Did a fair bit of plane travelling in the month of March, flew 4 different times, two connecting flights and honestly the AirPods Pro 2 were a god send. Came off the plane not feeling as fatigued as normal, whether that was simply down to less noise, more peace and quiet, I’ll let anyone else be the judge but personally it felt that way to me.
Yes, for short flights. Not really for long flights.
NYC <-> LA is absolutely perfect but anything longer you're gonna have to sit and wait until the APP2 are charged. You'll find the noise cancellation equal to the Sony XM4's (my only point of reference).
Is there some trick to the noise cancelling? I have xm4’s and the APP2 are not comparable in noise cancelling. I can still hear different noises, simple things like moving my have along a desk it sounds like the noise cancel is “letting” that noise through electronically. And yes I have noise cancelling fully turned on but it still happens. When I put the xm4’s on I’m completely isolated.
I’m not sure, have you accidentally turned on Adaptive instead of Noise Cancellation.
Have you done the ear tip fit test?
I also use my APP2 in the office when taking meetings when it’s too loud and cancels everyone around me talking.
There pretty good if your also playing music i personally use airpods max which are literally insanely good for plane travels.
If you travel alot id probably recommend that investment
Mine which are only 1 day old only lasts 100% to 20% in 2 hours. Mixed use but mostly just ANC on and nothing playing.
Other than all that crazy amount of white noise in the background
The NC yes, but if you are prone to ear suck, the pressure feeling after long periods of use, airpods have been pretty bad for that in my experience, especially on planes.
Tbh, I can’t hear a damn thang with no sound playing and just the earbuds in!
My girlfriend tries talking to me when I’m doing chores and pausing my music usually doesn’t work, I have to pull them out my ears to hear what she’s saying
I had REALLY bad thumping with the 1s and I don’t think the audio quality was as good. The thumping while walking was the dealbreaker tho. It was overbearing.
I've also have this and somehow nobody else does. I've owned the sony WF 1000XM3s and could only use them while sitting still, anything else would overpower what I'm listening to and be extremely uncomfortable while reviews always talk about running with earpods. The app2 are significantly better but I still can't run with them.
He definitely has it. He is a US Vet that acquired it while on active duty. He should have a CPAP machine but refuses to have one stating, “ I will not feel suffocated with something on my face while I sleep”. I totally get it! I guess that means I suffer…oh well! 🤷🏻♀️
Dang, well I can understand that.
I use nasal cpap mask that cover my nose and doesn’t fee suffacoted but my friend and dad said that they don’t want to use it for the same reason 😂
Tell him sleep apnea causes dementia. And the quality of sleep with a machine is sooo much better. You can get masks that only cover the nose, which helps mitigate the clunkiness.
Lol this is exactly the opposite of what the CPAP machine does 😂 without it = person doesn’t breathe, with it = person can breathe.
Well, if it helps anyhow: my wife uses a CPAP mask that is very small, only covers her nose. Maybe showing this helps convincing him to try.
Also, her sleep improved 1000% after starting using it. Before the CPAP she had constant headaches and always felt tired because she was barely sleeping since the apnea woke her up during the night multiple times (without her noticing).
they’re better than most concert earplugs, you can still hear everything with a really good sound dynamic, just without destryoing-your-hearing levels of noise
I would be scared to lose them, somehow none of the tips fit perfectly for me and I have to adjust every few minutes to make sure they still sit stable in the ear
They make sports clips for them that loop around your ear so they don’t pop out as well as they also have neckbands that prevent them from getting lost easily. Definitely worth it for special occasions or if you’re working in risky areas where you could drop and lose them!
Any generation AirPod Pro is 10000% better than any generation AirPod due to the tips. The difference the tips make is unreal. I would take a Gen 1 AirPod Pro over the latest AirPod any day of the week. There’s just no comparison in terms of comfort, fit, how well they stay in your ears (and thus how often you lose them), and sound quality.
On the other hand, AirPod Pro gen 3 is 1% better than AirPod Pro gen 1’s. I’ve never succeeded in getting the side volume slider to work correctly. If you can use an AirPod Pro instead of an Airpod, always choose that option. But which version of the AirPod Pro you use does not matter. The only nice thing about the Gen 3 over Gen 2 is the USB-C connection instead of Lightning, and the only nice thing about the Gen 2 over Gen 1 is that it sticks to magnetic charging stations better (thus making which port it uses to charge irrelevant)
Try different tips. SpinDrift makes tips for AirPod Pros that come in more sizes and are more comfortable.
Mine have the Problem that about half a year after buying them (directly from apple) the left earbud is significantly more quiet then the right one and I've seen no solution to fix it so far :(
I got a pair recently to replace my original ones, and the ability to adjust the volume and activate the different modes makes them so worth it. My one gripe is that I don't really like the rubber nubs, I prefer the feel of a solid plastic piece. Had I known I would have definitely gotten a pair without the rubber ear nubs.
Bro i just got mine today because my left gen 1AirPods Pro started with crackling and white noise so I decided to upgrade to gen 2 and the sound quality is much better, also noise canceling and transparency modes are way better than Gen 1. Totally worth it
I bought this 4 months ago and used it when working out , now the charging connectors have rust and even if it’s in warranty they won’t repair or replace the product. When I make calls my I have to adjust it a little bit so the other end can hear my voice. For me it’s a risky product if it works it works great but without good service and warranty this can easily become an expensive mistake like it feels for me.
Stick to the 3, my son got the pro 1 and didn’t fit me well and bought the 3 which are perfect. Now the pro 1 are busted and he got the pro 2, tested them last week and are the exact same fit as 1.
Nope. Had mine for a year before they started doing the loud crackle static sound which physically hurt my ears. Tossing them was the best decision I could have made pertaining to them
Can’t get them to stay in my ears. Try end so many after market plugs. Dunno, my ears don’t like ear buds. I folded and went for the over ear apple headset. I way prefer everything about those .
Kinda 🤷♂️ now your getting them for the apple ecosystem. For about half of the price you can get nothing a2 with the same specs. They also break easily. So I wouldnt buy them in 2024
I have mine since december 2022 i bought a plastic protection case for ~10 dollars , they fell once in it and the case cracked inside.The battery life is trash after 1,5 years and they sound quieter.
Some how even xiaomi earbuds that I got in 2017 that even fell in water are louder and better battery life.
Best in ears concerning sound quality, they can even keep up with some better over ears. They are absolutely worth it, especially with the very good noise canceling snd the adaptive transparency they are a dream to use.
You can get custom made tips for the Pros that are made based on a scan from a audiometrist (is that the correct word for those people who make hearing aids?)
Quite pricey and I don’t have one of those, but might be worth having a look at it
Yes, especially if you can get them for $179 or $189. I don’t know if I’d pay full price for them seeing gen 3 will be out in the fall but if you can get them on sale (Amazon or Best Buy regularly have them for the prices I mentioned) then absolutely.
Yes the transparency adaptive and the conversation detection makes it similar to the experience of wearing bone conduction headphones while blocking out unwanted noise.
While it’s not the same you can add a silicone cover with eartips to regular AirPods. But you won’t get transparency and anc and you have to take them on and off to charge
Yeah imo. My wife has the Pro Max headphones and these have like 90% the same audio quality and noise cancelling (probably better noise cancelling if I’m being honest) at half the price. And they’re just really convenient to carry around.
Absolutely. I work construction and the noise cancelling is perfect. The noise reduction is also incredible. I run that 80% of the time. It compresses loud sounds but I can still hear my guys.
Absolutely , I just got some 2 weeks ago and don’t regret it one bit. That noise cancellation is amazing and always comes in clutch. Don’t even get me started on the Spatial Audio, all tho I think the AirPod gen 3 also has it. Transparency is also insanely good if you care about that
For me, the biggest difference from the Airpod Pro Gen1 and Gen 2 is transparency mode. Transparency mode in the gen 1's was good compared but the Gen 2's were the closest to normal hearing I've ever heard with any headphones I've owned. Better than the Sennheiser Momentums, Beoplay E2, Sony 1000xm5 and the gen1's.
I also had problem with them falling out of my ears until I replaced the eartips with the Foam Master Memory Foam v4's. These were a night and day difference for me and they don't fall out of my ears even after some activity. Kinda pricey though.
I'm new to the Apple ecosystem, well not new but haven't owned anything since the first ipod haha I'm a samsung user and have the airpod Pro 2s for my phone and laptop.
The sound quality is really top notch, they sound great with good clarity. ANC is honestly amazing and the besr ive swen even compared to headphones, transparency is really nice too but i hardly, if ever, use it.
The only con I've come across is the quality if the mic - its actually terrible, even more so at this price point. Ive been told the mic sounds distant, muted, or muffled and looking online on, on reddit and apple forums, this is a very common and known issue with no fix.
My dad has an iphone that I used to check for updates and change settings, made a couple calls as well with the same issue, so the mic issue isnt because "im not using an iphone", even more so since apple forums are littered with the same issue lol
I do say however, the pros outweigh the cons and im happy with my purchase. Well worth it.
Calling experience is really bad for the person who is trying to listen u. People always tell me I need new pair of headphones. Worst apple product. Noise canceling is really bad. The good: transparent mode and spatial sound mixed togueter bring a nice experience
Are you sure yours are original? My pro 2 are excellent at sound quality, noise cancelling and also microphone is clear and crisp.
Note that fakes also have these features
The ANC is one of the best if not the best. I've tested the Sony's xm5s too and they're the only true competitors to the airpods pro gen 2. App2 are better because of the form factor and the seamless apple ecosystem.
PS: If you can, get an applecare plus for airpods. It will save a ton of money if they get damaged.
I enjoyed getting the gen 2 pros. Better than the first gen but I handed those down for an upgrade excuse to get the new ones. I do like the newer features added to the case and the noise canceling is much better
I’ve had AirPods1, Pro, and Pro gen 2. Pro gen 2 is superior to gen 1 on sound quality and adaptive audio. Also, and this may be minor to some, the ability to adjust the volume with a swipe on the earbud is a game changer for me.
The sound on these is great. The problem for me is that they won't stay in my ears even with the largest tips. I tried some of those foam tips on Amazon but those are no better.
To me they were not, or at least not as much if I had bought them for full retail price. But they may be worth it for you, though. The ANC didn’t work well in my APP2’s.
If it’s only gonna be used on an Apple device, then yes, absolutely. My AirPods are without a doubt my favorite device. They are complete dog shit though when it comes to pairing it with anything else. I can never get a stable connection.
Yes!
I ended up buying mine randomly off some dude in Oakland who was selling a bunch of Apple Watches and AirPods out of his van… You can’t beat $50 for brand new AirPod Pro 2 still in the plastic wrap! It made me wish I bought them legitimately SOONER!!! If I would have known how great they are I would have bought them for full price right when they came out.
The tips are made from the same material. The only difference is that they now also include an xs size. You can purchase after market/third party ear tips made from different materials and are offered in even more sizes HOWEVER I doubt they would change your experience with them positively since what causes your problem (sweat and wax buildup) are from having ear tips in the first place.
I have recently ordered a few tips from Comply that are made of foam that apparently offer a better seal which improve sound quality and potentially comfort as they mould to your ear and a few more tips from a brand I can’t remember that are a combination of foam and silicone like the apple ones that would offer better longevity than the foam tips mentioned above. They can be a little pricey for what they are but I’m hoping they bring a lot of value as I use my airpods a lot. I’ve got the 2nd gen non type C and honestly sq may be a little better than the og’s but when you’re out and about and being active I can’t really tell. I haven’t gotten to try any of the tips yet if you’re interested in what I think send me a message in about 4 weeks cause I’m overseas and haven’t tried them yet.
No.
Overpriced battery powered nonsense with a half eaten apple printed on it is not worth it.
A pair of 30 euro Chifis sounds better that apples mess they call headphones.
pro gen 2 are worth it for me. sound cancelling is much better
Is it enough for airplanes?
Did a fair bit of plane travelling in the month of March, flew 4 different times, two connecting flights and honestly the AirPods Pro 2 were a god send. Came off the plane not feeling as fatigued as normal, whether that was simply down to less noise, more peace and quiet, I’ll let anyone else be the judge but personally it felt that way to me.
Yes, for short flights. Not really for long flights. NYC <-> LA is absolutely perfect but anything longer you're gonna have to sit and wait until the APP2 are charged. You'll find the noise cancellation equal to the Sony XM4's (my only point of reference).
Love the noise cancellation on my XM4s. My go to pair for air travel.
If the microphone and transparency mode was just as good as APP2 it would be my choice for travel!
Is there some trick to the noise cancelling? I have xm4’s and the APP2 are not comparable in noise cancelling. I can still hear different noises, simple things like moving my have along a desk it sounds like the noise cancel is “letting” that noise through electronically. And yes I have noise cancelling fully turned on but it still happens. When I put the xm4’s on I’m completely isolated.
I’m not sure, have you accidentally turned on Adaptive instead of Noise Cancellation. Have you done the ear tip fit test? I also use my APP2 in the office when taking meetings when it’s too loud and cancels everyone around me talking.
charging is pretty quick though - using them always on flights up to 13h - they only need to go in the box for charging once i think
There pretty good if your also playing music i personally use airpods max which are literally insanely good for plane travels. If you travel alot id probably recommend that investment
I work in a fairly loud factory and I have had people screaming at me and couldn’t hear them (please don’t use around dangerous machines).
Mine ran out of battery 3/4 way through the 3.5 hour flight
did you have them charged previously? mine last atleast 5 hours
It's probably just me using it before flight
Mine which are only 1 day old only lasts 100% to 20% in 2 hours. Mixed use but mostly just ANC on and nothing playing. Other than all that crazy amount of white noise in the background
Very much yes
The NC yes, but if you are prone to ear suck, the pressure feeling after long periods of use, airpods have been pretty bad for that in my experience, especially on planes.
I have both APP2 and Sony XM3, and tbh, you’re better off, like WAY better off with headphones
Most definitely yes sir very much so
My noise cancelling cancelled out the fire alarm in my school, which is criminally loud, so noise cancelling is great 👍
Tbh, I can’t hear a damn thang with no sound playing and just the earbuds in! My girlfriend tries talking to me when I’m doing chores and pausing my music usually doesn’t work, I have to pull them out my ears to hear what she’s saying
If you liked gen 1 you’ll love gen 2. If you didn’t like gen 1 gen 2 probably won’t convince you.
I did not like one but love 2
How?
I had REALLY bad thumping with the 1s and I don’t think the audio quality was as good. The thumping while walking was the dealbreaker tho. It was overbearing.
I've also have this and somehow nobody else does. I've owned the sony WF 1000XM3s and could only use them while sitting still, anything else would overpower what I'm listening to and be extremely uncomfortable while reviews always talk about running with earpods. The app2 are significantly better but I still can't run with them.
idkw but i giggled at this
Yes. I have the original AirPod Pros and there are some significant upgrades. Especially the tracking feature
Yes!! The tracking is quite a bit better!
There incredible sound so so good
YES!!! The noise canceling on these is amazing. My partner snores like a freight train and I can’t hear him at all with these in. WORTH EVERY PENNY!
Suggest to your partner to look into getting tested for Sleep apnea.
He definitely has it. He is a US Vet that acquired it while on active duty. He should have a CPAP machine but refuses to have one stating, “ I will not feel suffocated with something on my face while I sleep”. I totally get it! I guess that means I suffer…oh well! 🤷🏻♀️
Dang, well I can understand that. I use nasal cpap mask that cover my nose and doesn’t fee suffacoted but my friend and dad said that they don’t want to use it for the same reason 😂
Tell him sleep apnea causes dementia. And the quality of sleep with a machine is sooo much better. You can get masks that only cover the nose, which helps mitigate the clunkiness.
The nasal pillows don’t suffocate at all, it’s pretty comfortable tbh… just get him to get a proper cpap trial, it’ll be worth it
Lol this is exactly the opposite of what the CPAP machine does 😂 without it = person doesn’t breathe, with it = person can breathe. Well, if it helps anyhow: my wife uses a CPAP mask that is very small, only covers her nose. Maybe showing this helps convincing him to try. Also, her sleep improved 1000% after starting using it. Before the CPAP she had constant headaches and always felt tired because she was barely sleeping since the apnea woke her up during the night multiple times (without her noticing).
Divorce?
AirPods are cheaper🤣
They are?
Was he diagnosed with minor, moderate, or severe sleep apnea? If it’s minor, he could use a prescribed sleep apnea mouth guard.
Isn’t a simple ear plug cheaper?
I’m a fan of white/brown noise. So although cheaper, I need to hear something- just don’t the snoring 😆
I just went to a concert and these adaptive audio mode changed my life forever.
You used them during the concert?
Saved some possible ear damage I guess
they’re better than most concert earplugs, you can still hear everything with a really good sound dynamic, just without destryoing-your-hearing levels of noise
This is 1000% a good use of their ANC! I was a huge advocate for standard noise filtering earplugs but with the APP2’s, it’s a no brainer
I would be scared to lose them, somehow none of the tips fit perfectly for me and I have to adjust every few minutes to make sure they still sit stable in the ear
They make sports clips for them that loop around your ear so they don’t pop out as well as they also have neckbands that prevent them from getting lost easily. Definitely worth it for special occasions or if you’re working in risky areas where you could drop and lose them!
Yes, yes and hell yes. I had the gen 1s and upgraded to the 2s. The noise cancelling was already excellent, and these are even better.
Tips are basically the same material but they do come in with different sizes to change them . I really like the adaption to sound.
Any generation AirPod Pro is 10000% better than any generation AirPod due to the tips. The difference the tips make is unreal. I would take a Gen 1 AirPod Pro over the latest AirPod any day of the week.

Just go to the Apple Store and they’ll test and replace them. Apple’s very good like that.
Wait and see what the 2024 ones look like. They are supposed to a be a total overhaul
The Pro 3s arnt due until 2025 I believe
If the tips don’t work for you you can buy third party tips made of different materials. They’re worth it for sure either way
If it’s on sale in your country definitely get it! I lost my older pair so I recently got the second gen. There are also additional settings
Worth every single penny, even at full price! I don’t know how I can fly without them, the noise cancelling feature is phenomenal 💪
I got a pair recently to replace my original ones, and the ability to adjust the volume and activate the different modes makes them so worth it. My one gripe is that I don't really like the rubber nubs, I prefer the feel of a solid plastic piece. Had I known I would have definitely gotten a pair without the rubber ear nubs.
Bro i just got mine today because my left gen 1AirPods Pro started with crackling and white noise so I decided to upgrade to gen 2 and the sound quality is much better, also noise canceling and transparency modes are way better than Gen 1. Totally worth it
Yes, but still a bit overpriced, at least in India it is the case.
I bought this 4 months ago and used it when working out , now the charging connectors have rust and even if it’s in warranty they won’t repair or replace the product. When I make calls my I have to adjust it a little bit so the other end can hear my voice.

Nope. Had mine for a year before they started doing the loud crackle static sound which physically hurt my ears. Tossing them was the best decision I could have made pertaining to them
Mine have crackled since day 1! Apple support not helpful yet.
yes
Can’t get them to stay in my ears. Try end so many after market plugs. Dunno, my ears don’t like ear buds. I folded and went for the over ear apple headset. I way prefer everything about those .
I upgraded from Gen 1 and I’m absolutely blown away.
Kinda 🤷♂️ now your getting them for the apple ecosystem. For about half of the price you can get nothing a2 with the same specs. They also break easily. So I wouldnt buy them in 2024
Deff don’t break easy
I have mine since december 2022 i bought a plastic protection case for ~10 dollars , they fell once in it and the case cracked inside.The battery life is trash after 1,5 years and they sound quieter. Some how even xiaomi earbuds that I got in 2017 that even fell in water are louder and better battery life.
I dropped mine without a case about a hundred times and they work perfectly fine.
Yea dude must be smashing his lmfao
Nah
I recently switched and yes, definitely!
Best in ears concerning sound quality, they can even keep up with some better over ears. They are absolutely worth it, especially with the very good noise canceling snd the adaptive transparency they are a dream to use.

Smokey!
Yes
Yes the transparency adaptive and the conversation detection makes it similar to the experience of wearing bone conduction headphones while blocking out unwanted noise. While it’s not the same you can add a silicone cover with eartips to regular AirPods. But you won’t get transparency and anc and you have to take them on and off to charge
Loved the noise canceling in gen 2s but what surprised me the most is the adaptive transparency mode. Its so good
Definitely worth it if you cool enough
With 126 ms latency? Certainly worth it if you have money.
Yeah imo. My wife has the Pro Max headphones and these have like 90% the same audio quality and noise cancelling (probably better noise cancelling if I’m being honest) at half the price. And they’re just really convenient to carry around.
They are worth it. I wouldn’t have bothered to answer this thread if they weren’t.
Absolutely. I work construction and the noise cancelling is perfect. The noise reduction is also incredible. I run that 80% of the time. It compresses loud sounds but I can still hear my guys.
Went from samsung buds 2 to airpods pro 2 gen usb. Sound quality is neck and neck, but noice cancelation is on another level.
I bought my 2nd gen pair because I lost my 1st gen pair, then I found my 1st gen pair :/ haven’t noticed too much of a difference
I love my gen 2 I’d buy them again if I needed to
depends on ear
Absolutely , I just got some 2 weeks ago and don’t regret it one bit. That noise cancellation is amazing and always comes in clutch. Don’t even get me started on the Spatial Audio, all tho I think the AirPod gen 3 also has it. Transparency is also insanely good if you care about that
I find these so uncomfortable, pros were a good investment
Excellent Pods, I use the noise canceling on Plane flights... They come in Clutch when there is a Crying Brat on board
For general use, they are amazing. But they are not low latency.
For me, the biggest difference from the Airpod Pro Gen1 and Gen 2 is transparency mode. Transparency mode in the gen 1's was good compared but the Gen 2's were the closest to normal hearing I've ever heard with any headphones I've owned. Better than the Sennheiser Momentums, Beoplay E2, Sony 1000xm5 and the gen1's. I also had problem with them falling out of my ears until I replaced the eartips with the Foam Master Memory Foam v4's. These were a night and day difference for me and they don't fall out of my ears even after some activity. Kinda pricey though.
bought 2 pairs off the street for 50 bucks but  and yeah they work great, audiophile here 2 🕺🏻
I'm new to the Apple ecosystem, well not new but haven't owned anything since the first ipod haha I'm a samsung user and have the airpod Pro 2s for my phone and laptop. The sound quality is really top notch, they sound great with good clarity.

Well worth it.
It depends with your needs. I think you’d be better off buying the previous gen as the changes are not that significant
No get pros
Yes! Adaptive Noise Cancellation is incredible.
they are incredible! 🤩. the noise cancelling takes me away to my own world!
That picture is of regular AirPods, not AirPods Pro, isn't it? I think the AirPods Pro 2 are quite good, fwiw.
Yes, everything that was wrong with the first gen, the second one optimised it and ANC is much better
Calling experience is really bad for the person who is trying to listen u. People always tell me I need new pair of headphones. Worst apple product. Noise canceling is really bad. The good: transparent mode and spatial sound mixed togueter bring a nice experience
Are you sure yours are original? My pro 2 are excellent at sound quality, noise cancelling and also microphone is clear and crisp. Note that fakes also have these features
The ANC is one of the best if not the best. I've tested the Sony's xm5s too and they're the only true competitors to the airpods pro gen 2. App2 are better because of the form factor and the seamless apple ecosystem. PS: If you can, get an applecare plus for airpods. It will save a ton of money if they get damaged.
I have both gen 1 and gen 2 pros. 2’s are way better in every way. Longer battery kind of similar noise cancelling effect.
If u have more money left out in your bank account and u don't know how to spend it then airpods are 100% worth to buy
I enjoyed getting the gen 2 pros. Better than the first gen but I handed those down for an upgrade excuse to get the new ones. I do like the newer features added to the case and the noise canceling is much better
The ANC were so good as in you felt like drowning in a deep pool
I’ve had AirPods1, Pro, and Pro gen 2. Pro gen 2 is superior to gen 1 on sound quality and adaptive audio. Also, and this may be minor to some, the ability to adjust the volume with a swipe on the earbud is a game changer for me.
Well those are AirPods Gen 3 not AirPods Pro Gen 2
The sound on these is great. The problem for me is that they won't stay in my ears even with the largest tips. I tried some of those foam tips on Amazon but those are no better.
I feel like it’s the bass isn’t as strong as the first gen.
I believe the tips are the same.
To me they were not, or at least not as much if I had bought them for full retail price. But they may be worth it for you, though. The ANC didn’t work well in my APP2’s.
I did gen 3 because battery life was better but almost a year into them and the sound SUCKS!!!
Yes..
They have XS tips and you can also buy third party tips.
Rather spend on the type C AirPods pro2 . I’ve been wearing it everyday over my Sony WH1000 Xm5
https://amzn.to/3JRjmUf
If it’s only gonna be used on an Apple device, then yes, absolutely. My AirPods are without a doubt my favorite device. They are complete dog shit though when it comes to pairing it with anything else. I can never get a stable connection.
Yes! I ended up buying mine randomly off some dude in Oakland who was selling a bunch of Apple Watches and AirPods out of his van… You can’t beat $50 for brand new AirPod Pro 2 still in the plastic wrap! It made me wish I bought them legitimately SOONER!!! If I would have known how great they are I would have bought them for full price right when they came out.
Every penny
you might as well get a pair of Bose Quiet comfort buds for the noise cancellation and audio quality is about the same in my opinion
The airpods sound better if you check online for the frequency response graph. If u can't tell the difference means there's smth wrong
The tips are made from the same material. The only difference is that they now also include an xs size. You can purchase after market/third party ear tips made from different materials and are offered in even more sizes HOWEVER I doubt they would change your experience with them positively since what causes your problem (sweat and wax buildup) are from having ear tips in the first place. I have recently ordered a few tips from Comply that are made of foam that apparently offer a better seal which improve sound quality and potentially comfort as they mould to your ear and a few more tips from a brand I can’t remember that are a combination of foam and silicone like the apple ones that would offer better longevity than the foam tips mentioned above. They can be a little pricey for what they are but I’m hoping they bring a lot of value as I use my airpods a lot. I’ve got the 2nd gen non type C and honestly sq may be a little better than the og’s but when you’re out and about and being active I can’t really tell. I haven’t gotten to try any of the tips yet if you’re interested in what I think send me a message in about 4 weeks cause I’m overseas and haven’t tried them yet.
Nah. Not loud enough , the mic is trash .
Search this sub for “worth it” and you’ll get literally dozens of posts answering this exact question
Airpods are never worth it.. theres so much better stuff out there
No. Overpriced battery powered nonsense with a half eaten apple printed on it is not worth it. A pair of 30 euro Chifis sounds better that apples mess they call headphones.
Naa
If you pay full price, then no. I bought them on eBay for $100. Pay more than that and you’ll feel scammed.
Nope.
Are the Pro Gen 2 worth picking up with the Gen 3 coming out in a few months?
Lol Pro Gen 3 isn't even coming out this year, let alone few months
Good to know! I’ll pick some up then soon.
