AirPods Pro

I wish they have all the features of the AirPods 4, but still great quality. I enjoy the sound cancelling feature as well as the ability to use Siri w them. I need to be hands free at work while making calls and sending msgs. The sound is great and always clear. I like that I can turn volume up or down by swiping the arm. They connected to my phone immediately and I nvr lose connection. I cannot use the AirPods 4 because they hurt my ears and do not fit, so after a couple uses I gave them to my daughter. But the Pros fit very comfortably. They also charge quickly and the battery can easily last me three to four 10 hr shifts.

Received my AirPods Pro a couple of days ago and have been using them day and night since. I also have the new Bose 700's, which I've been using daily for a couple of months so I'll compare to them. I commute each day on a noisy city bus. Sometimes there are people talking and sometimes there's nothing but the loud noises of the bus. The Bose headphones are not sweat or weatherproof, and so are not useful outside unless the skies are clear. With winter coming, the Bose also prevent wearing a winter hat, so I decided to buy the Air Pods for use in commuting and then use the Bose once I get to my desk at work. I have never owned AirPods before. A friend at work has regular AirPods (not Pro), and the photo attached to my review shows the difference in size. These were easy to set up -- you just hold your unlocked iPhone a couple inches away from the AirPods in their charging case (with the case open). It's all seamless. They automatically showed up in my Macbook bluetooth menu once connected with the iPhone, so all I had to do was click "connect" in the bluetooth menu. Interestingly, the play/pause squeeze of the stem doesn't seem to work for controlling the laptop -- maybe it only works for Apple Music, which I don't use so I didn't test. And the other thing different -- and worse -- than the Bose is that if I pause on the laptop and then play again on the phone, the AirPods are not automatically connected and the music came out of the phone directly. The Bose connects to two devices at once so it will play whichever one is playing sounds (which can be annoying if the phone is playing and the computer gives a notification sound or vice versa). But in order to play again on the phone, I had to go into the phone Bluetooth menu and reconnect (not re-pair, just reconnect). So my conclusion is you have to manually reconnect for device switching. You get a little alert sound when connected -- no voice, no battery status, no "connected to xxx" like the Bose does -- nothing else. For music quality, the Bose quality is a fair amount better -- which would be expected since they are full size over the ear headphones. The AirPods Pro are still very good though, and unless you are an audiophile, you won't be disappointed. Charging the AirPods case uses a standard iPhone/iPad lightning charger. It comes with a cable that will connect to a later model Macbook USB C port -- so USB C to lightning. If you want to use an outlet, you will need to have an existing lightning charger, which most of us have plenty of anyway. It's hard to tell when the case is completely charged. The orange light comes on but goes off after just a few seconds, instead of just staying on and changing to green once they're fully charged. The first night I got them, I charged them in the case overnight before using them. When I connected them, they said the AirPods were only 58% charged, so I'm not sure why they weren't 100% if left in there overnight. There is a nice new longpress feature on the volume of the iPhone that appears when the AirPods are connected to the iPhone. You can control the volume (you can't control the volume right on the AirPods, which is a slight bummer but it's okay) and noise cancelling from this new interface. There's no tapping on these AirPods -- you slightly squeeze the little stem. There is a soft click when it registers, almost like pressing a touch pad. It took a few seconds to figure out how to do it, but it's been fine since. A longer squeeze toggles between the noise cancellation modes. There's a slightly different sound for going into transparency mode and going into noise cancellation mode, but in a quiet room it's hard to tell which mode you're in, as opposed to the Bose, which literally tells you in a voice. Transparency mode uses microphones to let in the sound around you, so that you can keep them in while still talking to people. This is how they differ from noise isolating earbuds, which block your ear from hearing anything but don't have active noise canceling. These have noise canceling I'll talk about in a minute. But there is also an "off" mode available only (that I've found) through the volume long press described above. These just put them in basic noise isolation mode -- I'm guessing similar to previous AirPods. For noise cancellation, they are surprisingly very effective. More effective than I thought they would be. They are best at blocking out white noise -- bus engines, office sounds, fans, etc. They are good at voices if it's just people talking in a group at a normal volume. But when I walked through the busy office cafeteria at lunch time, they did not do as good of a job as the Bose at blocking out the loud talking and other uneven cafeteria noises. Interestingly, they do a great job at blocking one-off noises like a door slamming or someone dropping something. The Bose have a hard time with sounds like that for some reason. I would say they are 80-90% as effective as the full size over ear Bose overall, which is very impressive. For comfort, obviously the Bose are better (and sound better) for hours of desk usage, and also given that the battery on the Bose is about 19 hours and these are about 4, the Bose will be what I use all day at my desk. But for moving around, walking the dogs, commuting, and portability, the AirPods are terrific and don't hurt at all or cause my ears to sweat like the Bose do after a while. Would definitely recommend.

I have had the original and second generation AirPods and loved them, I bought a pair each for my husband and me as the batteries on the ones we had were not the best after almost two years. There is some getting used to with these as the controls are different, extra steps with the noise cancellation, and of course the different ear tips. The iPhone will guide you through picking the correct tip, though after a few weeks I’m going to see if I can play with a different size. The regular AirPods fit like a charm and are perfectly comfortable. The Pros leave a little discomfort, but I’m guessing, for now anyway, it’s because of the different shape that I’m not used to and I’m playing with them. The sound is very good. It’s a wireless set, so you’re not ever getting studio sound, but I loved the sound from the AirPods and the Pro takes it up a level. Depending on the environment you’re in (noise level, how aware you need to be to outside sounds like traffic) the noise cancellation can be on and block a majority of sound out, off which blocks a surprising amount out or transparency which allows you to hear what’s going on around you very well. Having said that because the sound is coming into your ears from the microphones it still is strange to speak with them in. I bought these a few days before the announcement of Dolby Atmos and Spatial Audio coming to Apple Music. When I first used the Pros I tried some of the sample audio on the phone and it was pretty cool, but the new content from Apple Music wasn’t out yet. It is now, and wow! I expected some extreme change in how the music sounded. Something like the Maxell commercials sitting in a chair and the music pushing me backward. Because my expectation was so grand, I didn’t really notice at first. It was subtle, but only because I was listening for something else. Not all tracks are engineered the same, some are okay others will give you goosebumps, as if you’re hearing it for the first time. It’s not sound that is gimmicky, turning your head and the music direction changed. The music is all around you. You can feel it. The track that got me was “Here Comes the Sun, 2019 Remix” by The Beatles. Don’t let remix fool you, it's more a remaster. I have been a fan of The Beatles for a long time. Hearing this song with these headphones made me feel as if I was in the studio with John, Paul, George, and Ringo. But this is not about Apple Music but the AirPods Pro. I am in a noisy environment for work one day per week and have conference calls I need to attend. I can use the AirPods in noise cancellation mode and not only can I hear, but my colleagues can hear me with little to no background noise. Despite the smaller size the battery life to me seems even better than the originals, and with the case as a charger I can get them charged up quickly, but in my use I haven’t run out of juice yet. To be fair I do take breaks from music somewhat frequently so they are charging a little throughout the day. The case is a different design and the pods go into the case differently, but the size of the case feels the same as the original despite a different layout. I can slip the case in my pocket with no issues. With iOS 14, watchOS 7, and macOS Big Sur the switching between my phone, watch, and two laptops is seamless, and the only thing easier is the setup. Are there better wireless headphones out there? Maybe, I didn’t really look. I knew these would work with all of my devices. The AirPods were a big leap in sound and function from the EarPods that came with iPhones. The AirPods Pro are a big leap from the original. Now with Dolby Atmos/ Spatial Audio on Music, these give you a multifunctional headphone that produces quality sound and an entirely new way of experiencing music that has the potential to redefine how we experience music. These were a great purchase and for me, worth the additional cost.

These are working well with good quality sound as expected. This set was purchased to replace some that fell out of my husband’s ears while he was shoveling 6” or so of snow in the driveway. He looked all over but could not spot them against the white snow. About three weeks later, after another snowfall, rain, and extremely cold temperatures, and finally melting, our young granddaughter brought the missing bud in and asked if that was the one we lost. My husband tried it out and it is working well. My husband loves music and he loves these ear buds. He finds that they fit him well, which many do not, and are very simple to use. So, our AirPods Pro have proved far more heavy duty than expected. We would definitely purchase again.

I always love shopping from Amazon because Amazon customer services are great. And i bought these airpods pro and like it noise cancellation is great and transparent option is also very good like Samsung ambient sound.

Minha percepção inicial foi de que o fone é maravilhoso por toda a conectividade, qualidade do som e cancelamento de ruído. Além disso, qdo chegou eu ainda não tinha recebido a nota fiscal, mas a Networking store mandou assim que solicitei. Elogio a loja por isso. Entretanto, já nos dois primeiros dias de uso percebi que pro fato da base que vai na orelha ser mais larga (não tem a ver com a borrachinha), isso causa desconforto e dor. Estou decepcionada e cogitando trocar. É inviável ficar com um fone que em meia hora de uso já incomoda. Deixo a sugestão para quem for comprar de comparar bem o tamanho do AirPods 2 para o Pro ou 3 e tentem testar antes.

First, i want to point out that i really dislike Apple and that this is basically my first Apple product. That means, I'm using them with an android phone (v30+). That makes you lose some functionality, but you can bring most of it back by using apps such as MaterialPods and programming some functions with a friend's iPhone. I have one issue with android: my volume doesn't go very high, even at max level. I think that's it The sound quality is very good, with surprising sub bass, balanced mid-bass and good (if not a little too much) high-bass. The mids are in front of the mix, and the highs are nicely separated. Good stereo imaging, and a decent soundstage for in-ears. Surpassed my expectations, having tried airpods 1 and 2 and hating their open-back lack of sub to mid bass sound with painful treble. That alone could give them at least 4 stars. The active noise cancelling is one of the best you can get with in-ears right now. The Sony WF-1000XM3s have slightly better ANC, but not by much and are way bigger (as well as their case). I was impressed by the quality and smoothness of it for such a small form factor. That said, they don't replace QC35s, WH-1000XM4s or NC 700s, but this shouldn't be expected from in-ears. Their transparency mode is also very good, having a good stereo image, directional sound and a realistic volume level (compared to not wearing the airpods at all) Haven't used them for very long periods yet, but the battery life seems fair, with a 4+ hours earbud charge as well as a spare 4 charges in your case. Wireless charging is a bonus, since you can just drop it on any pad and it charges up pretty fast. Convenient features: goes into transparency mode when you only wear one airpod, connects as soon as the case is opened, multiple commands by touch controls with satisfying feedback (a realistic fake click) available on both stems, and IPX4 water resistance (working out with them or dropping a glass of water on them shouldn't be a worry. The integrated microphones are of very good quality and cancel outside noise well. They also come with 3 different size of neatly-packed ear tips. Be careful: they have a very specific shape and cannot be replaced by any old tips. Bottom line: Very good true wireless ANC in-ear headphones, with good sound, great noise cancelling, and a bunch of convenient features. There is one downside: the price. However, it is easily justifiable if you commute a lot and don't like over-the-ear headphones for some reason, or just want good, long-lasting everyday buds. I was skeptical at first, but am now happy with the purchase of a pair of Airpods pro, and I'd take them over the competing WF-1000XM3 and day of the week. I'll have to see about the Galaxy buds Pro, though.

La verdad los audífonos están bastante bien, son cómodos, las almohadillas sellan correctamente la oreja, la cancelación de ruido es buena, el modo de transparencia puede llegar a amplificar algunos sonidos (sonidos muy estridentes pueden llegar a lastimar los oídos), pero por lo demás, funciona adecuadamente. Obviamente al tener constantemente que cancelar las ondas de sonido del mundo exterior, o amplificándolas, la batería puede llegar a durar un poco menos que si cualquiera de las dos opciones estuviesen desactivadas, aunque la carga con el estuche puede darte al menos otras dos cargas al 100%. Totalmente recomendado, casi que necesario, la carga mediante USBC a Lightning, si no tienes un adaptador USBC de Apple, recomendaría conseguir uno, ya que la carga por 5W puede tomar casi toda la noche, al igual que la carga por inducción estándar. El añadido de la cancelación de ruido es bastante útil si quieres disfrutar la música, pero si vas a usar los audífonos para salir a trotar o caminar por la calle, quizá desactivar este modo o activar el modo de transparencia sea lo mejor, ya que en muchas ocasiones, puede llegar a cancelar el claxon de los autos, los motores de las motos, o los timbres de las bicicletas, lo que en ciudades de paises como México, puede ser bastante peligroso. Por lo demás cumplen su función, y bastante bien, y a pesar de que se tiene poco contenido en Dolby Atmos para Apple Music, siempre pueden convertir música estéreo a Dolby Atmos dentro de las funciones de sonido del iPhone a la hora de conectar los AirPods, aunque no lo recomiendo para uso diario, ya que reduce una parte del volumen de la música y puede llegar a perder algo de calidad en algunos instrumentos. Ah, y conseguirle fundas bonitas y poco estorbosas puede ser una tarea un tanto complicada, pequeño dato que puede interesarle a algunos y algunas.

Ótima qualidade de som, bem equilibrado, não é aquele fone com mega bass boost, super bem feito. O isolamento de ruído é incrível, ainda mais pra mim que moro em um local super barulhento hoje consigo trabalhar em paz. Conexão dele com dispositivos Apple não preciso nem comentar, é incrível como funciona dentro do ecossistema, conexão e primeira configuração super rápidas com o iPhone, e a partir daí, funciona em todos outros dispositívos de maneira muito natural. Um ponto negativo que achei foi a bateria dele, chego a ter cerca de 4 horas com o fone, mas a case dele consegue carrega-lo durante muito mais tempo, e a recarga dos earbuds dentro da case é muito rápida também. Super recomendo a compra, o preço é um pouco salgado, mas é um super fone!
