By simply addressing those three issues, the AirPods Pro are already more enticing than the regular AirPods. The biggest reason why someone would want to buy the AirPods Pro instead of the regular AirPods is that they might actually fit and stay in your ears.There's a group of people who can't use AirPods even if they wanted to because AirPods don't fit and stay in their ears. The AirPods Pro and their in-ear design, as well as the rubber tips, should help that.
I've seen several people use regular AirPods on their runs and workouts, but they could easily become damaged if your sweat seeps into them. The AirPods Pro come with active noise-cancellation. Judging by how many people wear noise-cancelling headphones in loud cities like New York, I'm guessing this will be a pretty popular feature.
With that said, just the fact that the AirPods Pro fit in your ears with rubber tips should help reduce the noise around you. Combined with some level of active noise-cancellation, the AirPods Pro should reduce ambient noise a lot better than the regular AirPods.
Why do I need to stick these things in my ears in the first place?
