Apple's powerful AirPods Pro 2 are a lightweight and comfortable set of earbuds that deliver great audio quality and excellent active noise-canceling features.

The best noise-cancelling wireless earbuds in the Apple lineup are nearly back to their holiday-sale lowest price.

On the other hand, the AirPods Max offer a better noise-canceling experience by virtue of that form factor. Both products offer a transparency mode for hearing environmental noise and noise canceling to focus on the audio itself, but the AirPods Max handle the latter better because they cover your entire ear.
