Apple announced AirPods Pro on Monday, which will go on sale for $250 on October 30.
The new AirPods come with upgrades including noise-cancellation and water-resistance, features Apple fans have been asking for and other brands have incorporated into wireless headphones. They come in a wireless charging case and cost nearly $100 more than regular AirPods, which retail for $159.
Despite the upgrades, regular AirPods are still a smart buy. You'll get similar battery life and a more aesthetically appealing case, and wired charging is usually faster, anyway.
Here are the reasons you should stick with regular AirPods.
