For anyone watching this video with Pro 2s, I would STRONGLY recommend using default stereo for 99% of listening, and leave spatial audio (either version) off except if the audio you are listening to is designed for it (or for experimenting with the emulated spatial features for fun). Spatial audio can result in an ”immersive” experience, but an experience that is not exactly accurate or as the artist intended. Stereo may sound like your soundstage was shrunk at first, but typically is the best way to get the peak quality of your AirPods for music and most movies and podcasts.
I agree I honestly prefer stereo over 3D audio 90% of the time unless I’m gaming or watching a movie, standard RUclips vids and most of the music I listen to (classic rock) just sound better in the stereo they were made for
This is terrible advice. There is no such thing as “as the artist intended”, because they probably recorded and mixed everything over large monitors in a studio, by your logic we shouldn’t be using AirPods because that’s not how the artist heard their music being made. Just do what sounds best for you guys.
Good idea about usb advice. It’s annoying having various types of cables while using only Apple products. I feel like Apple experienced for me is disappearing when I can’t find appropriate cable with me

What about the common problem of case battery drainage ? I’ve heard that many many many people had the problem where there case drains extremely fast even without the AirPods in them. Another thing is the balance of the AirPods, many people were also having the problem of one AirPod being louder than the other. Did you have these problems ????
U can change balance in settings, and who are these “some people”? Everybodies case is different and for me, the battery works perfectly normally. I guess just ask them how long they’ve had it
if you want the best longevity out of ur battery I would not use wireless charging. its super inefficient, and like 1/3rd of the transmitted power gets wasted as heat in the coil which means its just going to stress the charging circuit out. maybe not that big of a deal for the pods themselves but the case. the reason it has to be slow charging is because of the rules of entropy, the faster you try to pour water from one cup to another, the less water you get in that cup. and when youre doing it with an inefficient process to begin with you get exponential diminishing returns and harmful heating. if you want to preserve the case battery you should slow charge it from another power bank. u can get 2000mah slim metal pocketable powerbanks now for 3$, no excuse

@@Messup7654yes anc can't block out this but the airpods pro 2 in my opinion blocks out noise way better than Sony xm5. This might be because they fit my ears perfectly compared to Sony xm5 that didn't fit my ears perfectly.
Are the charging contacts still like on the AirPods Pro 1? For mine these have been the major issue, they just do not reliably get contact after a while.
I have a question for you: I got the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, those have ANC too, but, when I walk at the beach everyday with the ANC active, I hear a lot of wind noise, that's why I stoped using my Buds 2 Pro, and I'm currently using my old trusty Buds Plus with passive noise cancelation because wind noises are not a problem. So, with these AirPods Pro 2, do you have experience this wind noise problem anytime? I'm asking 'cause I'm buying an iPhone next month and I need to know if AirPods Pro 2 are a good buying too
Personally, I never really had problems with wind noise. I use my pods alot of times around beaches, rides on open vehicles, and loud noises, never heard them overpower anything especially with ANC.
my transparency mode glitches between noise cancellation off and on constantly , i think it’s a softwares problem bc now my OLD airpods do the same shit and they never did that
Uh no it’s a feature called conversational awareness. When ur in noise cancellation and not talking it says silent. And when u start talking it automatically turns on transparency
Consider alternative options like Bose or Sony for better longevity. My experience with the AirPods Pro was disappointing. Within the first six months, I encountered persistent crackling noises. Although Apple provided a refurbished replacement, it came with recurring issues, including mismatched AirPods notifications and location-sharing alerts with the original owner. Despite multiple visits and resets by Apple, the problems persisted. Eventually, when the crackling returned, Apple's limited three-month warranty for replacements left me without support. The quality of the AirPods Pro seems subpar, and it's disheartening to see no proactive measures from Apple to address these known issues.
When people praise and give 10 points for having volume controls, is that compared to previous airpods? This had been around on almost any earbuds for ages now.
I’ve had mine for 6mo. Yes, I love the sound and functionality of them. But in the past two months, the charging case charge just seems to tank. I charge to 100%. And if I don’t use the AirPods at all, the battery in the case still drops about 20% daily. The battery in the AirPods themselves is fine. But the case looses charge for no reason. Two trips to the Apple Store, and they sent it out for service. Who found nothing wrong, and sent them back. Apple is useless in honoring their 1yr warranty. They didn’t even offer me a new charging case. So buyer beware.
@@weinser7278 i figured it out on my own. The issue started 3mo ago. Shortly after I purchased a wireless charger by ESR on Amazon. If I charge the AirPods via lightning cable, the case holds a charge just fine. So if you’re using a non Apple certified wireless charger like I was, charge it with the cable instead. Now the case charge with moderate use of the AirPods lasts me about 5 days between the need to recharge.
It might be related to an option (Iforgot the name) that let’s you track your airpods all the time, if you turn it off then that might save you some battery
My microphones stopped working now and the noise cancelling is barley there. Like my relationship with my high school sweetheart. It was good while it lasted.
Are y’all using a different product than me? I can’t even tell whether mine are in transparency mode or noise cancellation, they’re both barely noticeable at all. I have to look at my sound setting to tell.
MAN, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I GOT FROM THE GYM AFTER MY WORKOUT, I ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED IT FROM 1 FLOOR ON STAIRCASE AND YEAH JUST MINOR SCRATCHES AND NOTHING ELSE THEY AS GOOD AS NEW CONSIDERING THE AUDIO QUALITY.
5:17. With Jabra 65t and the Jabra Elite 7 Active it was the same exact way for me, I had to definitely get used to the noise cancelling feature, Which took quite awhile when I had the 65ts but with the Elite 7 Active’s not too long. It’s definitely worth getting used to because it’s a great feature. Jabra is an amazing brand, high quality and great for listening to stuff, the mic quality in the earbuds just ain’t there for talking on the phone tho, So even tho I have a brand near pair of Elite 7 Actives, I also just ordered my first ever AirPods, the AirPod Pro 2s today. I was gonna go with the 3rd Gen but after seeing reviews and watching reviews and after seeing another video’s mic tests (Max Tech’s channel, judging the 2s’ mics), yeah, had to go with the Pro 2s.
my 1st gen Airpods died on me recently and i replaced with it with SoundCore LIberty 4 NC. I really prefer the fit of the Soundcore for my ears, but am going to wait to buy the the Airpod PRo Gen 2 whenever they go on a deep sale again. I just like all of the Apple-specific features with my iphone.
I bought the iphone 15 and a few days later got an airpods 3. I had no problems with the airpods 3 but having to use lightning cable was a hassle. I Really thought it wouldn't bother me but it did. So I bought airpods pro 2 and so far so good.
On active noise cancellation or spacial audio I am now getting an annoying feedback squeal. 😖 it wasn’t always like that. Just recently. Very disappointed
im considering them and the Sony 1000xm4. has anyone used both and can tell me which one i should choose when i mainly go to the gym and runing? i love listening to music most of the day so battery wins in Sony but what about sound and comfort? thank you!
I have both wf1000xm4 and AirPod pro 2. The pass through on the AirPods is better, overall sound quality I like my Sonys. I like the case and earbud charging on the Sonys more because it’s easier to keep the charging pin locations clean.
@@natebarts3226 if I’m being honest. AirPods have really good anc. Less cabin pressure feel. I’m mainly a Samsung user, but I have Apple and Samsung phones and other devices. If you have an iPhone definitely go with the AirPods. If you have any other phone get the Sonys.
wireless chargins is more strain on the battery dude. There is a reason why devices get hotter while wirelessly charging. A good solid wire connection is the best you can give to any electric device.
that is normal with noise cancelling headphones. basically how it works is that the earbuds use the microphone to measure outside noise, and then it plays the opposite of that noise to cancel out the noise. this sometimes results in a slight white noise effect, but it’s barely audible especially when other media is added
i think the battery life sucks on them.. i get about 4 hours into a work shift and they are already down to 30% my between 3 ANCs i can go every bit of an 8 hour shift before they are even down to 60% if it weren't for all the quality of life features on the airpods while at work i would prefer my between 3s
Until the mic quality is not getting better public (especially on public transportation) I wont even consider to buy it.. my airpods pro 1st gen mic is so bad outside
To me the AirPod Pro 2 stems aren’t any good for volume control. This is yet another case of fixing issues that weren’t there. I will never use them, as using my smartphone simply is faster to me. Other than that, I have to agree. I got the AirPods Pro 2 together with my iPhone 16 Pro Max and that ALMOST makes the Lighting Connector a thing of the past. I still have an iPad Pro 2nd Gen, and a Magic Keyboard with lightning connector, but at least on the iPhone side of things I’m no longer forced to have multiple cables with me, just in case.
I have 80 bucks cable in ears. And they sound way better then the Airpods Pro 2... And the PASSIVE Noise Canceling is awesome... With EQ they sound like 500+ IEMs..
Can the volume be turned down fully ? When those stupid ad breaks start during radio shows I want to turn the volume down fully!! Can I just press the volume button on the side of my iPhone and completely not hear anything ? It’s just that this doesn’t seem to be possible on other ear pods. Please help
its my first time saving up money to buy something expensive like airpods... (since im still a teen) so im buying it next week.. switching from crappy jbl earphones ;) im pretty excited as i tried my friend's pods2 and i really liked it, it would go well with my 14 pro!!
I was walking to the supermarket in my town centre and some guy wanted to quickly sell his AirPods Pro 2 cos he was hungry and I told him I had only £10 on me and he was tryna sell it for 50, he gave them for only 10 tho and I never felt better😁
I run my work and personal things on an Apple ecosystem, and I honestly gotta tell you I am getting sick of Apple’s constrains. My AirPods Pro 1st Gen have a nasty buzz on the right airpod and nothing seems to fix it. I was going to get the 2nd gen pros, but instead I got 2 pair of Sony’s, the WH-1000XM4 and the WF-1000XM4 and they work way better than the . At this point I think the only products worth the money are the Macs and iPhones. Everything else is just average or plain bad products with GREAT marketing.
I had the Airpods Pro 1 for 3 years, super satisfied with everything and the noice cancelling in particular. Also at some point got a nasty buzz in the right one each time I put it in my ear and dissapears after 3 seconds. Then few months ago they started to get a distortion once encountered a hard sound or wind. Only thing that would work is take them out, back in the box, then back in the ears. Super annoying. So I bought some Pro 2 this week. I am seriously considering to see if I can return them. This product ANC is so bad. So much worse than the Pro 1. It is shocking. I suddenly hear my colleagues key strokes whereas before those would 100% be muffled. Can't believe how dissapointed and the quest for some real good ANC earbuds starts again......
@@razorsharp9850definitely something wrong with your Pro 2. The ANC on mine is amazing and significantly better than Pro 1. By Apple has had quality issues with AP1. The left mic on mine stopped working properly after 1.5 years. The right one is still working but my voice sounds a bit muffled over the call (I checked it by recording myself). Been using my wife’s Pro 2 since a we days and it’s a significant upgrade over AP1. Hopefully no QC issues on this.
I thought there are big issues and regrets with this. Turns out everything is perfect except for the port. Really? People can’t live with different ports these days?
Lol and I’m sitting here still with the AirPods from 2017😭 The left only lasts 30 mins and the right only 1 hr if I’m lucky. I requesting the AirPod pro 2nd gen for my bday this year.
I regretted getting these within the first 30 minutes. Not because of the tech but because of the fitment. I love the tech it’s great but because they are hard plastic shells they don’t quite fit my ears and I am constantly muting calls etc trying to adjust them so they don’t fall out. Tried all the ear pieces too
I LITERALLY just bought a pair yesterday. Immediately noticed how the battery life is ass. On a full charge im not even getting 4 hours straight. It’s bad.
Hi i have a question. Is it normal that on AirPods Pro 2 with transparency mode on and Music Playing (50% volume) I can hear someone talking but i cant understand exact words because of Music? Is it normal or my AirPods are wrong?
I had my airpod pro 1st gens for a year and the noise cancellation has decreased on them overtime and i hear crackling from the earbuds. I wanna upgrade to the pro 2s but is it worth paying almost 200 dollars for?
If you have the iPhone 15 but have the lightning AirPods, you can always use a Magsafe charger, Apple Watch charger, or really any wireless charger if you don’t wanna carry a lightning cable
i HEAVILY disagree with the “turn on fixed spatial audio in control center” statement. if you want to hear what the artist intended, stick to normal stereo. all the fixed spatialized stereo does is put the audio into a fake virtual room with a short reverb added to it.
I have strange shaped ears... (not quite cauliflower ears but halfway there from rugby) So they are quite stiff if that makes sense, the airpods actually popped out on the first day but I havnt had that issue since so I was probably wearing them wrong, but the spatial audio drastically changes one ear from the other... most likely a "medical related issue" but yeah its a bit strange! Can't fault apple for them though, i just did it multiple times until it was all good!
Great review, for me they have only one mistake that does not apply to headphones Apple advertises 6 months of Apple Music for free, but you will not get that if you have ever used the offer of free apple music for 3 months for your phone! Quite a misleading ad. everyone who bought the phone before the headphones probably took advantage of the offer... And now they will NOT get their 6 months free
Slips out of hands very often. Connects to iPhone when in case, music feels very flat, nice spatial audio, comes out of ears very often, fits in pocket very nicely, sound quality is less impressive compared to my much cheaper Sony linkbuds s.
I think they sound good but in my case they often fall out so I still use my AirPods 2 if I’m out or moving my head a lot where I might lose the pro ones.
I just bought some, tried them in the car then retuned them immediately. Guess maybe I should have have tinkered with them, but was super disappointed for the price. Wireless earbuds vs. old wired earbuds for the price it seems like you’re paying 95% percent for the new tech and wireless tech then 5% for the headphones. These sound like $20 wired earbuds
@@nosenosezbest1156yes he didn’t even give them a day to test it out😂 try it out for a few days using the anc transparency mode and spatialized audio and head tracking try every single ear tip and see which first best
@@Messup7654 For some people with sensitive ears, it only takes a moment to judge the quality, especially since with hearing you should judge the first moments. Hearing has the disadvantage (and advantage, depending on the circumstances) that it quickly gets used to even poor sound quality.
I just got my iPhone 15 pro max and I bought the new AirPods Pro’s 2 with usb c port. Not being able to afford to afford them previously worked in my favor. I use a MagSafe charger to charge my AirPods. Very convenient so I can use my cable for my phone.

Are the charging contacts still like on the AirPods Pro 1?
For mine these have been the major issue, they just do not reliably get contact after a while.
How often do you clean the contacts (q-tip + 90%+ rubbing alcohol)?
I have a question for you: I got the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, those have ANC too, but, when I walk at the beach everyday with the ANC active, I hear a lot of wind noise, that's why I stoped using my Buds 2 Pro, and I'm currently using my old trusty Buds Plus with passive noise cancelation because wind noises are not a problem. So, with these AirPods Pro 2, do you have experience this wind noise problem anytime? I'm asking 'cause I'm buying an iPhone next month and I need to know if AirPods Pro 2 are a good buying too
Personally, I never really had problems with wind noise. I use my pods alot of times around beaches, rides on open vehicles, and loud noises, never heard them overpower anything especially with ANC.
@@sev_004 thks for you answer
I have airpod pros 2 as well NEVER ever experienced problem with wind
@@sergeynazaro1768 thk you too
When walking, wind noise isn't an issue, unless it's very windy.
You do seem to hear a bit of the wind noise when cycling tho.
my transparency mode glitches between noise cancellation off and on constantly , i think it’s a softwares problem bc now my OLD airpods do the same shit and they never did that
Uh no it’s a feature called conversational awareness. When ur in noise cancellation and not talking it says silent. And when u start talking it automatically turns on transparency
@@Schloopytoober that’s conversation awareness , i know what im talking about , their still messed up😂 it’s a software issue bud but thanks
@@iam1k_ o ye then idk man if u still got warranty on them then deffo gettem checked out

Consider alternative options like Bose or Sony for better longevity.
My experience with the AirPods Pro was disappointing. Within the first six months, I encountered persistent crackling noises. Although Apple provided a refurbished replacement, it came with recurring issues, including mismatched AirPods notifications and location-sharing alerts with the original owner. Despite multiple visits and resets by Apple, the problems persisted. Eventually, when the crackling returned, Apple's limited three-month warranty for replacements left me without support. The quality of the AirPods Pro seems subpar, and it's disheartening to see no proactive measures from Apple to address these known issues.
When people praise and give 10 points for having volume controls, is that compared to previous airpods? This had been around on almost any earbuds for ages now.
I’ve had mine for 6mo. Yes, I love the sound and functionality of them. But in the past two months, the charging case charge just seems to tank. I charge to 100%. And if I don’t use the AirPods at all, the battery in the case still drops about 20% daily. The battery in the AirPods themselves is fine. But the case looses charge for no reason. Two trips to the Apple Store, and they sent it out for service. Who found nothing wrong, and sent them back. Apple is useless in honoring their 1yr warranty. They didn’t even offer me a new charging case. So buyer beware.
Same problem here can you report the issue to Apple please
@@weinser7278 i figured it out on my own. The issue started 3mo ago. Shortly after I purchased a wireless charger by ESR on Amazon. If I charge the AirPods via lightning cable, the case holds a charge just fine. So if you’re using a non Apple certified wireless charger like I was, charge it with the cable instead. Now the case charge with moderate use of the AirPods lasts me about 5 days between the need to recharge.
It might be related to an option (Iforgot the name) that let’s you track your airpods all the time, if you turn it off then that might save you some battery
I have a problem with my airpods not the case. I don’t have apple store in my country😢. Next week Im gonna buy airpods 2 as my back up earphones😊.
My microphones stopped working now and the noise cancelling is barley there. Like my relationship with my high school sweetheart. It was good while it lasted.
Are y’all using a different product than me? I can’t even tell whether mine are in transparency mode or noise cancellation, they’re both barely noticeable at all. I have to look at my sound setting to tell.
Are you sure you have the original ones?
Just dropped these down 2 levels down a car park after getting them yesterday. They still hold up extremely well
MAN, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I GOT FROM THE GYM AFTER MY WORKOUT, I ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED IT FROM 1 FLOOR ON STAIRCASE AND YEAH JUST MINOR SCRATCHES AND NOTHING ELSE THEY AS GOOD AS NEW CONSIDERING THE AUDIO QUALITY.
5:17.
With Jabra 65t and the Jabra Elite 7 Active it was the same exact way for me, I had to definitely get used to the noise cancelling feature,
Which took quite awhile when I had the 65ts but with the Elite 7 Active’s not too long.
It’s definitely worth getting used to because it’s a great feature.
Jabra is an amazing brand, high quality and great for listening to stuff, the mic quality in the earbuds just ain’t there for talking on the phone tho,
So even tho I have a brand near pair of Elite 7 Actives,
I also just ordered my first ever AirPods, the AirPod Pro 2s today.
I was gonna go with the 3rd Gen but after seeing reviews and watching reviews and after seeing another video’s mic tests (Max Tech’s channel, judging the 2s’ mics), yeah, had to go with the Pro 2s.
You’re dancing at the 6 1/2 minute mark was amazing !!!! 😂
is the issue about getting some itchy sensation when using the silicone tips already sorted out?
my 1st gen Airpods died on me recently and i replaced with it with SoundCore LIberty 4 NC. I really prefer the fit of the Soundcore for my ears, but am going to wait to buy the the Airpod PRo Gen 2 whenever they go on a deep sale again. I just like all of the Apple-specific features with my iphone.
I bought the iphone 15 and a few days later got an airpods 3. I had no problems with the airpods 3 but having to use lightning cable was a hassle. I Really thought it wouldn't bother me but it did. So I bought airpods pro 2 and so far so good.
On active noise cancellation or spacial audio I am now getting an annoying feedback squeal. 😖 it wasn’t always like that. Just recently. Very disappointed
Arthur what is the smart ring you are using atm ?
im considering them and the Sony 1000xm4. has anyone used both and can tell me which one i should choose when i mainly go to the gym and runing? i love listening to music most of the day so battery wins in Sony but what about sound and comfort? thank you!
This should help ❤
Same question. I have sony xm4s. I also want to know if they are almost the same in terms of sound quality and anc feature.
I have both wf1000xm4 and AirPod pro 2. The pass through on the AirPods is better, overall sound quality I like my Sonys. I like the case and earbud charging on the Sonys more because it’s easier to keep the charging pin locations clean.
@@zZKableZz how about the anc feature?
@@natebarts3226 if I’m being honest. AirPods have really good anc. Less cabin pressure feel. I’m mainly a Samsung user, but I have Apple and Samsung phones and other devices. If you have an iPhone definitely go with the AirPods. If you have any other phone get the Sonys.
wireless chargins is more strain on the battery dude.
There is a reason why devices get hotter while wirelessly charging. A good solid wire connection is the best you can give to any electric device.
Hello, have you noticed white noise with noise canceling? For example, in a quiet room
that is normal with noise cancelling headphones. basically how it works is that the earbuds use the microphone to measure outside noise, and then it plays the opposite of that noise to cancel out the noise. this sometimes results in a slight white noise effect, but it’s barely audible especially when other media is added
well explained. Thanks
this aged well I bought the AirPods Pro 2nd generation with type-C
is he not reviwing the 2nd gen
awesome: charge with cable of apple watch slower, so less strain on battery
i think the battery life sucks on them.. i get about 4 hours into a work shift and they are already down to 30% my between 3 ANCs i can go every bit of an 8 hour shift before they are even down to 60% if it weren't for all the quality of life features on the airpods while at work i would prefer my between 3s
My noise cancellation ain’t working now and I just got it fixed in Apple Store so if someone knows what’s the problem please do comment the issue
Hey @ADITHYA
Even i feel the same ; dont know how to fix them ; could u please let me know how do i fix ANC
Until the mic quality is not getting better public (especially on public transportation) I wont even consider to buy it.. my airpods pro 1st gen mic is so bad outside
I have no issues indoors with mine, my friend can be outdoors and doesnt have issues even while fishing with the first gen ones
Great Review
can you charge 2022 airpods inside newest 2023 Gen 2 USB C case?
You can, but you have to reset the case
To me the AirPod Pro 2 stems aren’t any good for volume control. This is yet another case of fixing issues that weren’t there. I will never use them, as using my smartphone simply is faster to me. Other than that, I have to agree. I got the AirPods Pro 2 together with my iPhone 16 Pro Max and that ALMOST makes the Lighting Connector a thing of the past. I still have an iPad Pro 2nd Gen, and a Magic Keyboard with lightning connector, but at least on the iPhone side of things I’m no longer forced to have multiple cables with me, just in case.
I have 80 bucks cable in ears. And they sound way better then the Airpods Pro 2... And the PASSIVE Noise Canceling is awesome... With EQ they sound like 500+ IEMs..
How about the calls?
Do you still like them? Is it worth it?
Can the volume be turned down fully ? When those stupid ad breaks start during radio shows I want to turn the volume down fully!! Can I just press the volume button on the side of my iPhone and completely not hear anything ? It’s just that this doesn’t seem to be possible on other ear pods. Please help
You can add automation tasks
I just purchased a pair, on my way to pick them up.
its my first time saving up money to buy something expensive like airpods... (since im still a teen) so im buying it next week.. switching from crappy jbl earphones ;) im pretty excited as i tried my friend's pods2 and i really liked it, it would go well with my 14 pro!!
Goodluck with the crackling issues

I love my Pods2❤ Way,way better than I thought they would be. Going on a year since I paid the big dollars at the Apple Store at the release.
I was walking to the supermarket in my town centre and some guy wanted to quickly sell his AirPods Pro 2 cos he was hungry and I told him I had only £10 on me and he was tryna sell it for 50, he gave them for only 10 tho and I never felt better😁

@@Kayo2life Who needs it?
I run my work and personal things on an Apple ecosystem, and I honestly gotta tell you I am getting sick of Apple’s constrains. My AirPods Pro 1st Gen have a nasty buzz on the right airpod and nothing seems to fix it. I was going to get the 2nd gen pros, but instead I got 2 pair of Sony’s, the WH-1000XM4 and the WF-1000XM4 and they work way better than the . At this point I think the only products worth the money are the Macs and iPhones. Everything else is just average or plain bad products with GREAT marketing.
I had the Airpods Pro 1 for 3 years, super satisfied with everything and the noice cancelling in particular. Also at some point got a nasty buzz in the right one each time I put it in my ear and dissapears after 3 seconds. Then few months ago they started to get a distortion once encountered a hard sound or wind. Only thing that would work is take them out, back in the box, then back in the ears. Super annoying. So I bought some Pro 2 this week. I am seriously considering to see if I can return them. This product ANC is so bad. So much worse than the Pro 1. It is shocking. I suddenly hear my colleagues key strokes whereas before those would 100% be muffled. Can't believe how dissapointed and the quest for some real good ANC earbuds starts again......
@@razorsharp9850definitely something wrong with your Pro 2. The ANC on mine is amazing and significantly better than Pro 1. By Apple has had quality issues with AP1. The left mic on mine stopped working properly after 1.5 years. The right one is still working but my voice sounds a bit muffled over the call (I checked it by recording myself). Been using my wife’s Pro 2 since a we days and it’s a significant upgrade over AP1. Hopefully no QC issues on this.
@@razorsharp9850are you sure you're using the correct eartips? Go in settings, there's a check u can do.
I thought there are big issues and regrets with this. Turns out everything is perfect except for the port. Really? People can’t live with different ports these days?

Definitely not worth it, pro is also sucks
@@speedygfx7291 to each their own I got my pros and I love them can’t live without them nor go back to regular AirPods
I regretted getting these within the first 30 minutes. Not because of the tech but because of the fitment. I love the tech it’s great but because they are hard plastic shells they don’t quite fit my ears and I am constantly muting calls etc trying to adjust them so they don’t fall out. Tried all the ear pieces too
I LITERALLY just bought a pair yesterday. Immediately noticed how the battery life is ass. On a full charge im not even getting 4 hours straight. It’s bad.
Hi i have a question. Is it normal that on AirPods Pro 2 with transparency mode on and Music Playing (50% volume) I can hear someone talking but i cant understand exact words because of Music? Is it normal or my AirPods are wrong?
i don’t have them but i’m pretty sure its normal
great review .. man you deserve half a million subscribers ❤
whyd you give the ear fitness an 8 if they haven't fallen out once, it lit cant be any better
I had my airpod pro 1st gens for a year and the noise cancellation has decreased on them overtime and i hear crackling from the earbuds. I wanna upgrade to the pro 2s but is it worth paying almost 200 dollars for?
Yes their worth it but a usb c version may come out with the iPhone 15 if you use usb c
If you have the iPhone 15 but have the lightning AirPods, you can always use a Magsafe charger, Apple Watch charger, or really any wireless charger if you don’t wanna carry a lightning cable
I am not interested in white ear buds. Will only buy black.
Can you also do all of the same features if you have an android?
I wish they would come out with a black set.
i HEAVILY disagree with the “turn on fixed spatial audio in control center” statement. if you want to hear what the artist intended, stick to normal stereo.
all the fixed spatialized stereo does is put the audio into a fake virtual room with a short reverb added to it.
I have strange shaped ears... (not quite cauliflower ears but halfway there from rugby) So they are quite stiff if that makes sense, the airpods actually popped out on the first day but I havnt had that issue since so I was probably wearing them wrong, but the spatial audio drastically changes one ear from the other... most likely a "medical related issue" but yeah its a bit strange! Can't fault apple for them though, i just did it multiple times until it was all good!
Great review, for me they have only one mistake that does not apply to headphones Apple advertises 6 months of Apple Music for free, but you will not get that if you have ever used the offer of free apple music for 3 months for your phone! Quite a misleading ad. everyone who bought the phone before the headphones probably took advantage of the offer... And now they will NOT get their 6 months free
Slips out of hands very often. Connects to iPhone when in case, music feels very flat, nice spatial audio, comes out of ears very often, fits in pocket very nicely, sound quality is less impressive compared to my much cheaper Sony linkbuds s.
Please make video about pro 2 2nd gen
I think they sound good but in my case they often fall out so I still use my AirPods 2 if I’m out or moving my head a lot where I might lose the pro ones.
I just bought some, tried them in the car then retuned them immediately. Guess maybe I should have have tinkered with them, but was super disappointed for the price. Wireless earbuds vs. old wired earbuds for the price it seems like you’re paying 95% percent for the new tech and wireless tech then 5% for the headphones. These sound like $20 wired earbuds
Full agreement. Fanatical love for Apple distorts reality.
Wdym tinkered with them and should I buy them ??
@@nosenosezbest1156yes he didn’t even give them a day to test it out😂 try it out for a few days using the anc transparency mode and spatialized audio and head tracking try every single ear tip and see which first best
Same
@@Messup7654 For some people with sensitive ears, it only takes a moment to judge the quality, especially since with hearing you should judge the first moments. Hearing has the disadvantage (and advantage, depending on the circumstances) that it quickly gets used to even poor sound quality.
Glad I waited for the type C port
I just got my iPhone 15 pro max and I bought the new AirPods Pro’s 2 with usb c port. Not being able to afford to afford them previously worked in my favor. I use a MagSafe charger to charge my AirPods. Very convenient so I can use my cable for my phone.
Why did he start the video saying he could see problems with the AirPods without ever mentioning a problem?
He mentioned problems at the last category. Very minor problems though.
My AirPods Pro gen 1 lasts only 2yrs cos its battery drains irregularly and abnormally! Not sure gen 2 last how many years! 🤷🏻♂️
Now that we have adaptive audio, it all makes sense
But will they stay in your ears during vigorous exercise?
Airpods pro - worth money for sure 🔥
Their sound quality is “not bad”…they’re not good, but not nice.
