft, flexible, silicone ear tips and welcome new capabilities. The ear tips should make the AirPods Pro fit better for more people, and an Ear Tip Fit Test will tell you which size is right for your ears. The hot new feature is Active Noise Cancellation mode, which significantly cuts down on the background din of planes, trains, and automobiles. Alternatively, Transparency mode reduces surrounding noise while still letting you hear important announcements and stay aware of the environment around you. And, of course, Apple promises superior sound quality. The AirPods Pro cost $249 and come with a Wireless Charging Case.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7473 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.computeradvantage.us\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/apples-new-airpods-pro-offer-active-noise-cancellation-and-better-fit-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"743\" height=\"410\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 743px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 743\/410;\"><\/p>\n<p>(Featured image by Apple)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you a fan of Apple\u2019s AirPods, or have you had trouble with them staying in your ears?
