What is the difference between Apple Airpod 2 Vs Airpod pro?

[SyedTutul]

I am planning to taking Apple earbuds for the gym and cycling but for gym, need should be ipx rated. The 2nd gen is not ipx rated and pro also NC supported, if i dont need NC. can i use 2nd gen while workout.

Your sentences are confusing.. Anyway, basically you want to use wireless headphones for gym and you want it to be IP rated? 

In that case, your option is only AirPods Pro. AirPods do not have any IP rating. Even though you don't use the ANC, the rubber sealing in AirPods Pro will definitely improve the external sound leak which improves overall sound quality in AirPods Pro.

 

Just that it cost $50 more expensive as compared with Wireless Charging AirPods 2
