Apple currently makes two true wireless earbuds models: The second-gen AirPods (which start at $159, but are generally sold for closer to $139) come with optional wireless charging, and the $249 AirPods Pro, which feature active noise cancellation.
I personally prefer the AirPods Pro and rated them higher than the standard AirPods in my review. But they cost around $110 more than the base AirPods (without wireless charging) and not everyone likes their noise-isolating design that leaves you with a silicone ear tip pushed slightly into your ear canal. The looser fit of the AirPods has its advantages — and not everyone wants to spend $250 on earphones, especially ones that are easy to lose.
