help Apple AirPods Pro FAQ
Do AirPods Pro have active noise cancellation?
Yes, AirPods Pro feature active noise cancellation using outward- and inward-facing microphones to detect and neutralize background sound. This was the headline feature that distinguished them from the regular AirPods when they launched in October 2019, and it helped make them the world's top-selling truly wireless earphones.
Can I use AirPods Pro with Android phones?
Yes, AirPods Pro function as standard Bluetooth earbuds with Android devices, Windows PCs, and any Bluetooth-enabled audio source. However, you lose Apple-specific features such as automatic device switching between iCloud-linked devices, Spatial Audio with head tracking, and hands-free Siri activation.
What is the IPX4 sweat and water resistance rating on AirPods Pro?
AirPods Pro carry an IPX4 rating, meaning they are resistant to water splashing and sweat from any direction. Both the earbuds and the charging case carry this rating, which made them more suitable for exercise than the original non-Pro AirPods that lacked any formal ingress protection.
How long does the AirPods Pro battery last on a single charge?
With active noise cancellation enabled, the original 2019 AirPods Pro deliver up to four and a half hours of listening time per charge, and up to five hours with ANC turned off. The charging case provides multiple full recharges, bringing total combined listening time to over 24 hours before needing to plug in.
