Apple AirPods 5 review highlights effective active noise cancellation without ear tips

Apple's AirPods 5 introduce active noise cancellation and the H2 chip to the open-fit headphone lineup without requiring silicone ear tips.

Testing demonstrated that the open-design earbuds deliver clean, balanced sound while maintaining a remarkably natural Transparency mode.

The new model successfully brings advanced features previously restricted to the Pro range into the standard AirPods product category.
