Apple AirPods Pro 2 - Real World REVIEW! (Not What I Expected...)

[@Thetechchap]

Hey Chaps! What Earphones/Headphones do you use?? Update: The Noise App only registers the Pro 2’s noise reduction. My mistake, although anecdotally I do believe the new Pros are much better - in the order of 2x as Apple claims

[@ibrahimh7982]

To all those who went to the comment section of this video first, this is a good solid review. He actually covers what it's like to use this product in real life as opposed to just rehashing what apple described during the event. Also not many reviews actually do a microphone test, I know that is important to a lot of people.

[@Chrish23]

Bought these yesterday and they are a solid upgrade from the Gen 1s. I use mine every day for commuting and also at work on calls. The noise cancelling is a noticeable upgrade and I like the extra bass on the sound. Walked around a busy city centre yesterday with no music and it really did dampen more sound. Been playing music and podcasts today. See what the microphones sound like tomorrow on some Teams calls and how they handle the train on the commute.

Tell us about the calls! My current AirPods Pros, the call quality is my only gripe. People always complaining I sound like crap. Especially outside. One tip: in FaceTime audio you can select 'voice isolation mode' for better calls. But only use this with friends I'm willing to ask to call me back via FaceTime

[@kriegstic]

The transparency mode is so realistic in the new pods 2 I actually had a moment today thinking that I didn’t have them on today. Compared to my old one

[@xbt2459]

true at a supermarket I turned the transparency mode on and about 10 minutes later I forgot I was wearing those🤣

To my ears, the audio quality actually is significantly better than the original pros, and I actually enjoy the sound out of the originals. Worthy upgrade for sure

[@zachhotchkiss]

The Apple Watch app currently only shows the reduced volume level when using the new pros. When you had the original ones in it was just telling you how loud the environment was.

[@AaronFigFront]

Also the decibel scale is not linear, it is logarithmic. Sound doubles or halves by every 3db.

[@Mehwhatevr]

Yeah thanks for pointing this out, I was scratching my head about whether the watch factored in the AirPods Pro 1 gen for sound level. Just wearing them probably cuts the noise level from 60 to 40.

[@Mehwhatevr]

@@AaronFigFront or 10x for every 10 decibels. So if the airpod pro 2 is 30 db and the 1 is 60 db. Then the noise volume in the AirPods Pro 1 would be larger by a factor of 1000. 😂

[@1967dragonaxe]

Just ordered a pair today. Have had a pair of the old Gen2’s since 2020, and while I absolutely love how well they consistently pair, I use the train a lot and am fed up with having to crank the volume up to the max in order to drown out the noise! Very much looking forward to spatial audio too 😊

[@ChrisLavenderinhd]

I got a pair of AirPods Max just under a year ago. I really liked how they sounded but I found them a bit hot on my head for extended wear. Then, a while ago, I tried some Nothing Ear (1)’s and was pleasantly surprised by how they sounded. Although the AirPods Max sounded much better, the convenience of reaching for the Nothing ear buds meant that the AP Max got very little use. So I decided to take the plunge and buy some AP Pro 2’s on launch day and I’m blown away by them.

I am very impressed with the ANC on the new Pros. It’s almost as good as my xm4. They are much more comfortable too, no more vacuum feeling in ears. They feel more like regular AirPods. Definitely worth the upgrade! Hopefully, Apple doesn’t turn down the ANC with software updates like they did with AirPods Pro 1st gen.

[@marshallsmith8975]

Bought a pair today. First time using AirPods. Was a little hesitant to buy these because I generally have issues keeping earbuds in my left ear unless it has wing tips. Heard a lot of people complaining about the fit. To my pleasant surprise, they fit really well and don’t fall out. My only minor gripe is that I wish they pumped out just a bit more bass for music, but that’s just nit picking. Overall, first impressions, I’m very happy with them so far.

[@guangyi]

Great review! Minor thing - when ambient sound went from ~60 dB to ~30dB, it’s not a reduction by half as the decibel scale is logarithmic :)

[@mitchellwhitfield4704]

Yes. A 10dB increase is DOUBLE the noise and vice versa

[@aocxe]

@@mitchellwhitfield4704 I thought 10db does 10x the volume?

Ok, I love ya Tech Chap and enjoy all of your reviews - keep up the great work. That being said... I ended up upgrading from the OGs to the APP2s and I have to say that (and I know you gave a disclaimer) that the sound in the 2s are way way better with more lows and better mids. I am surprised that you only thought it was 5-10% better (7:25 minute mark). I almost didn't buy them from that comment alone but so glad I did. To each his own. Carry on and thanks for all you do.

[@kumarskand9255]

You mentioned everything except one thing: when I'm wearing AirPods Pro 2 while riding a bike with Transparency mode on, it automatically cuts out the wind noise. I've watched many videos on KZbin, but no one has covered this. Now, I’m not sure if this is a feature of Transparency mode or a bug in my AirPods, Whenever I ride a bike or sit directly in front of a table fan, it cancels out the wind noise, similar to Adaptive mode.

[@bluej1n333]

I personally upgraded for the sound quality alone and it was totally worth it. The bass is so much fuller, treble sounds clearer, wider sound stage, not to mention all the other improvements with noise cancelation, spatial audio, battery life, etc. Worth the upgrade from the old pros imo

This is an excellent review of what to expect, and the microphone quality is far better in the 2nd generation. Trying to figure out if my are defective due to two things: 1. They constantly drop/cut out when I use them on my Macbook playing KZbin videos. They don't seem to drop when using with my iPhone. 2. There is a lot of crackling when playing back from Audacity. It's not in the recording, my other monitors have confirmed.

[@legxndares]

The extra small ear tip is a life saver for my ears. I can now comfortably use them. At times when touching the left AirPod while noise cancellation is on I still notice a tiny bit of sound escaping but I just snug it a lil bit and it’s all good. So safe to say my left ear has a problem with silicone ear tips😅. Safe to say these are one of the best earphones.

Very tempting to upgrade for the improved noise cancelling.

[@leighaskin1653]

I would upgrade purely to have volume control on my ear buds

[@MissouriAdventures]

The one thing I’m looking for, which every reviews fails to really talk about, is how well the microphone works in noisy atmospheres. I drive a truck, so I would LOOOOVE to be able to lose my big headset with microphone piece. Just using an earbud is so much more comfortable but most do not work, or work poorly to have a normal conversation while driving a truck. I wish you would do a more comprehensive test on the microphone.

[@kodiak4u]

I hear this guys voice only in my left ear. And come on dude the sound is noticeably better. I have both and it’s night and day.

[@repla2992]

It looks like the microphone performance and noise cancellation are significantly better with the 2nd gen airpods pro. I already have a gen 1 set and i am not sure if i have to replace it with the new ones. I think i will skip the change and try the new ones when the gen 1s’ battery gets worse. (If on that day the 3rd gen isn’t introduced 😊).

[@nicabc]

What I've noticed about the ANC on these, is that sometimes they compensate for bad fit on one ear, I could pull one earbud out a little bit and it adjusts, thus giving me equal ANC in both ears, it really is a game changer compared to 1st gen, my left earhole is a bit bigger than the right one.

[@29kalel]

I own both pair and I will disagree completely with the audio sound quality. The second gen are way better than the first ones. The dynamic equalizer that adjusts to the type of audio track being played is crazy good. The sound strange on the pro 2’s is wider and more is definitely heard.
