Our Verdict
Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless
Jaybird Vista 2 Truly Wireless
The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are better headphones for most uses than the Jaybird Vista 2 Truly Wireless. While both headphones are comfortable and well-built, the Apple have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer, and their ANC can block out more ambient noise. They also have more additional charges in their carrying case, and their H1 chip allows you to connect them to your Apple devices. However, the Jaybird are more customizable as their companion app offers a parametric EQ and presets.
