Our Verdict

Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless

Sennheiser CX True Wireless

The Apple AirPods Pro are better than the Sennheiser CX True Wireless. The Apple in-ears have a more comfortable fit, have a better-balanced out-of-the-box sound profile, and block out a greater degree of ambient noise thanks to their ANC system. They also have a spatial audio feature on compatible devices. Meanwhile, the Sennheiser leak less audio, deliver better overall mic performance, have a longer single-charge battery life, and support a wider range of sound customization features through their companion app.
