Apple launches higher-end AirPods Pro with noise-cancellation


The AirPods have quickly become one of Apple’s most popular products. — AFP Relaxnews

Apple Inc announced the AirPods Pro, a higher-end version of its popular wireless headphones that add noise-cancellation, water-resistance and a new design.

The model priced at US$249 (RM1,042) will sell alongside the current US$159 (RM666) version that launched in March, and marks the first time that Apple is segmenting its AirPods line in a significant way. The new model includes interchangeable flexible tips to improve their fit. That addresses a criticism of the original design, which first debuted in 2016, and also helps enable the noise cancellation feature for improved audio quality.
