Apple’s first generation of pro-grade AirPods offer noise cancellation, customisable ear tips and support for spatial audio. They are still worth consideration despite the launch of the second generation.

It’s been three years since Apple first unveiled its pro-grade AirPods. In the world of consumer electronics, three years is a long time. Plus, those past three years have seen a seismic shift in how people work and play thanks to COVID-19.

While Apple has recently launched the second generation of the AirPods Pro, the first generation still holds up as a high-value pair of true wireless earbuds. In fact, they have only just been bumped out of our list of the best wireless earbuds in Australia.

From the seamless integration with Apple devices, to the support for spatial audio and its still-impressive noise cancellation, the first generation of AirPods Pros are still worth consideration, particularly for those looking for wireless earbuds on a budget.
