re: Air Pods vs Air Pods Pro vs Something else

The only differences I really see between the regular and the pro is the noise cancelling and their shape. Plus there have been complaints with noise cancelling. I have the regular version and use them a ton now that I'm working from home. Conference calls and podcasts going pretty much all day. If she's going to use them for exercising/running, you can get a little clip they slide into that holds them in place. I didn't have any issues in the gym or on the treadmill, but if she's running outside it might be nice so they don't fall out and go bouncing wherever.
