I got the showtime generation AirPods for Christmas inwards 2017 (you can
read my review on them HERE) as well as accept never looked back. There is something then freeing almost going cordless, as well as it's 1 of my favorite Apple inventions to date! Just the mobility as well as usability of these were plenty to sing their praises from the rooftop.
I used them for 2 corporation years until the novel AirPod Pros came out. Did I demand to supplant them? No, non really, but for something I used every day like the AirPods, I wanted to construct sure as shooting I had the best applied scientific discipline available! And, equally poor equally it is to say, the AirPods only weren't getting loud plenty for me.
There must accept been a larger final result because they started out then strong, but over fourth dimension got truly placidity -- fifty-fifty at max volume. I flora myself trying to jam it inwards my ear many times to acquire the max volume. When I flora the AirPod Pros were available on Amazon, I decided to elbow grease them out as well as encounter what the hype was all about. I call back the showtime fourth dimension I set them on was correct earlier our trip to Disney, as well as I plugged them inwards my ears, ready to connect to my phone, as well as the aerodrome went silent. I was similar WOAAAHHHH. I also made Andrew elbow grease the same thing, as well as he had the same reaction.
The noise-canceling characteristic on the AirPod Pros is AMAZING. It's worth-all-the-money amazing as well as it's 1 of -- if non my most -- favorite characteristic of the Pros. It cancels dissonance equally good equally some of my over-the-ear headphones as well as has saved me many of times on airplanes.
But it's non only the noise-canceling characteristic I love. There is also a transparency manner that allows the exterior solid set down within your ears. I don't know how it works, but it's similar a microphone picking upwards what's going on around yous as well as sharing it amongst the music inwards your headphones. I dear using this at the aerodrome earlier boarding (so I know when my grouping is beingness called), around the urban centre (so I'm aware of my surroundings) as well as sometimes on calls inwards populace (so I know I'm non talking also loud).
Some other features that I truly dear are the novel controls + Siri capability. Instead of tapping/touching the stalk of the AirPods a sure as shooting number of times to command your headphones, yous directly pinch the stalk once, twice, or 3 times depending on what yous need. Siri also reads your messages out loud for yous piece your AirPods are in, which is peculiarly prissy at the gym!
The AirPod Pros are also (in my opinion) to a greater extent than comfortable as well as slowly to habiliment than the previous generation. Not exclusively are they smaller, but they also accept a silicone head, which helps seal them in, concur them inwards place, as well as give amend good quality. Instead of the one-size-fits-all AirPods of the past, the Pros truly come upwards amongst 3 dissimilar silicone caput options depending on what is best for your ear. They fifty-fifty accept a fit bear witness where Apple volition play music as well as tell yous which one, if non both, needs to hold upwards readjusted. It's brilliant.
I've had them for almost 3 months directly as well as accept traveled the globe amongst them. I cannot tell plenty practiced things almost them!! I LOVE them as well as highly recommend if you're inwards the marketplace for some pro headphones.
I also wanted to acquire a lilliputian to a greater extent than in-depth amongst the Q&A below. So give thank yous you to all who sent inwards their messages!!
Q: What's the divergence betwixt the Pro + the regular/generation 2 AirPods? A: I would tell the biggest differences are the price, the shape/size, a customizable fit (Pros), dissonance cancelation (Pros) as well as H2O resistance (Pros). You tin encounter the differences best compared HERE.
Q: Are they worth the price? A: This is totally subjective as well as ever difficult to answer. Personally, do I think paying $250 was worth it? Yes, because I accept used them every twenty-four hours for 3 months as well as volition give-up the ghost on to role them at the same pace. I ever await at something as well as think if I interruption downwards the number of days I volition wear/use the product, volition that -- divided past times the cost -- hold upwards worth it?
Q: Why did yous desire to upgrade? A: I wanted to upgrade at showtime because I idea something was incorrect amongst my AirPods. The good wasn't truly working that good inwards my left ear. But 1 time I flora out the novel Pros had dissonance cancellation, I decided to seize amongst teeth the bullet as well as switch!
Q: I heard at that topographic point are dissimilar sizes. Is that true? A: Yes! The silicone tips come upwards inwards 3 sizes that yous tin mix as well as correspond with. There is a fit bear witness nether the information push on your Bluetooth connector amongst the AirPod Pros that volition assist yous bear witness which size is best for yous as well as the good quality. I currently role the Medium inwards 1 ear as well as the Large inwards the other.
Q: How long do they concur a accuse for? A: Apple says they tin concluding upwards to v hours of continuous use. I personally accuse them almost 1 time every 10 or then days as well as accept never truly had an final result amongst battery life. They concur a accuse really well, only similar the AirPods (Gen 1 as well as 2).
Q: Is it waterproof? Can yous shower amongst them in? A: No, they are non waterproof, as well as no, yous cannot shower inwards them. They are water-resistant, which agency they are OK if yous sweat inwards them or are using them inwards lite pelting conditions. The regular AirPods are non water-resistant.
Q: Do yous prefer these over other brands? A: I don't accept whatever other brands of wireless headphones. Still, I do accept a distich of noise-canceling over-the-ear headphones from Audiotechnica, as well as yes, I prefer the Apple AirPods more. The rest of role (it literally connects to your telephone inwards 1 step, as well as automatically after that), as well as the size is something that makes me attain for them to a greater extent than than anything else.
Q: Top 3 reasons to purchase them? A: The dissonance cancellation/transparency mode, the rest of use, as well as the good quality.
Q: Are they comfortable? A: This is a large give-and-take amongst yous all because I've never flora whatever AirPods (the pros or the regular) to hold upwards uncomfortable. Take that for what yous will! You definitely can't slumber inwards them, but I've never used them as well as thought, "Wow these are uncomfortable." The Pros definitely accept a amend ear shape, as well as the silicone tips assist amongst comfort overall.
I do think it's worth a refer to beak almost how they do non create a hurtful seal. Maybe that's only me, but at that topographic point are times when I'm putting inwards Andrews's earbuds, as well as they create a seal/pressure that truly ends upwards pain after a lilliputian fight of time!
Q: How far away tin yous hold upwards from your telephone for them to work? A: I don't know the exact measurement, but online forums tell 30ft within range. I personally role them all over the story (granted it's non that big) as well as accept never had whatever issue.
Q: Do yous role them for calls? Can yous take away heed yourself talk? A: Yes! All the time! I'm unsure if you're bespeak almost the feedback of yous talking or, inwards general, if yous tin take away heed the good of your voice. But no, at that topographic point is no feedback. If the dissonance cancel characteristic is on, yous cannot truly take away heed yourself. But you're able to plough it on transparency manner OR role only 1 bud to take away heed yourself/lower your vocalization accordingly.
Q: Do yous accept whatever issues amongst air current dissonance when outside? A: The Pros are meant to assist cutting downwards on air current for yous as well as the other mortal on the line. New York is the worst with exterior noises, whether it's the wind, cars, people, or music. Still, I accept yet to take away heed whatever complaints (and my mom always tells me when she hears dissonance lol). So I assume it's much amend but in all probability non totally fixed (is anything?).
Q: How practiced is the dissonance cancellation? Have yous used it on planes? A: IT'S SO GOOD. I think nosotros were coming dorsum from Florida, as well as at that topographic point was a crying babe adjacent to Andrew as well as I. I heard it, sure, but it honestly didn't bother me at all with the dissonance cancelation setting as well as music on. We ordinarily split headphones to spotter movies together, as well as I used to accept the hardest fourth dimension hearing amongst only 1 in, but amongst the AirPod Pros, nosotros haven't had whatever final result at all. It is seriously the best feature, as well as they did such a practiced chore amongst it.
Q: Is it slowly to maintain rails of them? Do yous lose them easily? A: I was ever worried almost this, but inwards almost 4 years, I accept never lost them! I similar to maintain them on my keychain (via case), which I accept flora is super helpful inwards non losing them.
Q: Can yous run inwards them? A: For me, yes. I've never had whatever final result amongst AirPods (regular or Pros) staying in. I will say the Pros definitely remain inwards amend compared to the others for me, BUT Andrew has been borrowing my headphones for the past times 2 weeks, as well as he says they sideslip out all the fourth dimension for him.
For me, I tin headbang similar fifteen times earlier they start to slip. So I think this is subjective depending on your ears! I've never had whatever final result working out, walking or traveling amongst the Pros but Andrew has then it's definitely a representative past times representative basis. I'll part a video showing yous all how they concur upwards subsequently today on IG stories!
Q: What representative do yous use? A: I use this representative from Amazon. I had the same trend for my AirPods, and I LOVED it. It was wonderful as well as cute as well as perfect. But the Pros are even then thence novel the cases are only meh for now. Even the 1 I have. It's non made super well, as well as the hand falls off all the time, but it industrial plant for me correct now, then I'll only maintain it equally is until I uncovering something better!
If yous desire to larn to a greater extent than almost the Pros, I cannot recommend this video past times Marques Brownlee enough. He ever has amazing reviews as well as is super knowledgeable inwards all things tech! He is my go-to for all tech. He explains it perfectly at the eight-minute mark: "They're non audiophile-grade headphones, they're non smashing dedicated workout headphones, they're non the perfect headphones for flying, BUT if I could exclusively pick ONE distich of earbuds to do all of this materials with, I would pick AirPods Pro. And a lot of people are going to construct that choice. They are imperfectly perfect."
P.S. They are currently $14 off on Amazon but demonstrate upwards equally out of stock. They send equally they acquire them in, as well as I ordered Andrew a distich piece they were on sale, as well as they showed upwards a calendar week as well as a one-half subsequently -- only equally an FYI!!
