Apple - AirPods Pro 1

I wanted to dislike them cause they’re so generic and corporate and whatever else, but when I lost my first pair (which i loved) and tried two other wireless buds (which i did not love half as much) and went back to Airpods pros, I decided it was time to admit they are JUST very good. I don’t think anything beats them right now that I’m aware of. The battery life is great, they connect to an iPhone or Mac seamlessly, every part of it recharges fast, case beeps on Find My if you need to, noise cancelling is quite good (heavily relied on for planes and trains). Small and comfortable enough that I’ve fallen asleep with them in as a side sleeper. It still feels so lame shilling for a major company’s product this hard cause they don’t need the marketing help at all. But they just are the gold standard right now.

I tried bose, sennheiser, sony, etc ... airpods has the sound quality and microphone pick-up altogether. try the airpods pro (especially the noise cancelling)

I think it is worth just getting the pros. They will last longer and will be worth it more than others. The ease of use can’t be beat.

Needing them to drop before mid November. I am still rocking AirPod pro 1’s that I want to upgrade for an international flight I’m taking then. Fingers crossed.

They’re excellent! Much better than the AirPods 3 and the ANC is way better than I had expected. Of course the Pro’s can do ANC way better, but they are doing a good job. Plus less stressful for some ears.

so since i get wet earwax should i go with the 4 instead of the pros? i had the pros before and yes it would slip right out of my ear and it would feel wet afterwards. i have never used the airpods 4 before. i do have a pair of beats solo buds and its literally so perfect! which airpods would be most similar to the beats solo buds in shape and size?

AirPods Pro 1 and 2 were incredible but they simply fell out of my ears. I liked the Comply tips but they fell apart so quickly and in any wet weather they were ruined. So these are a day one buy for me.

I use my AirPods Pro.

Yep ???? I completely agree. The amount of use I get out of the AirPods Pro is insane and defo value for money for me being in the Apple ecosystem.

I’m pretty harsh on mine and they are still holding up well enough. My first gen pros crapped out on me within like a year or 2 so these are already much better.

I have the air pods and they work seamless with both.

The pro's are the best earbuds I ever bought. I use them every day all year long at work, I still have my first gen pro's, you will have them for a long time!

oh, okay, so anyways, as i was saying, the airpods pro are the best earbuds

Air pods pros are your choice if you want a Bluetooth, with a good use for everything, if it's within your price range. Although I hate apple I must admit this.

Yes, but the Airpods Pros are already considered the best Earbuds of all, so the best Airpods Pro is also the greatest of all time

I end up getting a Bluetooth adapter and connecting my AirPods Pro that way. It’s been working great.

I have buds 2 pro, airpod pro, and bose quiet comfort buds. Galaxy buds are good, not great. Anc is acceptable, transparency is a little tinny/echoey. My biggest complaint is that you can't use transparency with only one buds in which is my most common use since I wear them at work. Air pod pros were great. I used to have an iPhone so that's why I automatically went with them a couple years ago. Anc is great, transparency is very clear and can be used with just one bud. My complaint here was that they just didn't play well with my flip 6. I had weird times where the volume would spike or drop and I could never remember the stem controls for changing the modes. Bose quiet comfort buds (not the ultras) are my winner. No stem, though they do stick out a bit from the ear. Excellent anc and transparency that work with just one bud in. They stay in my ears better and have a really good app. The bass is just incredible compared to the others. It really blew me away at first. I also can't remember the last time I charged them. For them all being about the same price I'd go Bose 100%

The AirPod Max is amazing on an airplane. It’s like all the noise just turns off. I also like them in the office when I need to block out the outside. The AirPod or AirPod pro are more convenient when you aren’t sitting around. I find the Max to be too much when I’m out and about, but never feel that way with the other.

Airpods pro are pretty good, but regardless you need to try before buying. Ymmv

Those and the Pros also charge on Apple Watch chargers if you have one too

Works great. You can turn off the noise canceling with a finger press.

Planning on upgrading mine I got in 2020 at the start of Covid. My APP1 have been through a lot together with me in the last ~5 years.

I really hope they improve the ambient mode, I want to be able to safely bike while wearing my AirPods. beyond that I really hope they make the case with replaceable battery. right now these are disposable and only last around 2-3 years for me.

I've recently been using the Airpod Pros as my go-to walking around earbuds. The sound is great and the noise cancelling is also phenomenal, but I've been recently getting distracted with them. I struggle with streaks of dissociation, and even in the "Transparent" modes I get too lost with music playing. I'm not sure if it's the way that they plug my ears or whatnot, but I used to rock the WF-1000XM3s and I always felt present (even with noise canceling). Am I bugging or is this a real phenomenon? Are there other earbuds (or maybe super portable headphones) that would make me feel a little more present?

I have not noticed any delay. I was surprised it works when I set it up with zero extra tweaks My AirPods don’t work on pop os.

If you are on an Apple phone, give AirPod pros a try. First, and most importantly for you, nobody is mentioning AppleCare. $15 a year and they will replace them every time they fail, or even if you lose one. Even in your hard use case. If you are not on an Apple phone, you may still want to give them a try just because of the AppleCare. I don’t know, but I hear they’re kind of a pain in the ass in other ecosystems. The rest of my thoughts. They are my favorite pair of earbuds, because of features they offer that make them a GREAT complete package. For instance, automatically pausing playback when I take them out of my ear. The spatial audio is decent, and the volume adjustment for noise is very very good, I never even notice it happening. I like that I can nod my head to answer a call, it’s useful. Things like that make them all around winners for me. I know some of these things are available on other earbuds, but they just work better on the apples. The noise canceling is much better than anything else I’ve tried, although I hear that Sony is better. And it is supposed to be even better on the 3s, but I haven’t tried those. I have had a couple of pairs of ear pods that have significantly better sound, and I have had lots and lots that have significantly worse sound. In that aspect, they are an B plus.

I don't necessarily think that they do overcharge. AirPods are excellent. I've had a pair of AirPods Pro for six years, and AirPods Pro 2 for three. I also had Sony WF-1000XM4s and XM5s, which have better noise cancellation than those, but are significantly more expensive. Apparently the AirPods Pro 3 have even better noise cancellation than the Sonys. If you're someone with an iPhone, MacBook or iPad, the AirPods are even better. If you don't use any Apple products, I wouldn't even consider them.

I still got APP and they work like a charm
