AirPods Pro REVIEW 4 months laterNoise canceling:This is a review more with noise cancelling in mind rather than audio quality. I work in a noisy environment with machinery, chatter, & tools being used, anywhere from 8-10 hours per day. While earplugs are available at work, the noise is still discomforting for me. The AirPods Pro 2 gen on the other hand cancel out more noise while erasing most of the discomfort.The AirPods Pro are not going to mute the world around you(unless you’re in a quiet place), but they will either reduce the lesser noise to being almost non-existent, or make most of the louder noise manageable/more comforting. The noises that are still annoying are any higher pitched ones. Btw, you can still hear people speaking to you if you’re up close.I have removed my AirPods Pro while at work & the noise around me does blast my ears & reveal how well the AirPods are canceling noise around me.Briefly speaking about the noise canceling while at home & around my neighborhood. At home in my room, they do a really great job in making everything quiet, even for the neighbors blasting music during summer parties. They were ok for fireworks this recent 4th of July though.One small quirk I discovered is that they don’t really work well in noise canceling mode when laying down in bed for loud noises. I don’t know if it’s some acoustic physics, but when the neighbors are blasting music through summer nights, the AirPods Pro can’t really cancel the noise when I’m laying in bed trying to sleep. Like it’s weird I’m laying in bed with loud music blasting my ears, but if I sit upright, the music mostly disappears, I lay back down, & bam!I’m not sure if maybe another of the earbud sizes will work better. Like I did switch out the earbuds that originally came on the AirPods Pro to the “small” size(I’m not sure if I ever did try out the “XS” & “L” sizes but the small does fit me well), I think the ones I removed are considered the medium size.This terrible quirk made me start to research for better noise canceling headphones for use at home, I’m debating getting the Bose quietcomfort earbuds II or the Bose quietcomfort 45.When I’m walking around in the neighborhood in the morning, I turn on noise cancelling mode & listen to music or some twitch stream, & the world does go quiet. If any cars pass by they are audible up close but the noise quickly lessen as they leave. Again, machinery(i.e. people mowing their lawns/construction workers fixing roads) is still audible but reduced to comfort levels. Even birds, grasshoppers, & cicadas are still audible with their higher pitch noises but they’re not annoying. Also, walking near any busy street with cars passing by on all directions does make the noise more comforting, like enough to regularly pass through those streets.When I’m bike riding I switch to transparency mode to hear for vehicles behind or nearby. I want to be safe while riding my bicycle on the streets so I don’t really use noise canceling since they do reduce car noises, especially quieter ones, & might put me in danger. Using transparency mode while riding my bike outside does require me to raise my volume a bit higher to hear any music I’m listening to or any twitch/YouTube streamer I’m watching. Passing cars are not as annoying during these times, since noise does get a little drown out with music or twitch/YouTube streamers. When I get stuck in any intersection waiting for the traffic lights to turn green, I quickly switch to noise canceling mode & the noise levels become comforting, only trucks are still kinda loud. The one negative during these times is that holding the airpod’s stem to switch to noise canceling mode does take about 3 seconds activate & silence traffic.Random fyi:when you turn off both transparency & noise canceling mode the regular earbud mode does also block out some noise, but not anywhere near with noise canceling mode on. Also, if you’re not listening to anything with noise canceling on, you can hear like white noise, I think maybe it’s the microphones that usually cancel out the noise?Quirky android observations:These are still usable on android phones, I have an s23 ultra that I usually take with me to work(while my iPhone 13 pro max & 13 mini are for personal use). As many others have mentioned, you can’t:use google assist,see your battery levels(apparently there’s an app you can download which does show battery levels, if I remember correctly) ,use them with both transparency & noise canceling off, I believe.CLEANLINESS:(TMI, sorry)They do get dirty while working, so earwax builds up, but they’re easily cleanable, both the earplugs and the charging case.AUDIO QULAITY:I use my sennheiser hd 560s with the dac dongle for lossless quality on Apple Music, but I still like the AirPods Pro 2 & are also better than my regular AirPods 2. The sennheiser’s have more detail, but the AirPods Pro are still good. I actually use my AirPods Pro 2 more than my sennheisers since earbuds are just more convenient than using over the ears headphones with a like 6ft wire.CHARGING:Lastly, since I work for 8-10 hrs, I recharge my AirPods Pro 2 while I’m on break. I get a couple 15 & 20 minute breaks & the charging case is pretty fast & will keep them charged throughout the day. But if I do end up working 10hrs I’ll get the low battery warning, I think when they hit 20% & 10% respectively.Also the battery case holds enough charge to keep the AirPods charged for two back to back days working about 8-10 hours a day before you need to charge the case itself.I’ve had them for about 4 months now & the AirPods battery have hold up well despite working like 4 days per week and charging them a couple times per week and draining the AirPods regularly. I was also worry about the constant noise work ruining the noise canceling of the AirPods but they still seem to block out noise since like day one.I did buy AppleCare+ for two years to probably replace them if either the AirPod’s battery or the charging case battery deteriorate in the long run.

Very happy with this music upgrade
I was on the fence for a long time about getting these. The price was definitely a scare factor. However I recently bought an Apple Watch and the headphones compliment the watch perfectly. Especially for exercise. The AirPods Pro sound very good for their size. Battery life is acceptable and I can easily connect them to my Apple TV, Watch, iPhone etc…They stay in place (I’m a commuter cyclist) with no issues and have never fallen out at the gym either. I will say the volume control on mine is quite finicky but I don’t know if that’s an isolated issue with mine. I love how loud these get as well as the ability to bring the charging case to ‘top up’ the AirPod Pros on the go. If using with an iPhone, you can wander a fair distance away before any connection issues happen. Which is great. Cleaning them is a breeze too. By far my favourite feature is the noise cancelling option. Pretty much worth the price of admission by its self.

Tout ça pour ça.
Entendons-nous bien. Chez moi tout ce qui est écran, sauf la télévision bien entendu, est Apple et tout ce qui est audio est Bose.Côté positif, les évents qui vous donnent moins de pression que les autres écouteurs et le fait qu’ils ne sont pas intrusifs et ne me causent aucune douleur et tiennent parfaitement bien dans mes oreilles ce qui est plutôt rare pour ce genre d’écouteurs.Un autre côté positif. Le fait que les commandes tactiles sont sur la branche, ce qui fait que si vous mettez votre tête légèrement sur le côté quand vous vous reposez ou mettez votre main par erreur sur vos écouteurs ça ne coupe pas le son.Mais alors là, il faut m’expliquer ce qu’ont de si extraordinaire les AirPods Pro 2ème génération. Je n’en reviens pas des supposés sites spécialisés qui nous donnent des critiques dithyrambiques à propos de ces écouteurs. Quand je lis sur leur site que ces écouteurs sont bluffants, c’est moi qui suis bluffée de leur manque de professionnalisme.Est-ce le nom « Apple » qui sonne bien aux oreilles ??? Je me pose sincèrement la question.Gros problème, il n’y a pas d’égalisateur, ce qui fait que peu importe ce que vous écoutez, il vous faut supporter ce que Apple vous donne. Même des écouteurs moins chers ont cette fonction.Amateurs de livre audio, les AirPods Pro 2ème génération ne sont pas pour vous. Quand j’écoute les narrateurs, j’ai la nette impression que leur voix est étouffée comme s’ils mettaient leurs mains en coquille devant leur bouche.Annulation activation du bruit…??? Tout dépendamment de ce que l’on attend de cette fonction.Quand au test d’isolation, préparez vos oreilles à un bruit-test avec un son qui risque de vous vriller les oreilles. À moins d’être dans un endroit bruyant le test est supportable.Je crois que bien des gens n’ont jamais écouté quoi que ce soit avec des écouteurs Bose. Pour ma part, le son Bose n’est pas prêt d’être détrôné.Dans le domaine des écouteurs, Apple a encore bien du chemin à faire.Sans compter le prix excessif pour de simples écouteurs.Résultat, je les ai renvoyé.

Great AirPods
To be honest, when I originally received the AirPods it was clearly not new. You could tell that the box was opened and someone tried repackaging it. I contacted Amazon and to their credit, they processed the return and replacement without giving me any hassle. I really appreciated that Amazon took care of this issue quickly and once I got the new shipment, it was a brand new and they work perfectly.

AirPods Pro (2nd generation) living up to the hype!
After watching many reviews and waiting for sales, I finally decided it was time to buy some AirPods Pro (2nd generation) for myself. I am not disappointed, the pairing experience was seamless out of the box with my iPhone, and the sound quality is excellent. Noise cancellation is very good, perfectly eliminating any engine noise or humming, and heavily muffling voices. It clearly does a better job at eliminating the low end, as most leaking noise is more higher-pitched. With music at any volume, this does not matter, as all sound is drowned out. Transparency mode is impressive, very natural feeling. I always have it on when I’m not using noise cancelling-even with one bud in-it feels more natural, my ears feel less plugged and I keep the outside world tuned in. Battery life is also exceptional, the buds have yet to fully die, they charge fast in the case, and both have significant battery life.I do recommend spending the extra 40 dollars on Apple Care +, whether or not I’ll use it, for devices so small and fragile I’ve already learned this is more than a good idea.Finally, some nitpicks, not enough to deduct stars, but enough to note:1. The case lid can slightly shift side to side with little force, although the hinge and assembly are very high quality and have no signs of wear or weak points, this is notable.2. The firmware/AirPods settings interface is pretty buggy at times, the case chimes toggle is sometimes inaccessible, and the whole submenu of iOS Settings dedicated to AirPods management is a bit jankier and less smooth than the rest of the experience. In addition to this, the Batteries widget also is slightly jankier than expected, only showing full stats when both buds are in.3. This is surely the least important, but occasionally there’ll be a noticeable (5 second +) delay between inserting the buds, and the in-ear sound playing, or audio going from mono to stereo.In conclusion, they’re well worth it, I purchased them on sale at 299.99, and buying Apple Care + basically brought it back to MSRP.
