There’s a reason why when you see your buddies on the putting green with those recognizable white stems in their ears, they can’t hear a word you’re saying.

The noise cancellation on the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) is nearly as good as bigger, bulkier over-ear models, but it’s some of the other features that make AirPods perfect for the golf course.

Thanks to a recent software update, the new adaptive audio and conversation awareness functions allow you to tune out distractions you don’t want, while still allowing you to talk with someone on the range.

Beats Fit Pro

$199.99

Beats Fit Pro — true wireless noise cancelling earbuds that comfortably lock in place, however you move through your day.

Love the convenience and functionality of AirPods, but want something just a little more secure as you move throughout a golf swing?

Check out this offering from Beats, which is a subsidiary of Apple. The Beats Fit Pros have the same H1 chip as the AirPods Pro, meaning they have most of the same functionality including noise cancellation and transparency mode.

However, these buds stay secure in your ear thanks to their wingtip design. I skied for three years with these buds and no matter how many falls I took, they never fell out once.

Bose Frames Tempo

They’re also IPX4 water resistant making them perfect for the course.
