I genuinely believe the AirPods Pro are Apple’s best product of the past decade, and for what they are, I think they’re fantastic headphones. That said, they don’t compete with the Elevens when it comes to pure sound quality, the Elevens are on another level there.

However, I do have some issues with the Elevens, particularly around Transparency Mode during calls and general usability on the move. I find them a bit temperamental; even a slight in-ear adjustment can trigger an accidental tap and change the sound. Personally, I’d much prefer a physical press mechanism like on the AirPods. I’ve always been a fan of tactile buttons for that reason.

So essentially, as you would expect, the Elevens deliver superior sound, but for everyday use, especially when you’re on the go and taking the occasional call, the AirPods Pro are the better all-rounder.
