The AirPods Pro battery life story is complicated by noise cancelationBest answer: Apple says that the battery on AirPods Pro will give you up to five hours of listening time. This can be reduced to 4.5 hours if you use active noise cancellation.

What battery will you get?
From a full charge, Apple says AirPods Pro will have up to five hours of listening time. This is consistent with the battery life in earlier AirPods, but in a package that's generally smaller than those previous earphones.
Apple also notes that battery life can be affected depending on how you use your AirPods. So if you take a lot of calls, use Siri or dictation a lot, or fiddle with the new force sensor on the stem, you'll probably experience shorter battery life than five hours.
