Yesterday, Apple unveiled the soon-to-be-released AirPods Pro, a product which promises buyers five hours of battery life in addition to water-resistant and noise-cancelling features. And it didn't take long for the people of the internet to notice the somewhat peculiar shape of the new earbuds. In fact, many likened their appearance with the Pokémon Bellsprout. Remember when Apple admitted to slowing down older models of iPhones: [[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/StHo7RiS-Q0L14jDU.mp4||StHo7RiS]] This latest generation of the wireless earbuds have also been compared to hairdryers, showerheads, the Pixar lamp, the Peashooter from Plants vs. Zombies, and the mouth of the F.L.U.D.D from Super Mario Sunshine.

So what would you be getting for your money? Well, the AirPods Pro will have a transparency mode that will allow you to hear sounds in the background while you're wearing them and have a "force sensor" that can be used to control music playback and activate transparency mode. They also have a feature called "Adaptive EQ" that "automatically tunes music to the shape of your ear." Buyers will be provided with three sizes of silicone tips and can benefit from a software audio test that will inform you if you’ve selected the right-sized tip by "measuring the sound level in the ear and comparing it to what is coming from the speaker driver." Plus they support wireless charging and hands-free "Hey Siri" voice commands. <img class="size-full wp-image-12559731" src="https://img.vt.co/2019/10/5c4c9e1b-screen-shot-2019-10-29-at-14.37.38.jpg" alt="airpods" width="753" height="653" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Apple]] "AirPods are the best-selling headphones in the world.
