Apple AirPods Pro Commercial: “Turn Noise into Silence” 30 Seconds

This is a commercial that focuses on the noise-canceling feature of AirPods Pro, portraying how quiet it can get through a distinctive, imaginative world.

Various vehicles—including work trucks that typically make loud noises—are floating, and there’s even a parade happening in the air, creating a lively atmosphere.

Yet you can’t hear any of it, which depicts the silence brought about by the elimination of noise.

What really highlights this silence in the visuals is TK Maiza’s rendition of “Where Is My Mind.” It’s a cover of the Pixies’ song, and it feels more digitally oriented than the original.

The combination of soft sounds and gentle vocals conveys a strong sense of weightless floating.

Valentino Pink PP Collection

The song used in the commercial for Valentino’s signature Pink PP Collection is “Only You.” This track was released in 1982 by Yazoo, a British synth-pop duo.

Immediately after its release, it became a top-20 hit on the UK charts despite being their debut single.

As its success suggests, the song is incredibly catchy.

While the bouncy synth tones are a hallmark of the original, the version for the commercial adds strings, resulting in a more luxurious arrangement.
