What’s new?
Briefing the whole difference to a single line I would say The “Apple AirPods Pro” adds noise cancellation, IPX4 water-resistance, and a better customizable fit with high prices. In contrast to this, Apple’s classic AirPods cost lesser and have a good battery life than the Pro version, but no noise cancellation is here.
Below is the detailed difference in tabular form:

| Battery lasts for | 4.5 hours | 5 hours |
| Chipset | H1 | H1 |
| Bluetooth version | 5.0 | 5.0 |
| Noise Cancellation | Yes | No |

Noise cancellation is a jawdropping feature added to the new version “Apple Airpod Pro”. The feature is available with any pair of headphones. Active noise cancellation enables the headphones to fades or removes the background noise around you. Top off the fact that the new AirPods Pro features a new design with silicone ear tips, the AirPods Pro are likely going to sound significantly better than the non-pro version.
