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.

Brutally honest edits

1. They’ve been great in every way, but they fall out when I try to stuff an entire slice of pizza into my greedy mouth.

______

After owning them for about a month:

Yeah... I’d give five stars, but this is really more of a 4.5 star review because of volume control. This is as close to “doing it right” as wireless earbuds currently are. Four stars because having volume control on the buds themselves would be great.

But they’re really low-profile, which I need them to be in my main setting, so I don’t mind the trade.

______

Two weeks of ownership.

I’m noticing some hiccups when playing music, but I’m also in a warehouse setting that’s like a saturated signal trap inside a faraday cage. It’s likely my internet connection.

Second note, the ultimate test: they’re comfy enough that I’ve fallen asleep in them, when my upstairs neighbors have had their tv off. It’s on now, at a low to medium disturbance (low enough to sleep unless you get anxious easily like me, but even if you don’t, you wouldn’t sleep like a baby at my neighbors’ volume). Well, noise Cancellation is flawless!

_______

Day 1

I just got these today, and my rule was that they had to be better than JBL Tune 120s in every way (which shouldn't be hard to do). Addressing the problems of my JBL's, the AirPods gave me trouble finding a good seal at first. So I just tried playing music anyway. The quality was really good, and then I toggled to find out that Noise Cancellation wasn't on. When it turned on, wow. I had to test it a few times by snapping my fingers with it on/off, and then I wasn’t sure if I was actually hearing my snap or just the AirPods’ sound of it with Passthrough. I’m also hearing elements in music that I had previously not heard, even in songs I’ve loved and listened to deeply for more than a decade!

Not only are those great features, but each AirPod can function exactly the same, whether I have only the left in or the right. Two squeezes, three, hold, on either of them. They didn't split controls so that the right does some, and the left does others.

I've not tested voice control in my usual setting with these yet, but I doubt they'll be as garbage as the JBL Tunes. EDIT: voice control under a beanie in a loud warehouse setting is mostly flawless. And “mostly” means Siri didn’t hear me very well at the moment I had some metal (objects, not music) clanking near me, so I forgive her.

Highs and mids are nice, bass is lacking just a little bit (but not at all to a disappointing degree), and I suppose the seal is good. It doesn't feel like the seal is good, and I’ve settled on medium tips, but they feel sturdy in-place, and the sound quality suggests that I do have a good seal even if I don't feel what I'm used to with silicone tips.

This product may change in a few weeks or months, and I'll put the brutally honest edits at the top of this initial review, and the good edits will be added near their initial notes. But so far, these work, and I know Apple isn't as loose with the quality behind their name as JBL is.

I don’t think your lifestyle is as regularly loud and disruptive as my daily life, so I think it’s safe to say that if they work well for me in my rough setting, they’re friggin awesome when I’m off the clock, even and especially when I’m falling asleep!

If you’re on the fence about spending this much on ear buds like I was and are reading reviews for that reassurance about some feature and wonder if it’s worth it, believe me it is! I tried the good knockoffs with good sound, unintentionally I might add and there’s no comparison. If you want more freedom from reaching for your phone or tapping your earbuds to change a song or pause and want to be completely hands free then you’re going to be in heaven. For me these are exactly what I what I need for work and at home because I can control my music hands free, make calls and all the other great things Siri does for you completely hands free. I’m in love with these things! This is my first pair of AirPods so I can’t give you a comparison from the previous generation but, they sound amazing! Crystal clear, deep bass and I could not ask for more. They sound better than I thought they would to be be honest. I wore them for a few hours straight today working outside and I was surprised at how well they stayed in place and how comfortable they were. Also the distance! I had my phone on a table in the back yard and walked to the front to my car and they didn’t cut out a bit. There was brick house was between me and my iphone so it wasn’t line of sight. I’m not sure the exact distance but, it was further than apple claims. As for the transparency mode all I can say is wow! It’s so much better than I thought it would be. You really do have to hear it to believe how great it is. I can pause music and keep them in and watch tv, carry on a conversation or anything I would normally do. They are that clear. I can barely tell a difference when taking them out. As for being able to use them as hearing aids like people wonder; uh, no not quite there yet. You can use your live listen on your iPhone and probably cheat and use it that way. It’s pretty clear in that mode and doesn’t echo but, it’s no replacement for hearing by far. Kind of distant sounding but, it would better than nothing. I’m sure live listen will sound about the same as it does on previous AirPods. What I found shocking was even in high wind in transparency mode there was no distortion of sound at all. I was worried since it has an external mic that it might but, nope it sounded great and just like normal. Noise cancellation is pretty good too. It doesn’t cut out 100% of noise but, enough to make a huge huge difference. Probably be good if someone in your house blaire’s the tv where it’s tolerable. For being little earbuds and having both noise cancellation and transparency you can’t ask for more. On call the mic seems to be clear on the other end as well and on dictation. Much better than other brands I’ve had for sure. In short, if you’re an apple lover and want some great sounding, super comfortable Apple earbuds or just want to go hands free with your iPhone and music you’ll be glad you got these!

On a side note...

To Help people from getting scammed by other stores like I did; here’s one simple way to tell if you’re AirPods are real or not; each AirPods Pro earbud weighs 5.4grams. Most knockoffs weigh around 3.1 to 3.8g If you buy them from anywhere besides Amazon or an authentic trusted Apple retailer and wonder if they’re real or not, then throw them on the scale. That’s the one thing they haven’t mastered is the weight and Siri. Siri should work out of the box by voice and if you’re having problems, hear static in transparency mode or can’t find your AirPods in general> about settings then you might want to check them out on the scale because there’s some good clones out there right down to the packaging, print on the earbuds that look authentic with serial numbers and all but, none I know of have voice control with Siri or sound half as good as these. I apologize for the long review but, I’m hoping to help someone and save them hours of researching and looking like I did and from getting scammed. Have a wonderful day!

As I sat on my computer today, perusing options to buy another set of Apple’s AirPods Pro, it dawned on me: it’s about time I write a review for these bad boys, because I’ve used mine almost daily for the past year-and-a-half.

If you’re new to the world of Apple’s headphones and earbuds, you may not realize that Apple offers three options that will suit your needs much better than the standard, wired ear buds that come with some Apple products, like iPhones and iPods:

1: Airpods, which are the wireless companion to the standard earbuds the you’ll find accompanying some Apple devices. These Airpods are the size of the standard earbuds, if you were to cut the cords off at the very base of the earbud stems. They come in a small, square-shaped charging case with round corners, which serves as a convenient storage location for your AirPods, and accepts the standard Lightning USB cable to charge.

2: AirPods Pro, which have all of the features at the standard AirPods, plus a more comfortable fit, better sound quality, and two modes of sound augmentation, being a noise-canceling mode and a “Transparency mode”, which allows you to listen to your surroundings while you listen to your music, podcasts, or other media.

3: Lastly, Apple added the Airpods Max to their fleet this year. These are over-the-ear headphones that offer similar features to the AirPods Pro, minus the charging case. You’ll find that these headphones have better noise-cancelation and sound quality than the AirPods at the cost of a larger profile and price tag.

Please note: While the cases for the AirPods and AirPods Pro accept the lightning cable to charge, they can also be placed on a mag-safe charging pad to charge. With that said, I’ve only btested the AirPods Pro with the lightning cable, as I do not own a wireless charging pad.

So, Let’s Focus on the AirPods Pro

Keeping in mind that this post has no ties to any outside entity, so my opinions aren’t being skewed with the intent of pleasing an advertiser, I absolutely love my AirPods Pro, and I take them with me just about everywhere. I’m on my second pair, because they are easy to lose due to their compact case, but that small profile is also a big part of why I love these earbuds, so it’s a bit of a paradox. If you can see, this won’t be much of a problem for you, but if you’re visually-impaired, it’s another story. With that said, the AirPods Pro are capable of being used with Apple’s “Find My” app, but you have to be pretty close to the case for this feature to be beneficial if you have a visual impairment. Keep in mind that I’m also deaf in one ear, so your mileage may vary here, but I just don’t think the sound is strong enough to truly tout this as an outstanding feature; I’d say the “FindMy” capability is more of an afterthought that Apple added to increase the length of the “features” list for these earbuds. But I’ll save the rest of my opinions until the wrap-up at the bottom of this post. Let’s get into some facts.

What’s in the box?

First of all, the packaging for the AirPods Pro lives up to the standard we’ve come to know as Apple has grown into the Titan of a company that it is. It’s sleek, compact, and satisfying to open. Inside the box, you’ll find your AirPods Pro and accompanying charging case, three different sizes of the silicone tips that form the seal necessary for effective noise cancellation, one lightning to USB-C cable, and some documentation.

Features

With the price being around 80dollars more than the AirPods with charging case, it’s a no-brainer that the AirPods Pro are the better choice, whether you’re in need of noise cancellation or you just have an extra 80 bucks burning a hole in your pocket, and you’re about to see why.

Comfort and Convenience

Being someone who owns a pair of ears that don’t cooperate with standard Apple earbuds very well, the comfort and secure fit provided by the silicone tips of the AirPods Pro are almost at the top of my list when it comes to benefits of these earbuds. With only three size choices, you may feel that two different sizes provide the same level of comfort and sound quality, but the AirPods run a “fit test” during setup to determine which of the tips are the perfect fit for you. The only feature that tops the comfort of the AirPods Pro is their ability to seamlessly alternate between the noise cancellation and transparency modes.

On top of these two stand-out features, Voiceover users won’t notice any latency between executing gestures on-screen and their devices’ TTS output, which is a somewhat common occurrence with other Bluetooth headphones.

Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode

Living in the heart of the city, I constantly switch between the two modes while I travel with my cane, as I come to street crossings and need to hear traffic, or when I’m on long spans of uninterrupted sidewalk, where I can block-out the sounds of the city while I make my way to my next crossing. And, while the noise cancellation of the AirPods Pro is incredible for their size, I do want to note that they don’t provide as much soundproofing as an over-the-ear headphone, like the Bose Noise Cancelling 700 Headphones. And if you’re curious, you can find my review of those headphones here.

On the other hand, when in transparency mode, the AirPods utilize both their inward and outward-facing microphones to bypass the sound-masking that comes with having standard earbuds in your ears, leaving ones’ ability to hear their surroundings unimpeded. And when I say unimpeded, I mean it; when it comes to listening to my surroundings, the transparency mode provides a level of clarity I haven’t experienced with another pair of earbuds- and especially not with over-the-ear headphones.

Sweatproof

I also wear my AirPods Pro when I lift weights, and on my way both to and from my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym: Two times when there is a lot of sweat and a lot of movement, and so far, their sweat/splashproof design has withstood everything I’ve subjected them to. It’s not uncommon for me to wash them under a faucet, and again, they still work just fine. I haven’t submerged them into a vessel of water though, and Apple has outlined that this would surpass the limits of the AirPods resiliency.

Battery life and Charging case

While I haven’t been able to find any specific details as to the battery life of the charging case itself, one comparison article I found stated that the standard AirPods can be used for 4.5 hours before needing to be charged by their case, while the AirPos Pro will survive for 5.5 hours. Do keep in mind that these measurement are approximate, as the battery life may vary greatly, depending on distance from the connected device, volume level, mode, and many other factors.

Alright, but how do they sound?

My AirPods Pro deliver a surprising level of sound quality, whether I’m listening to audiobooks, podcasts, or music. They are undeniably the best pair of earbuds I’ve ever owned, and I’ve had a hard time transitioning back to standard Bluetooth earbuds at times when my Airpods Pro are charging. Spoken-word content sounds crisp and professional, with no fuzziness looming around the speaker’s voice, so I’m not often distracted by poor audio quality, unless I have an unstable wi-fi connection. And, the AirPods Pro even add an extra layer of depth to stories that have occasional music or sound effects entwined throughout their duration.

Finally, when listening to music, the AirPods Pro have a surprising amount of power; I haven’t had the feeling that I’m missing any part of a song because of their bass output when in noise cancellation mode. However, When in noisier settings with other music in the background, like at a public gym, I do find myself longing for my aforementioned, over-the-ear Bose headphones, because I can hear too much of the gym’s music over my own.

Wrapping Up

If you know you want to buy a pair of wireless earbuds, I can’t recommend the AirPods Pro enough. While I do believe they are a tad pricey, inflated prices come with the territory when it comes to Apple products, and I feel like I’ve gotten my moneys worth from these earbuds. With that said, if you’ve decided it’s time to track-down a pair for yourself, I suggest shopping around. While prices fluctuate everywhere, several articles I’ve skimmed mentioned that Amazon occasionally offers much-better AirPods and AirPods Pro deals than Apple.

Pros:

The AirPod Pro are a very good set of earbuds, in fact it’s one of the best I’ve used. As an iPhone user, I have no complaints on the ease I have with pairing these earbuds with my iPhone, as I was able to pair with them with my iPhone in less than a minute, with no effort on my part. Everything as far as personalizing the AirPod Pro’s ID name, or whether or not if I wanted the earbuds in transparent versus full noise-canceling mode, or even how I wanted to set up how I wanted each earbud to function (e.g. change song, pause, skip, etc.) was super easy.

Wireless recharging of the earbuds in their case on a Qi-certified device is a piece of cake. Simply put the earbuds into your carrying case, and set it on the charging device, and wait for the case color to change to a green light. Apple does include both three sizes of earplugs and a Lightening Cable to recharge your earbuds and case. The noise-canceling function is good, and does block-out a log of ambient noise. I haven’t tested how effective they are while traveling in an airplane (which is the true test of noise canceling earbuds), so I can’t rate them as to how effective they are. I’m sure there’s a ton of YouTube videos, but I can’t personally attest to how well they perform in that specific environment.

The earbuds seem to be very resistant to sweat, which is something I like. I like to listen to music while I work out, I haven’t had issues with AirPod Pro performance while working out for an hour. I’ve had issues with knock-off AirPods – simply a case of you get exactly what you pay for scenario.

Cons:

The biggest con of these earbuds is the fit in my ear whenever I exercise. No matter what size earbud-tip I use when I exercise (i.e. running / aerobics), the earbuds want to fall out of my ears. I ended up having to purchase a pair of knock-off Bose ProFit earbud attachments from eBay for a few Dollars (see the review photo of what I used), just so these Airpod Pros wouldn’t fall out of my ears while I’m exercising. The attachments I bought from eBay didn’t help too much in keeping the Airpods in my ears while working-out, but it was a slight improvement over the Apple-furnished earbud attachments. The security of the earbuds to stay in place while exercising seems to be a design-flaw overlooked by Apple, and I'm surprised their Engineering staff didn't notice this during product development.

The other con is the battery life leaves something to be desired. I’ve been on teleconference calls that lasted slightly over two hours (yes…trust me, I know it's a long teleconference), and gotten iPhone warning notifications of battery life of my AirPods. That was a little surprising since the AirPod Pros were less than 2 months old, at the time of usage and notification. This would be a warning I would expect for a device that was either somewhat old, or an inexpensive knockoff you’d purchase at a discount department store. Granted – I was using noise canceling the entire time of the call, and not the ambient mode to perhaps save some power; however, less than three hours of continuous usage and still getting low battery notifications left me a little disappointed.

Overall Rating:

I’d still recommend them, despite the few shortfalls of these AirPod Pros. If you feel noise-canceling isn’t worth the upgrade, the basic AirPods are still a VERY good substitute device to purchase and can save you some money. The wireless charging is nice, but to me seemed a little bit gimmicky and useless – more so if you don’t own any other Qi-charging capable devices or Qi-charging stations, or if you happen to purchased a silicone protective case for the AirPod Pros to prevent them from getting scratched or damaged. I managed to purchase these AirPod Pros during an Amazon Black-Friday Sale, so I was able to save some money. If I were to purchase them at full-price, I would have to seriously weigh whether or not it is worth it, if I intend to use them for both work and when I go to the gym. If using only for work, it might be worth it, if I were in a somewhat noisy room whenever I have telecom's (if you have a neighbor using a leaf blower, noise-canceling can only do so much). If I were only using it for when I exercise, I would have to seriously consider purchasing a set of earbud attachments, so to keep the earbuds from falling out of my ears when working-out.

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 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.

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!
