Apple Airpods Pro!!
WIN A APPLE AIRPODS PRO!!
The AirPods Pro offer a much
richer, rounder and deeper sonic palate than previous Apple headphones, but
does our reviewer think they are better than the original.
What does silence sound like?
That’s a trickier question than it might seem. Maybe your imaginary quiet place
is a warm deserted island or a quaint crusty library – but mine is outer space;
the cold, steely, unfathomable, stretch of infinity. Silence is a terrible
aloneness, something to be feared, not sought – one of the reasons headphones
have remained such a consistent friend.
The truth is, actual, total
silence remains unimaginable – every space and situation carrie, a sonic, a
sound, a vibe. Apple’s new AirPods Pro embrace and embellish this fact, by
seeking not to blot out all trace of the outside world – as most in-ear
earphones might claim – but to artificially conjure an imagined silence. And
yet there’s another mode designed to deliberately channel the outside world
into your solitude, allowing meaningful engagement with your surroundings while
continuing to pump your desired sounds. And if you’ve never tried it before, it
feels like nothing less than an audio revolution.
