I got these for Christmas. I had the regular air pods and the difference is unbelievable. The features the pro 2 ones have is mind boggling. Highly recommended. The price is steep but I was told they were $250 but on sale for $200. I can honestly say they are well worth $250
Great content Aaron. I am still using AirPods Pro original version. I also have the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is lightning. So I don’t mind still having that lightning charge cable plus I always charge them wirelessly anyway. I think I’m going to wait until the next generation of AirPods Pro to come out before I purchase them.
VERY DISAPPOINTING they couldn't give lossless to music, while the Galaxy buds2 pro have had it since 2022. At least 16 bit CD quality, we understand the difficulty with hi-res lossless, but not regular lossless. Very disappointing....
I still don't understand why the Pro 2s didn't originally come with a USB-C port last year, but I'm just going to deal with using one Lightning cable until the Pro 3s come out in a few years. No sense in spending another $250 just for the port.
I finally got these after having the original pros since launch. I am loving these. The ANC is killer and the adaptive mode and conversation awareness is really useful. And now I’ve finally went all USB-C, as my old Pros were my only lightning device left. These are great. I’m glad I waited and didn’t get the lightning version.
This feels weird for those who bought the AirPods from last year. Personally I don't regret the purchase at all, since for over 8 months (Black Friday sale), the experience is really nice to this day. After the announcement however, it feels sad that people can't get the same features (5ghz should be available by modem update, just like how the MacBook Air from 2022 got bluetooth 5.3 in 2023).
Aaron does it worth to upgrade from AirPods Pro first gen to 2nd gen (usb C)? Base it’s so important for me , does AirPods Pro 2nd gen have better base than first gen ?
Odd question but I’m on Apple AirPods Gen 2 I believe… not the Pro’s I’m not very familiar with the AirPods line up but is it worth upgrading from these to something better?
No I’m not picking them up to sub my exact same buds but with lightning. The so called upgrades are getting pathetic I’m sorry to say. Also first time in years I’m not turning my 14 pro in for the 15 pro. I would feel like an idiot to do so this year. To be honest I think this season’s upgrade are ridiculous
If you got a iPhone 11 or 12 pro max then yes it's worth upgrading. 13 and 14 pro max... not really. However, it's your money... do as you wish. If you're a techy and want the latest and greatest.. go ahead give apple that $1200. But in all honesty, if your phone is good and doesn't give a problem, hold off until iphone 16 or 17. IOS updates are good for a while.. so if you're tight on cash you might wanna hold off for now.
@@gailenrique2804 yes, but that the point I am the techy guy and I can afford the yearly pro swap and normally I doing it. Besides I get a fine resale price for my last season model. I’m swapping because I like it and I can, not because it’s needed. It’s just THIS year it’s too freaking stupid, Appel has gone too ignorant imo
Maybe the lossless audio only works within a small distance from the streaming device, that is why it will only work with the Apple Vision Pro. That would be my guess.
If that was your guess, you would be right! Since they normally use Bluetooth technology to transmit data, and Bluetooth has so many restrictions, Apple can’t send lossless audio, but with the Vision pro, they can use a airdrop-like technology that mixes Bluetooth and wifi.
ah so this probably means that the rumored 2nd gen airpods max will not support lossless audio over bluetooth with iphone/ipad/mac right? that would be a real bummer i was really hoping that leak would become true@@That_Gingerbread
@@That_Gingerbread It may not even need wifi, although it is possible. If it uses wifi I don't know if it would have the distance restriction that I guessed. My thought process was: The error rate for the bluetooth transmission increases the farthest you are from the streaming device. By being close to the streaming device you get less error, thus more bandwidth is possible.
Nice Thanks Aaron! They should've also made a control center toggle to find your AirPods from your phone with the beeping noise too like the watch in iOS 17. I know you can charge the lightning AirPods pro 2 with the iPhone 15, but can you charge the lighting ones with the 13 or 14 iPhone's? I am wondering when they will change the keyboard and magic mouse to usb-c now, so you can carry around just one cable.
I got mine for $189 at amazon. I really not aware that the 2nd gen pro has a two version (coz i do have a 1st version still) so when i found it on amazon that its price is drop alil more so i decided to grab one not been thinking to get the USB C version (thought its the same thing as lightning port) but im glad its on USB C now coz im planning to update my fone this year the 15 pro max 😂
Hey Aaron, Just curious to know if the Airpods are prone to getting damaged if the force sensor is squeezed really hard on it? Any thoughts about this?
Should I trade in my 14 Pro which has screen scrolling and battery life and overheating problems to the 15 Pro Max? And is 256GB enough storage this year?
@@unknownplayer7667 Yeah, it is actually warmer more than the normal. Also, which color and storage would you get? And would you trade in to the 15 Pro Max over the regular 15 Pro for the new 5X Zoom?

going on 3 years with my EarPods pro 1, no reason to get the latest. maybe i the bass was much improved i would, but shall wait until my current ones croak tbh
@zollotech does your case wobble a little and have a rattling sound when closed? I just got them and I don’t know if the build quality is just bad or I got a defect.
I missed that one but I got the presidents day sale . The previous version, battery would deplete fast. Every time I put my left airpod in my ear it would blast static that became too jarring. Can’t wait to enjoy these new AirPods
My question is, now that we can connect with USB C to USB C (phone to AirPod case), can we upgrade the AirPod software that way?? It be so much easier and quicker.

@@LittleGibler Yeah, my current ones have static noise always while connecting them. So I think the upgrade to the AirPods Pro 2 USB-C 2023 is definitely worth it!

i am the only one who doesn't use cable to charge anything?

Is it possible to get just the case? Got my Pro’s earlier this year and they still work perfectly fine. Would be a waste to upgrade the whole set in my case.
I had Jabra Elite 7 Pro before, and I can say they were much more comfortable than the AirPods Pro 2, noice cancellation was also far better as well as the battery life. AirPods are just overpriced for what they offer.
Hi Aaron. Thanks for all the information you spread through your channel 🙏🏻 Do you know if AirPods will ever come that have the same shape as the 2nd generation? The new ones have fantastic functionality, but unfortunately I and many others find it difficult to use them.

Lost my OG AirPods Pro (lightning cable) and ended up picking up the type c AirPods Pro 2 for 50$. I’d call that an upgrade.
Aaron does it worth to upgrade from AirPods Pro first gen to 2nd gen (usb C)?
Base it’s so important for me , does AirPods Pro 2nd gen have better base than first gen ?
The sound quality is better on the 2nd generation noticeably so. I don’t think there’s necessarily more bass though.

Got these today, and the sound is fantastic.

MagSafe will charge the lightning airpods so I just use MagSafe to charge my 15 pro and my lightning AirPods 👍🏼
Thumbs up for your accent! :)
I just lost my AirPods 3 changing case. Do you advise me to get a new case or just get the new AirPods Pro type C …

Can u just get the charging case for the AirPods 2?
I’m think about but when i have all the air pods they have out just don’t know yet what do you think
I have doubt , if lightning cable can also support to charge this new usbc AirPods Pro 2 ??
Plz try it and share it !
I prefer the audio quality of the original AirPods Pro 2 because it has slightly more treble than the new USB-C version.
Different firmware? There shouldn’t be any difference in terms of audio quality or EQing
Actually the usbc sounds better now since they both on the same latest firmware. The base sound has more definition on the usbc version.
I’m amazed you got nearly 7 minutes of content out of an old product getting a new shaped charging port
I was hoping apple would do an update for the Apple air pod pro max, like they did with the AirPods Pro’s 2 but nothing. I spent $499 for those.
