For those who still prefer listening to music using traditional cables, Sony makes a wide range of on-ear and over-the ear wired headphones that work with all Apple devices. It also offers a pair of truly wireless earbuds -- the Momentum Free -- that connect via an ultra-low-power, low-range radio signal, allowing for the ultimate wireless listening experience.

Value

AirPods Pro are an impressive pair of headphones regardless of whether you think they're worth $549. The sound quality is superb and features like transparency and auto-pause mode are extremely beneficial. They also feel extremely well-constructed, which is not always the case with wireless headphones.

Of course, that sort of sophisticated functionality comes at a cost, and for many people the AirPods are simply too expensive. The AirPods Pro are a great alternative for people who already have a strong connection to Apple's ecosystem. They are equipped with the H1 chip found in the latest iPhone models of speakers. They use it to analyze the audio from eight microphones dotted around and inside the earcups. This enables the headphones to not only block outside noise, but to alter the sound quality of your music in real-time to the way they fit and stay to your head. Apple claims it can adjust 200 times every second to your music, which is a staggering figure. The result is a pair of headphones that feel truly alive with cinematic depth and clarity that's in a league of their own. Even the most mundane tracks, like electronic jazz band Comet is Coming's debut album, are incredibly immersive and dramatic on the AirPods Pro.

Prior to the release of the AirPods, Apple used to include an EarPod with wired connections in every iPhone box, and the earbuds continue to be available now with either a Lightning or 3.5mm headphone plug (though they no longer have a microphone). They're not as impressive as a pair of the brand new AirPods however, they're ideal for running or commuting on a treadmill, and come with an excellent battery longevity and a comfortable fit.

Beats Original line of earbuds and over-the-ear headphones was acquired by Apple in 2014, but they've largely remained the same, with the exception of upgrading to a newer W1 chip and USB-C charging. The company is expected to discontinue the Beats brand in the near future, but artist collaborations and occasional updates such as the Beats Solo3 USB-C with the newer H1 processor could keep them in the market.
