The feature, which includes spatial audio with Dolby Atmos support, provides sound quality comparable to CDs and vinyl records, though only newer Apple TV models released after 2021 will be compatible.

    AirPods 5 vs. AirPods Pro 3: I’ve Listened to Both Earbuds, and This Pair Wins

The choice depends on personal comfort preferences and whether you prioritize the Pro model's tighter seal or the standard model's more comfortable, looser fit.
