[@normannutbar424]

Wow, I loved watching this review. Thank you. We do, however, disagree on a few things. I am an audio engineer, and honestly, I like the sound of my AirPod pros almost as much as my $4,000 studio monitors! They don’t shape the sound at all. People tend to like speakers and headphones that “add” bass, or “add” sparkle, but, of course, really good speakers or headphones don’t “add” anything. Honestly, the reproduction is very, very good in these! On the flip side, however, they feel fragile and all apple earbuds, including these, tend to work loose and eventually drop out of my ears, which is strange because my ears hold on to all other earbuds like they’re bolted in! The noise cancelling, on these is comparable to my Bose QCs.

[@MS-pd2yo]

........ What? What are you mixing on? Genelec? Airpods clearly have mid bump.

[@badopinion]

Loved the review too and agree. I enjoy the signature and sound of these. I think the price/performance/package is pretty impressive actually.

[@unerbittlich]

Thanks commenting!

[@justspaztik]

Just got the Bose QC45s and the noise canceling is a little bit better than the AirPod Pros in my experience. I like the Bose better, overall but wanted the Pros for busting around outside or when I want to be more discreet with my music listening. I’m not gonna bust our giant over eat headphones just anywhere. That’s an “at home” type of thing to me.

Thanks for the great review! I would consider myself an Audiophile aswell, using my Beyerdynamics DT 1990 Pros as my everyday headphones at home (Schiit Magni/Modi Stack) Since my old bluetooth earphones somehow got technical issues after just 5 months, I went for the AirPods Pro for all the convenience, especially since I‘m using an iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and can flawlessly switch between devices. But how about sound quality? I am personally pleased with how they sound for casual wearing. They aren‘t as precise as 1More Tripple drivers (obviously no chance against the beyers, no comparison needed here), but they‘re yet detailled enough to enjoy your music, no matter how complex it is. Bass is punchy and very precise, whilst not being as overloaded as the 1Mores bass (which is still precise, but incredibly strong, probably just for bassheads, didn‘t enjoy it long term). What I‘m absolutely fine with is the mids, nothing to complain about. Here, they are fair competition to the 1Mores. Fun thing about the fit and silicon earplugs: I had custom aftermarket foam pads on my 1More and yes, soundquality improved. But no, wearing comfort for me did not at all. Somehow, I seem to have massive issues wearing foam pads and I sadly can‘t get any in ear headphones to permanently fit well without falling out. BUT the AirPods Pro managed to do exactly this. This makes them an absolute winner for me. Also, regarding noise cancellation: I‘ve been going with Sonys WH-1000XM2 and the original XMR-1000 (don‘t have them anymore, both had a strange cracking/vibrating sound after ~1 year whilst listening to music, especially during bassy parts, sounded like a loose piece of metal) and the mark 2‘s noise cancellation was obviously superior to the AirPods Pro‘s, but not at all with the same wearing comfort. As you said, the AirPods Pro aren‘t even realisable in the ear. When I first plugged them into my ears I was blown away, because I was in the middle of a busy train station and suddenly had complete silence listening to music (for the first time not even being capable of hearing my own steps, that didn‘t work using overears before) whilst not even feeling any headphones and being sure they fit😂 All in all, great review, fair point regarding sound quality, it‘s not yet comparable to wired InEar quality, but considering technical complexity of fitting all this into such incredibly tiny inears together with a reliable battery they are definitely the best go-to completely wireless inear headphones in total. If you want the best audio quality, you truly don‘t want to go for wireless headphones of any kind. If you want great inear sound quality and don‘t really care about a neckband and NoiseCancelling, get the 1More Tripple Driver Bluetooth at just above 100$. (To my knowledge, they‘re available with ANC for additional 20-30$), but forget about the convenience of AirPods on the go;)

[@Ese1Pac]

I love my AirPods Pro but I really don’t like how they removed the tapping controls. I really liked tapping twice on my right ear to skip a song or on my left to rewind a song. I don’t understand what you meant with “painful” or “annoying” since all it required was two really light taps.

[@thebuddercweeper]

I agree somewhat, but have you tried tapping on AirPods Pro? *that* would be painful and annoying, because the sound is amplified by the silicone tips and transparency mics. I like the tapping on AirPods, but I appreciate that it just wouldn’t have worked on AirPods Pro.

[@FruitFrucht]

As an audiophile i think the sound quality of the airpods pro sounded really good. Its not like audiophile grade headset but its good enough to non audiophile ppl. Our standard of sound quality isn’t their lvl, but the sound it produced is actually loved by a lot of audiophile. Crisp meds and good enough bass and high makes it perfect, not too warm and bass heavy but perfect for variety of types of ppl from teenage to old. Some headphone (audiophile grade) sounded very technical which is not everyone can appreciate like how good the bass how detailed it is. You just need a balance signature suitable for everyone.

That's the feature that sells me on the 1st gen, and kills all of my interest in the Pro. Also before anyone says "but you need that for the Pro's features to work", I understand that. It doesn't make the Pro any more appealing to me when the #1 thing I personally like about the Airpods is sacrificed for it.

Here's a tip for sound quality on the airpod pros which seems to have slipped under the radar. Put on your go-to quality testing music, I use Temptation from Diana Krall. Go into... Settings Accessibility Audio/Visual Headphone Accommodations -[ON] You can then listen with several different equalizer settings and find the one you like the most. If you need help there is a "Custom Audio Setup" that will help you by going through several choices. There is also a possibility to use music that Apple suggests if you like with a "Play Sample" button lower down the page.

[@wendystacos7447]

This was honestly just a really well made video. The quality and explanations were great. The animations and interactivity were great.

[@Rawwr1ful]

so many headphone (particularly airpods) reviews seem to put sound quality as an afterthought, thank you for a great and informative review!

[@petee1968]

"Willing to sacrifice performance for convenience" - you hit the nail on the head there. For me, the connection stability and multi-device connection are the killer features. No other wireless headphone is anything like as accomplished as the AirPods Pro in this respect. This makes them a no-brainer as commuting headphones for me. Great review, thanks!

[@RockBandRS]

That's the one upside to a walled garden. Everything seamlessly works in tandem.

[@TheNewNo1se]

The convenience is amazing right? The biggest one for me personally though is how they fit, original AirPods are just terrible and majority of other brands are way too bulky to warrant extended wearing times, but the AirPods pro are absolutely spot on, that combined with the convenience I’m finding I’m listening to more music than ever despite owning superior sounding headphones/earbuds.

[@guspaz]

@@RockBandRS I'm switching them between an iPhone and a Windows 10 PC, and they're working great on both, easily switching back and forth. The microphone quality is terrible on Windows, but I'm not sure whose fault that is: Windows is limiting the mic to 8khz.

[@asmc1492]

It's not convenient. You need to turn on Bluetooth than go to settings and connect them from there.

[@HAWXLEADER]

12:12 water resistance... wouldn't count on it, 70% alcohol that accidentally got in when I sprayed the tips caused the right headphone to rattle whenever I touch it, walk, or anything bassy is going on outside (either in transparency mode or noise cancelling), internal 40-60Hz sine causes the right one to rattle while the left is sounding just like a bass sine wave. (on 80% volume and up) I have to go down to 40 to cause it to rattle and only once I've passed 120hz it stops to rattle. I know 80% volume is A LOT but noise canceling or transparency will cause them to rattle no matter the volume.

Do the air pods pro have average sound quality? That’s the only thing I worry about. I have beats X just now and although there not truly wireless the sound quality is great!

[@BlakeBurdeenPlus]

Great review - spot on. Wish I had seen this before I bought the Sony’s... I sent back my Sony’s for the Air Pod Pros - for all the reasons you’ve mentioned plus one more you didn’t. Yes, the Sony earbuds dropped connections all the time, didn’t switch devices well, had weird battery charge/gauge issues, and are not the most comfortable. But the sound was so great (until you turn on the NC) over everything else! But, the dealbreaker for me was how BAD the microphones on the Sony’s are! People on calls couldn’t hear me - even in a quiet room - had to revert to the phone more than once. I could’ve put up with a lot of issues from the Sony’s for that sound - but not being able to take phone calls isn’t one...

[@victuringan1429]

Earphones with ANC really have bad microphone quality

[@BlakeBurdeenPlus]

Red Hood the air pod pros are pretty good

[@po.russki]

That’s what I like about Apple, they generally get a lot of things right all around and rarely forget on something like microphone sensitivity. Probably cause they have so many employees

[@Jannacek]

ah... i'm having the same issue, got the sony's, am really happy with them, but am about to send them back, because of the microphone issue, plus i guess siri and pairing works a bit more seamlessly with airpods (although it havent found it bad with sony), still, do prefer the bigger not white case(harder to lose so easily, and the white i find cheap and ugly) and the larger battery life...

[@balchin]

I had the exact same problems with my Sony WF1000-XM3s. The people on the other side of the call say I sound like a Robot and I have the take them out for calls. I could forgive them if they cost £50 but certainly not for their price. Amazon have insisted on a "repair" rather than a refund twice and they're still not working. I've sent them back for a third time… Not the usual Amazon service I'm used to. I love the sound of the Sony's but they're completely unreliable. I tested the Air Pods Pro last week and they were technically flawless!

[@yachtwish]

After watching endless reviews and mulling over it for a few weeks I decided to buy the standard airpods with wireless charging. Picked them up at target for $159.99. Would’ve loved to have the extra features of the pro but not sure they were worth the extra 90 bucks for me personally. Watching this video after the fact almost makes me regret it but time will tell. So far so good.
