Our Verdict

Beats Solo3 2019 Wireless

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation)

The Beats Solo3 2019 and the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) are two different categories of headphones belonging to Apple's lineup. The Beats are pretty basic on-ear headphones with little app support, no active noise cancellation (ANC), and a longer battery life. They use the Apple W1 chip, so connections are optimized, and you can switch between Apple devices, but you don't get any extras like Spatial Audio. The Apple earbuds have the newer H2 chip (and U1 chip for the case), which offers benefits similar to the W1 chip. Otherwise, the Apple earbuds are wildly different in that you get ANC, Spatial Audio, touch controls, a portable in-ear fit, and a shorter continuous battery life. Overall, the Apple earbuds supply more features and are the better pick.
