To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. kzbin.infoUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.

One earbud noise cancellation is mostly for using transparency mode when you use them as hands free headset. It’s also accessibility feature for those who for example don’t hear on one ear and therefore use only one earbud. Also you can change what canceling options it cycles through when holding buds by clicking “left” or “right” in Press and Hold settings.

[@Dave-cg9li]

Got these and I love them, I think most people will prefer the slightly higher bass and I can still clearly hear everything else. It has the same features as the airpods pro + the skin detection sensor which is amazing. Just the case quality really isn't outstanding, but it works and charges really quickly. The bud battery life is better than on the airpods pro. The microphone is slightly worse because there's no stems - it's further away from the mouth so it sometimes struggles. A lot of reviewers say that they have problems with accidental button taps, but when you use it for more than a few hours, you learn how to put them in without that. And the wing also hurt me at first, but the ear kinda "adjusts" and gets used to it relatively quickly, even if the pain was annoying.

[@ArrowOfTruth01]

They're just movies is the best! Happy to see it getting plugged here :)

[@raulgalets]

I am using the a Baseus headphone and I think they nailed the paring process. Just open the case and it will be detectable. If you remove one of them you can pair just the one in case you wanna save battery or make a call. If you disable bluetooth and enable it will pair again automatically. if it unpairs just hold-tap until it beeps, there you go paired again. Touch interface is ok, right double tap pauses and resumes, right triple skips and left triple go back. It misses sometimes but is good enough.

There's a difference between Spatial Audio and Spatial Audio headtracked though. To say Spatial Audio is the head turning thing is wrong to a certain degree. It's ONE of the modes. Spatial audio in itself is great. Not as bad as all the wanna be virtual surround shit that has been a thing so far. The headtracked thing I don't need with music, but I do not mind it when watching movies. It's just something along the lines of not actually having earbuds/headphones on, nice simulation, I guess. What the God damn ever. But also, and no one ever God damn mentions that, the headtracked spatial audio prevents listening fatigue. Let's disregard listening fatigue, which many people experience, it plays especially well with autistic people. I've met plenty who are very sensible to loud noises (To the point of excruciating pain). To not have everything blasting from all the sides in stereo (which is worse than having it spatial, around you), you can have it on one or the other side every other minute, or multiple times per minute, or what the hell ever through the head tracking. Helps tremendously with that kind of stuff.

[@yannikbraun503]

Good that you pointed that out

[@littlejackalo5326]

Oh man, that's so painful to read. Of course you're going to use people with the tism to bolster your argument. And you've "met plenty" who experience excruciating pain? Where are you meeting all these autistic people, engaging in conversation about ear buds, and then jabbing all of them tell you about the excruciating pain they experience? Come on.

[@SanderEvers]

12:40 actually that's only half correct. If you use Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos / multichannel content. It will automatically place these channels virtually around you. This is why (front) stereo is made to come from the device. With the right content (movies, spatial audio on Apple music) it's absolutely works perfectly.

[@b33thr33kay]

But... Do you need the special apple chip for that? Why is it even a feature of the headphone, instead of the player?

[@diamondmcpro]

@@b33thr33kay i could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the earbuds themselves do all of the processing for the spatial audio

[@russellclark2651]

Yeah, that wasn't a very accurate explanation of what spatial audio is (the video, not your comment). The head tracking is just an optional feature on the side that works well with it.

That’s not what spatial Audio is… that’s head tracking, a sub-feature within spatial audio that can easily be turned off. I think James should give spatial audio another shot, with a track that is properly mastered for it.

I’m undecided between those and the soundcore liberty pro 3 But I’m probably going for the latter, they seem to be the best option. That circular tip looks scary tho, those beats are shaped like the AirPods Pro which are the most comfortable I ever wore

Wow I'm surprised you don't like spatial audio when watching movies. I use the air pods pro with my apple tv often when watching movies. It's basically like having a full surround sound system in your living room, or similar to a movie theater. The immersive feeling you get is incredible for dolby atmos movies. I tried the "spatialized stereo" feature when listening to music while working but that's actually a bit weird. In that case I prefer stereo.

[@rufusvonpieru1588]

Yeah I LOVE it for movies and tv. Even with the head tracking disabled, it brings the sonic experience to a whole new level. It’s good enough that I don’t mind too much having to watch it on a smaller screen :) Very much a mixed bag with music though. Sometimes the spatialise stereo mode sounds better than proper atmos mixes.
