Our Verdict

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation)

Nothing Ear (2)

The Nothing Ear (2) are better in-ear headphones than the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation). While both buds have similar comfort, battery life, and build quality, the Nothing come with more features for a lower price than the Apple, like multi-device pairing, ANC presets, and a graphic EQ with presets. However, the Apple have a better-functioning ANC that isolates you from more ambient noise, making them ideal for commutes and working in loud offices. They also have better compatibility with Apple's product ecosystem thanks to their H2 chip, which allows for seamless pairing with other Apple devices.
