Hey Linus you can set your AirPods Pro to always use the Left or Right AirPods‘ microphone. If only one is broken that should allow you to still use it decently well!
@@deivytrajan it must have just broken one day maybe while I was sleeping because the next time I FaceTimed with a friend they told me my voice was glitching, then when I took off my right airpod it worked again
I guess he's on the edge from the constant grinding. This was either filmed on a Monday or in the morning plus he is genuinely excited and probably read the script beforehand. That's what I think but not that it matters :)
spatial audio, for me anyway, is really for TV/movies and gives it a much more natural sounding experience. It sounds like the sounds are coming from the environment rather than being beamed telepathically in my head. For podcasts or for music it really seems more weird or gimmicky.
Spatial Audio has scared the shit out of me multiple times. I have some weird songs on my playlists and every time they come up I’ll literally have a soft voice in one ear and not the other which makes me think someone is whispering in my ear
I’m the opposite. I like spatial audio on for listening to music because the sound stage seems better. For movies, TV, and videoes it just sounds like there is reverb or echo.
I don’t like Spacial Audio in music unless I’m listening to an Dolby Atmos supported song. If it’s not a Dolby Atmos song, then it totally seems gimmicky. It makes it seem “wider” but it removes a lot of the detail. Where as with Dolby Atmos I actually notice some details that I hadn’t before, and music without it seems really flat :/
For me they also really help with the fit, the original silicone tips on the air pods pro always fell out of my ears but with memory foam tips they actually stay in
Yeah, I really can't have tips on my earbuds, as they cause me issues in terms of both suction when taking them out (no matter how I try to gently twist/whatever) as well as microphonics and other noises (e.g. chewing food is infinitely louder to me when my ears are sealed like that). While there are a few other choices for non-tipped earbuds, Apple is one of the few companies making really good ones. I say this as a big fan of Android and someone who otherwise dislikes a lot about Apple's general MO. I'm curious to try the Pixel Buds A-series since they have tips but also a vent to help prevent suction. I'll see soon enough.
Linus, here’s a work around for the busted mic on your AirPods Pro: in Bluetooth settings, you can set the mic to switch between the L and R mic automatically, or manually set it to L or R, so just choose the one that’s not broken.
To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.

I don't understand the myth of Apple being user friendly. They make literally everything as difficult as possible with some roundabout tedious inconvenient ways. I remember hating having the iphone because of how hard it was to make aby simplest things with it, and everything needed to be done through that terribly, terribly unusable iTunes, instead of allowing me to just drag and drop something to a folder in the phones memory :/

God Bless Apple for making these. I never liked earphones in my ear canals. Also a lot of people don’t need active noise cancellation. Just with the original AirPods, 3rd parties will sell silicone ear hooks that do a really good job keeping them your ear, especially for working out.
Because the airpod pros, which are often on sale now, are similar in price to these. Also, it’s obvious these are gonna be better than the previous gens, and at the end of the video he says they are “a huge step up in terms of comfort, in terms of sound”
I get that the price is closer to the pros and that those are the ones he has more experience with but I think they should be compared to the first gen’s non in-ear to non in-ear buds. I upgraded from the 2 gen and the 3 gen don’t have the same profile they’re a bit wider so they feel like they are floating a bit in your ear compared to those.
See I’m so happy they didn’t put the silicon tip on these, I hate those. Also I don’t mind having background noise go through since I wear them out a lot
It’s not just about ppl not liking the snug in ear feel, many ppl like myself have oddly shaped or just plain tiny ear holes that do NOT work with ANY ear bud tip. And yes I’ve tried them all. Yes yes even the foam ones and yes the smallest sized ones. I’m glad apple is continuing the non in-earnud AirPods
same here, airpods are the only headphones that stay in my ears, and even then the right one I usually have to adjust every once in a while because it slowly falls out I've tried so many in ears with the rubber tips that I have lost count
@@barreltitor1419 but it’s still easier to hear people with transparency mode on the pros then nothing on the normals. I have both and I have compared.
As a father of 3 I don’t like the Pros as they isolate me from my loved ones. With the regular (non noise canceling) version, I can hear is someone is talking to me.
@@CoveringFish they got rid of it because basically no one used it and it allowed them to slim down the display for more internal room. I was sad when it got removed too but really it's on all Apple for why people didn't use it. If you aren't the type of person to read the specs on something, watch tech reviews, or dig around in settings on your phone then you would have almost no idea it existed expect for maybe triggering it a couple of times. They literally never had it in any marketing or put a tutorial out on the phone for people to learn. Also Apple never made developers put any type of separation between 3D touchable things and non 3D touchable things. So iOS was the only you could trust to actually make use of 3D Touch. It was convenient but now you can get the same effect by just pressing and holding which I guess is nice but it was cool feature how it felt like you were actually pressing into the display.
I find that Spatial Audio is best for old classical music recordings (like in the 70s and 80s), which reduces a lot of static that was present in those recordings.
These really piqued my interest. Been using gen 1 AirPods daily for a few years. They’ve seen better days and I have been looking to upgrade but I hate silicone tipped headphones so never wanted to get the pros
I just upgraded to these and I love how they are low profile but the bud is a bit wider. Unlike the first gen’s which are a bit more angled so they don’t fit as well in my ear. They kind of feel like they are floating. If you like the fit from the original AirPods just know these fit different.
@@stevedotwav no it's really not EQ, it's the spacial binaural rendering. EQ is a totally irrelevant because this can go on ALL frequency bands dynamically
@@adibonts "Sounds reverberate off of objects near the sound source and the sound waves reach the listener from many different directions and sometimes reach the listener's ear canal directly. When the sound waves reach the listener, they are transformed by the listeners body. The ears, head, shoulders and even the torso contribute to HRTF. Most notably, the size and mass of the head, the shape of the ear, the length and diameter of the ear canal, and the dimensions of the oral and sinus cavities all manipulate the incoming sound waves by boosting some frequencies and attenuating others. These changes in the frequency profile of a sound help create a unique perspective and perception for the listener. These changes also help the listener pinpoint the location of the sound source" 'Boosting some frequencies and attenuating others'...huh, I wonder if you could sum that up in one word? Something that would affect how "equal" the frequencies are? It is equalization that is calculated by a *H*ead *R*elated *T*ransfer *F*unction based on real-time proximity information from the UWB chips in the devices.
Spatial Audio with music is hit or miss because the original recording weren’t recorded for spatial audio (in the same way recordings originally made in Mono often sound not as great when up mixed to stereo). Now that spatial audio is being more widely adopted, I think you will see artists mix their albums with spatial audio/Dolby atmos in mind. Also, spatial audio works better with some types of music better than others. In rock/metal, there is an intended wall of sound to create a rocking sound - separating the instruments weakens that wall of sound effect and makes it sound “thin.” For classical, R&B, Jazz, the spatial audio effect works more naturally.
For me, I like the normal AirPods a lot more than the AirPods Pro. The Pro have better sound, active noise canceling and are probably the better buy for the money… IF you like „deep in ear feeling“. I really don’t like this silicone tip going in my ear, so I really hope Apple will keep up the „normal in ear shape“.
Fun fact about the headphone pocket: it was originally made for your pocketwatch on a chain. For me, I put my keys in there (attached to my LTT lanyard and my belt)
I suffer from chronic tinnitus and got these when they came out(had the standard wired ones). I cannot tell you how much they have helped me get to sleep at night.
I got mine about a month after release, and I love them. In my opinion they’re the best ear buds for both music and calls. I mainly use them to listen to music and the battery is so good that I haven’t even heard the low battery sound so far.
@@LaidBackDeveloper Im not sure where he got that from, you can get 2 sets for $8, so its $2 per tip which is reasonable because of their weird hard snap design
Spatial audio is great for some things and terrible for others. I would recomend trying it out just to see what it is like. Usually music doesn't go soo well with it, but some songs work great with it.
Cant compare while both paired to the iPhone, I noticed that sound quality is slightly degraded and you’ll have a harder time picking out sound differences while AB comparing them.
Honestly you can get airpod pros for 190-200 dollars quite often on amazon or best buy, so I don't really see a reason to ever buy the standard version over the pros.
Biggest difference is the silicone tips. Personally I find the silicone tips really uncomfortable and have no issue with gen 1 style falling out , might just be the shape of my ears
@@Ronaldihldo have you tried all the different sizes? Because he regular AirPods fit great in my ears but the pros are just so much more comfortable for long periods
@@Ronaldihldo I personally couldn’t stand the pros when I tried them because the ear tips weren’t comfortable. I then ended up buying a pair later on due to the sound quality and features. I found switching to the small tips changed everything and I now absolutely adore them and find them comfortable.
@@BeesonsCars Same here. The small tips made a whole world of difference. Even the medium tips were super uncomfortable and I couldn’t keep them in for even a minute. I also got my AirPod Pros on Amazon for $170 and it was the best thing I ever did.
You have to just realize many people find in ear earphones very uncomfortable for a variety of reasons so yes there is plenty of reasons besides monetary
I remember being given The End to try at chik fil a when I visited the US in 2018. I may have used quite a lot. I liked it! Especially with 40C weather during that summer lmao very cooling
The one thing I like about headphones with silicone tips is when you get a good seal, it almost seems like it helps with the low end (bass) and make it sound fuller. Also, I love dbrand. Their "I don't give an F&%$" attitude is the best. 🤣
I’ve always used the little black foam covers over my apple earbuds. Since day one. I can run, mountain bike, lift weights. Anything, and they don’t go anywhere. Time to update to the newer AirPods. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
These were the perfect upgrade for me. My 1st gen Airpods were on the way out, I don't like in-ears. When I'm wearing earphones I don't want noise cancellation because I'm running and need to hear cars or I'm in the office and want to still hear someone if they call me. When I want ANC I have my Bose QC35. Initial impressions after a couple of days; the sound quality is so much better than my old ones! I like the Spatial audio but its a bit annoying cos sometimes I like the effect and sometimes I don't so I'm constantly having to pull my phone out if I have a playlist with different genre's. In typical Apple style it's one of those recommendations were if you are a couple of generations behind then the upgrade is worth it or if you are buying airpods for the first time. If you have the pro's or even a working 2nd gen you can just not bother until they break.
“As the artist intended it”. Plenty of artists record Spatial Audio mixes as part of their production process. “Dolby Atmos” songs use a completely different version of the song made for spatial audio.
As a born and raised New Yorker I have had to live with loud street noise, subway train noise, people constantly playing instruments in the station, etc. I just purchased the AirPods Pro over the AirPods 3 and now I don’t even realize there are drums being played about 10 feet away from me. I would spend $50 more if it meant getting noise cancellation. Plus the rubber tips are very secure for me but some people say they don’t feel right. This is a matter of preference but if you live with a decent amount of noise on a daily basis, I would absolutely recommend Pros.
I absolutely hate the feeling of rubber nubs on earbuds, so I'm still happy with my 2nd gens. Would love to have the noise cancellation and better sound, but comfort comes first for me.
For spatial audio. Press on the volume bar in the control centre. You can change it there. With AirPods Pro you can change the spatial audio and noise cancelling
I just got mine today and my first impressions are, I prefer the fit of the original AirPods. Although I'm hoping that I'll adjust to the change in a few days or so
Only in ear headphones I've owned that just stay in without me constantly adjusting them. I can even run with these in and they stay in, in a way that make me feel confident that they will never fall out. I have spent a lot of money over the years to work this out, and as much as I didn't want to be another person with AirPods, they deserve the cult following.
These look so nice but after having to block the Mac Address earwax video so I didn't gag every time I saw it in my feed...I think I will stay with the pro
I personally have pro's but the thing with this is just like the switch and the switch OLED, it isn't a replacement or upgrade if you already have the normal ones it just gives new buyers more options on what would suit them the best
Never really use ANC on my pros. I like the silicone tip style, but I don’t listen to music loud and the quieter you have the music, the more pronounced the pressure is
Hey Linus, if these are anything like the Pros, you can tweak the sound profile in Settings > Accessibility > Headphone Accommodations in addition to the stuff in the Bluetooth settings. The Pros even have tweaks to the ANC and Transparency mode that you can apply.
i dont wanna buy these airpods because i know they're gonna release new airpods pros soon. but i don't wanna get the next airpods pros because i know they're going to release new airpods. but then i don't wanna get those new airpods because i know they're gonna release new airpods pros. so basically i am not going to get any airpods.
@@jimjamjon2285 This seems very likely. It can also be released near Christmas time as well so sales boom harder than usual, which isn't too unlikely but since they added magsafe to the pros and released Gen 3, makes it seem sort of plausible.
im in the EXACT same spot my lightning buds that came with my iPhone finally broke after 5 years, so I decided to look into AirPods pros, even though im really tempted I just feel like apple will release new airpods pros for the same price the second I buy the current gen ones lmao
I actually recommend using sticky tack to clean out the grills on AirPods. Does a great job at getting the gunk out of there, far better than the alcohol did.
I prefer to keep it in my wallet tbh, I rarely ever carry any coins so the coin compartment is perfect for picks. As for that small little pocket, I most commonly use it for the keyfob whenever I'm driving.
He mentioned the laptop drivers thing. My dell drivers(wave something) crash constantly, and when they fade for a second, the sound simply falls down to the likes of a phone speaker. It's really unbelievable the difference the drivers make
@@naught0 studies? Not off the top of my head. Anecdotal evidence from people who didn't have tinnitus, didn't work in environments or have lifestyles that would risk tinnitus, but then got tinnitus after using ANC constantly? Oh yes. Someone here on RUclips even made a vijayo about it. I'll find the link after my shift.
@@jordananderson2728 Thanks, that'd be interesting! Looks like the prevailing theory is that ANC makes people more likely to notice tinnitus by removing background noise, which makes sense. ANC won't actively damage hearing unless the volume generated by the headphones is great enough to actually cause damage otherwise. Cheers
I just HAD to pick up the Teardown skin set for my Switch! So glad you guys still have that sponsor spot, SO EXCITED that they still had some in stock…. HELL YES
Weird that they aren't making this available to existing customers. I suppose as unrepairable as they are, it's probably time for most owners to refresh their purchase.
The pros have been consistently sold, brand new, for $200 so really you are saving $20. I bought the pros recently for $200 on amazon after I tried my friend's pros and saw they do not fall out of my ear while the regular airpods do consistently fall out. I can't see the 3rd gen airpods improving staying in my ears as the tips are the things that save the pros from flying out. For spatial audio (non-fixed) they are SUCH a gimmick. When I first tried on the pros and it automatically had them enabled I was like "wow cool, it's like you are at a concert situation" but almost immediately out in the real world it's just the worst because I for one just want to listen to music normally. I never want to have it where only one side works because I made a left turn to cross the street and the spatial audio didn't recognize yet that it wasn't my head that moved but whole body and takes a few seconds to adjust.
You can disable head tracking in accessibility -> airpods -> head tracking. Then when you turn the spatial sound on, it will just sound like it has a bigger soundstage but without this annoying tracking and sound playing in only one airpod
I bought mine for 169 on Black Friday and I saw them less than a month ago at 179. Now they’re back permanently at 249 and the only change is the updated magsafe case
I have the 2nd gen AirPods, I really don't get on with silicone in earphones just never have so that's why I didn't get the pro. But this really caught my eye, is it worth the upgrade??
People should be aware that spatial audio/Dolby Atmos is not simply audio virtualization like all these other companies. The artist/recording studio have to mix and master the tracks in Dolby Atmos for that to be available, so it’s not just a virtual audio gimmick.
Earlier this year I bought the AirPod Pros, but the silicon tips just kept slipping out of my ears, which made using them very annoying. Yesterday I got the 3rd Gen AirPods, and these are awesome, although I miss the noise canceling of the Pros a bit.
So Linus does know what the difference between noise cancelation and noise isolation is... Then why does LMG keep promoting Drop's MASSDROP X SENNHEISER PC37X headset using FALSE and MISLEADING information claiming that the mic has noise cancelation, which is obviously doesn't... It plugs to the computer via the 3.5mm jack. I'm bringing this up because I bought them thinking that they have noise cancelation and once I got them after spending several hours googling and talking with Sennheiser realising that it's all just false advertising from the Drop's side... LMG also has in their talking points that the headset has a noise canceling mic, which is false...
As a transition from the 1st Gen’s to the 3rd Gen’s, you will notice a bigger difference compared to transitioning from the Pros. I’d like to add that the specs in terms of audios has been improved pretty well. I hated the lack of bass, treble and other audio quality features. The 3rd gen’s are (assuming) as the latest Sony earphones and Beats. Audio is also increased so you won’t be needing to put audio full volume which is honestly great. And the audio sounds crisp on phone calls and FaceTime, the features brought out such as the tap to mute is awesome because bringing out your phone from your pocket while your working seemed a bit annoying. Otherwise I think Apple did a great job on these but they could’ve added the noise cancellation 😕.
My ear holes are too small for the smallest tips that the pro's have. They just don't stay in my ear. I really like the active noise cancellation, but they just don't fit my ears. So it's nice to see they are going to keep making the regular airpods that I can actually use.
lining up a QI charging pad in normal use is such a small bonus of magsafe, if my phone gets knocked its still perfectly placed on the charger, i can place my phone on the charger perfectly at night with the lights off, I have a car mount/charger thats just a flat plate and relies on the magnets to hold the phone there and its never moved let alone fallen off i can pick up my phone and do things whilst its charging wirelessly. honestly its one the best features of newer iphones.

you can just use blue tac to get the ear way out pretty easy
@@jkojkojkojk try different tips
See I’m so happy they didn’t put the silicon tip on these, I hate those. Also I don’t mind having background noise go through since I wear them out a lot
This is the review I was waiting for.
I love older Linus. He's so real and raw now.
and all it took was a two-year ongoing pandemic
It’s not just about ppl not liking the snug in ear feel, many ppl like myself have oddly shaped or just plain tiny ear holes that do NOT work with ANY ear bud tip. And yes I’ve tried them all. Yes yes even the foam ones and yes the smallest sized ones. I’m glad apple is continuing the non in-earnud AirPods
it can also be good enough if you're doing activities which need you to be semi-aware of your surroundings.
same here, airpods are the only headphones that stay in my ears, and even then the right one I usually have to adjust every once in a while because it slowly falls out
I've tried so many in ears with the rubber tips that I have lost count
@@barreltitor1419 The AirPods Pro’s have transparency mode for that.
@@gjmcgee transparency sounds different from having semi-passive noise isolation.
@@barreltitor1419 but it’s still easier to hear people with transparency mode on the pros then nothing on the normals. I have both and I have compared.
I like that he didn't just put the old Pods case in the new ones box to see if they were the same size lol
your curtains suck
As a father of 3 I don’t like the Pros as they isolate me from my loved ones. With the regular (non noise canceling) version, I can hear is someone is talking to me.
8:31 you can see linus trying to press deeper into the display as though it has 3d touch... sad that its gone :(
dude yesss i was so used to it on my iphone x and now with the 13 it feels inferior not having it ugh but oh well
That’s gonna be the feature I’m going to miss the most. Holding onto my XS for as long as possible
Jesus Is that really gone damn cmon apple
@@CoveringFish they got rid of it because basically no one used it and it allowed them to slim down the display for more internal room.
I was sad when it got removed too but really it's on all Apple for why people didn't use it. If you aren't the type of person to read the specs on something, watch tech reviews, or dig around in settings on your phone then you would have almost no idea it existed expect for maybe triggering it a couple of times. They literally never had it in any marketing or put a tutorial out on the phone for people to learn.
Also Apple never made developers put any type of separation between 3D touchable things and non 3D touchable things. So iOS was the only you could trust to actually make use of 3D Touch.
It was convenient but now you can get the same effect by just pressing and holding which I guess is nice but it was cool feature how it felt like you were actually pressing into the display.
@@Hut153 same here, got the last 3d touch phone
It's great being able to hear everything around you, you don't need to take them out
THREAD: Linus's house is haunted and he's blocking out the noise of the ghosts.
@Gina R0se SЕx Cʜᴀɴɴᴇʟ 18S no…that‘s your lighter pocket^^
I find that Spatial Audio is best for old classical music recordings (like in the 70s and 80s), which reduces a lot of static that was present in those recordings.
Gotta love the boosted volume on Linus saying "that goes in real easy"
These really piqued my interest. Been using gen 1 AirPods daily for a few years. They’ve seen better days and I have been looking to upgrade but I hate silicone tipped headphones so never wanted to get the pros
I just upgraded to these and I love how they are low profile but the bud is a bit wider. Unlike the first gen’s which are a bit more angled so they don’t fit as well in my ear. They kind of feel like they are floating. If you like the fit from the original AirPods just know these fit different.
I think it's not EQ really, it's the Dolby Atmos "3D space" algorithm
I mean, it's still EQ. But it's dynamically adjusted according to an HRTF
lol I don't know why people like their music muffled
@@naufalap AirPods are also used to watch movies. Spatial audio gives you a theater kind of effect.
@@stevedotwav no it's really not EQ, it's the spacial binaural rendering. EQ is a totally irrelevant because this can go on ALL frequency bands dynamically
@@adibonts
"Sounds reverberate off of objects near the sound source and the sound waves reach the listener from many different directions and sometimes reach the listener's ear canal directly. When the sound waves reach the listener, they are transformed by the listeners body. The ears, head, shoulders and even the torso contribute to HRTF. Most notably, the size and mass of the head, the shape of the ear, the length and diameter of the ear canal, and the dimensions of the oral and sinus cavities all manipulate the incoming sound waves by boosting some frequencies and attenuating others. These changes in the frequency profile of a sound help create a unique perspective and perception for the listener. These changes also help the listener pinpoint the location of the sound source"
'Boosting some frequencies and attenuating others'...huh, I wonder if you could sum that up in one word? Something that would affect how "equal" the frequencies are?
It is equalization that is calculated by a *H*ead *R*elated *T*ransfer *F*unction based on real-time proximity information from the UWB chips in the devices.
Spatial Audio with music is hit or miss because the original recording weren’t recorded for spatial audio (in the same way recordings originally made in Mono often sound not as great when up mixed to stereo). Now that spatial audio is being more widely adopted, I think you will see artists mix their albums with spatial audio/Dolby atmos in mind.
Also, spatial audio works better with some types of music better than others. In rock/metal, there is an intended wall of sound to create a rocking sound - separating the instruments weakens that wall of sound effect and makes it sound “thin.” For classical, R&B, Jazz, the spatial audio effect works more naturally.
Could you imagine Linus doing hot ones? 😂
OH MY GOD I NEED TO SEE THIS
Make this happen!
The world needs this
For me, I like the normal AirPods a lot more than the AirPods Pro. The Pro have better sound, active noise canceling and are probably the better buy for the money… IF you like „deep in ear feeling“. I really don’t like this silicone tip going in my ear, so I really hope Apple will keep up the „normal in ear shape“.
It’s a choice for artists to get on board with Spatial Audio. It had to be mixed for it. And all music that isn’t mixed for it simply plays in stereo.
Linus's point about alligning airpods is interesting, I find that I always allign them on the charging pad, and struggle with my phone more often
Hey Linus can you make a video about sleeping designed airbuds like the Bose sleepcomfort compared to AirPods or other airbuds
ruclips.net/video/OfYo2qQtwMs/видео.html
This is a good video about the sleep buds
I love how Linus just tries popping it out of the box straight away and after like 3-4 seconds of talking realises there's a stopper.
Fun fact about the headphone pocket: it was originally made for your pocketwatch on a chain. For me, I put my keys in there (attached to my LTT lanyard and my belt)
Yeah and pocket knives
I suffer from chronic tinnitus and got these when they came out(had the standard wired ones). I cannot tell you how much they have helped me get to sleep at night.
I got mine about a month after release, and I love them. In my opinion they’re the best ear buds for both music and calls. I mainly use them to listen to music and the battery is so good that I haven’t even heard the low battery sound so far.
Sameee I love the air pods 3 so much better then my 2's
Wait. Did Linus say he buys an entire set of replacement AirPods Pro when the ear tips get yellow? Replacement tips are $10
That's not what I heard. I swear I heard him say buying "tips" not a whole new set of headphones.
finally, someone with good taste in music
10$????? What the hell?
@@LaidBackDeveloper
Im not sure where he got that from, you can get 2 sets for $8, so its $2 per tip which is reasonable because of their weird hard snap design
@@-Burb $10 is the Canadian price so that’s what I got in my Google results
Spatial audio is great for some things and terrible for others. I would recomend trying it out just to see what it is like. Usually music doesn't go soo well with it, but some songs work great with it.
Cant compare while both paired to the iPhone, I noticed that sound quality is slightly degraded and you’ll have a harder time picking out sound differences while AB comparing them.
Honestly you can get airpod pros for 190-200 dollars quite often on amazon or best buy, so I don't really see a reason to ever buy the standard version over the pros.
Biggest difference is the silicone tips. Personally I find the silicone tips really uncomfortable and have no issue with gen 1 style falling out , might just be the shape of my ears
@@Ronaldihldo have you tried all the different sizes? Because he regular AirPods fit great in my ears but the pros are just so much more comfortable for long periods
@@Ronaldihldo I personally couldn’t stand the pros when I tried them because the ear tips weren’t comfortable. I then ended up buying a pair later on due to the sound quality and features. I found switching to the small tips changed everything and I now absolutely adore them and find them comfortable.
@@BeesonsCars Same here. The small tips made a whole world of difference. Even the medium tips were super uncomfortable and I couldn’t keep them in for even a minute.
I also got my AirPod Pros on Amazon for $170 and it was the best thing I ever did.
You have to just realize many people find in ear earphones very uncomfortable for a variety of reasons so yes there is plenty of reasons besides monetary
My airpod pros are a year old and my silicon tips are still white 😬
I remember being given The End to try at chik fil a when I visited the US in 2018. I may have used quite a lot. I liked it! Especially with 40C weather during that summer lmao very cooling
Dbrand ads are the only ones i don’t skip props to the marketing team
The one thing I like about headphones with silicone tips is when you get a good seal, it almost seems like it helps with the low end (bass) and make it sound fuller.
Also, I love dbrand. Their "I don't give an F&%$" attitude is the best. 🤣
It does help.
I love the relationship between linus and dbrand :D 10/10
Thanks for confirming my purchase after buying them! I’m an anti sealed person, and these are next level vs the first gen AirPods I have.
Are they comfortable?
Debated the AirPods 3rd gen but got the pros instead the noise cancellation and spacial audio is amazing
I love DBrand's trolling of Linus. 😆
I’ve always used the little black foam covers over my apple earbuds. Since day one. I can run, mountain bike, lift weights. Anything, and they don’t go anywhere. Time to update to the newer AirPods. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
These were the perfect upgrade for me. My 1st gen Airpods were on the way out, I don't like in-ears. When I'm wearing earphones I don't want noise cancellation because I'm running and need to hear cars or I'm in the office and want to still hear someone if they call me. When I want ANC I have my Bose QC35. Initial impressions after a couple of days; the sound quality is so much better than my old ones! I like the Spatial audio but its a bit annoying cos sometimes I like the effect and sometimes I don't so I'm constantly having to pull my phone out if I have a playlist with different genre's. In typical Apple style it's one of those recommendations were if you are a couple of generations behind then the upgrade is worth it or if you are buying airpods for the first time. If you have the pro's or even a working 2nd gen you can just not bother until they break.
With airpods pro theres transparency mode so you can still hear around you just fyi
Transparency mode is much better than kind of hearing background noise. Transparency mode amplifies the background.
Could you guys review the motif anc wireless earbuds from Marshall?
“As the artist intended it”. Plenty of artists record Spatial Audio mixes as part of their production process. “Dolby Atmos” songs use a completely different version of the song made for spatial audio.
As a born and raised New Yorker I have had to live with loud street noise, subway train noise, people constantly playing instruments in the station, etc. I just purchased the AirPods Pro over the AirPods 3 and now I don’t even realize there are drums being played about 10 feet away from me. I would spend $50 more if it meant getting noise cancellation. Plus the rubber tips are very secure for me but some people say they don’t feel right. This is a matter of preference but if you live with a decent amount of noise on a daily basis, I would absolutely recommend Pros.
I absolutely hate the feeling of rubber nubs on earbuds, so I'm still happy with my 2nd gens. Would love to have the noise cancellation and better sound, but comfort comes first for me.
I can't stand the rubber seal on headphones, the feeling of it makes me nervous or something...
For spatial audio. Press on the volume bar in the control centre. You can change it there. With AirPods Pro you can change the spatial audio and noise cancelling
The pros always push out of my ear, no matter how much I clean them or my ears. These are made almost exclusively for me haha
I just got mine today and my first impressions are, I prefer the fit of the original AirPods. Although I'm hoping that I'll adjust to the change in a few days or so
Dbrand really knows how to spice up their sponsor ads!
Only in ear headphones I've owned that just stay in without me constantly adjusting them. I can even run with these in and they stay in, in a way that make me feel confident that they will never fall out. I have spent a lot of money over the years to work this out, and as much as I didn't want to be another person with AirPods, they deserve the cult following.
These look so nice but after having to block the Mac Address earwax video so I didn't gag every time I saw it in my feed...I think I will stay with the pro
I personally have pro's but the thing with this is just like the switch and the switch OLED, it isn't a replacement or upgrade if you already have the normal ones it just gives new buyers more options on what would suit them the best
When do we get the new MacBook unboxing?! The suspense
Soon hopefully.
LMG just got them (going by their Twitter), so we won't have to wait much longer. We just need to be patient.
Liked the video, but a bit ridiculous that you didn’t know how to turn spatial audio on and off given you have AirPods Pro.
so this is the video where linus gets poisoned my dbrand...
nice
Lol wat
Never really use ANC on my pros. I like the silicone tip style, but I don’t listen to music loud and the quieter you have the music, the more pronounced the pressure is
“Complain to your rep boss, oh wait…he don’t care”
Got me in stitches
Hey Linus, if these are anything like the Pros, you can tweak the sound profile in Settings > Accessibility > Headphone Accommodations in addition to the stuff in the Bluetooth settings. The Pros even have tweaks to the ANC and Transparency mode that you can apply.
i dont wanna buy these airpods because i know they're gonna release new airpods pros soon. but i don't wanna get the next airpods pros because i know they're going to release new airpods. but then i don't wanna get those new airpods because i know they're gonna release new airpods pros. so basically i am not going to get any airpods.
lol
Word on the street is AirPods Pro Gen 2 will be revealed March 2022 for Apple’s spring event
@@jimjamjon2285 This seems very likely. It can also be released near Christmas time as well so sales boom harder than usual, which isn't too unlikely but since they added magsafe to the pros and released Gen 3, makes it seem sort of plausible.
im in the EXACT same spot
my lightning buds that came with my iPhone finally broke after 5 years, so I decided to look into AirPods pros, even though im really tempted I just feel like apple will release new airpods pros for the same price the second I buy the current gen ones lmao
This basically sums up any tech product
I actually recommend using sticky tack to clean out the grills on AirPods. Does a great job at getting the gunk out of there, far better than the alcohol did.
Ask any guitarist you know, Linus - that’s a PICK pocket.
I prefer to keep it in my wallet tbh, I rarely ever carry any coins so the coin compartment is perfect for picks.
As for that small little pocket, I most commonly use it for the keyfob whenever I'm driving.
And I use that for keys, and I do play guitar, but fingerstyle mostly 😛
Actually it was desined to carry pocket watches. The design still sticked so here we are.
He mentioned the laptop drivers thing. My dell drivers(wave something) crash constantly, and when they fade for a second, the sound simply falls down to the likes of a phone speaker. It's really unbelievable the difference the drivers make
"I use the ANC when I sleep"
Linus is going to end up with tinnitus real fast.
There is no link between ANC and tinnitus -- got any proof?
@@naught0 studies? Not off the top of my head. Anecdotal evidence from people who didn't have tinnitus, didn't work in environments or have lifestyles that would risk tinnitus, but then got tinnitus after using ANC constantly? Oh yes.
Someone here on RUclips even made a vijayo about it. I'll find the link after my shift.
@@jordananderson2728 Thanks, that'd be interesting! Looks like the prevailing theory is that ANC makes people more likely to notice tinnitus by removing background noise, which makes sense. ANC won't actively damage hearing unless the volume generated by the headphones is great enough to actually cause damage otherwise. Cheers
I just HAD to pick up the Teardown skin set for my Switch! So glad you guys still have that sponsor spot, SO EXCITED that they still had some in stock…. HELL YES
i love his tone in this video, seems like he has a long ass day and is tired
Would you recommend airpods pro to a non apple user? I use samsung phones (and occasionally the ipad pro)
Also if you buy (now) the Airpods Pro, it has the new magsafe charging case, it's not exclusive to the Airpods 3
Weird that they aren't making this available to existing customers. I suppose as unrepairable as they are, it's probably time for most owners to refresh their purchase.
You can actually deactivate the Head Tracking in Spatial Audio within the accessibility settings.
The pros have been consistently sold, brand new, for $200 so really you are saving $20. I bought the pros recently for $200 on amazon after I tried my friend's pros and saw they do not fall out of my ear while the regular airpods do consistently fall out. I can't see the 3rd gen airpods improving staying in my ears as the tips are the things that save the pros from flying out.
For spatial audio (non-fixed) they are SUCH a gimmick. When I first tried on the pros and it automatically had them enabled I was like "wow cool, it's like you are at a concert situation" but almost immediately out in the real world it's just the worst because I for one just want to listen to music normally. I never want to have it where only one side works because I made a left turn to cross the street and the spatial audio didn't recognize yet that it wasn't my head that moved but whole body and takes a few seconds to adjust.
The crazy part is last year I think the pros were 169 or 179$ on Black Friday
You can disable head tracking in accessibility -> airpods -> head tracking.
Then when you turn the spatial sound on, it will just sound like it has a bigger soundstage but without this annoying tracking and sound playing in only one airpod
I bought mine for 169 on Black Friday and I saw them less than a month ago at 179. Now they’re back permanently at 249 and the only change is the updated magsafe case
I'm going to like this video just for Dbrand's sponsor spot making use of one of my favorite hot sauces to use for chicken wings.
Very impressed Linus actually noticed that it was ~ 0.1mm thicker.
He's very experienced looking for that 0.1mm difference
The 3’s are perfection personified
I prefer my beats studio earbuds to what apple released.
You do know that Apple owns Beats... They're basically the same company.
@@SeanWashPhoto yeah I was going to point that out, apple was the on that released the beats 😂
Better price and better options on the beats.
Yes, I do know that apple owns beats and have for years.
Honestly like the new editing style
i love your interactions with dbrand :) their idgaf attitude in general is rather pleasing.
it’s such good marketing
I have the 2nd gen AirPods, I really don't get on with silicone in earphones just never have so that's why I didn't get the pro. But this really caught my eye, is it worth the upgrade??
wow
Didn’t ask 🗿👍
@@idkwhy2508 didn't ask for you to comment
@@artemisgladea1404 didn’t ask you to comment about didn’t asking about me commenting
you sure are early.
People should be aware that spatial audio/Dolby Atmos is not simply audio virtualization like all these other companies. The artist/recording studio have to mix and master the tracks in Dolby Atmos for that to be available, so it’s not just a virtual audio gimmick.
I love how dbrand only basically trolls the shit out of Linus. I don’t think I’ve seen them troll any other RUclipsr get trolled by them
Earlier this year I bought the AirPod Pros, but the silicon tips just kept slipping out of my ears, which made using them very annoying. Yesterday I got the 3rd Gen AirPods, and these are awesome, although I miss the noise canceling of the Pros a bit.
So Linus does know what the difference between noise cancelation and noise isolation is... Then why does LMG keep promoting Drop's MASSDROP X SENNHEISER PC37X headset using FALSE and MISLEADING information claiming that the mic has noise cancelation, which is obviously doesn't... It plugs to the computer via the 3.5mm jack. I'm bringing this up because I bought them thinking that they have noise cancelation and once I got them after spending several hours googling and talking with Sennheiser realising that it's all just false advertising from the Drop's side... LMG also has in their talking points that the headset has a noise canceling mic, which is false...
As a transition from the 1st Gen’s to the 3rd Gen’s, you will notice a bigger difference compared to transitioning from the Pros. I’d like to add that the specs in terms of audios has been improved pretty well. I hated the lack of bass, treble and other audio quality features. The 3rd gen’s are (assuming) as the latest Sony earphones and Beats. Audio is also increased so you won’t be needing to put audio full volume which is honestly great. And the audio sounds crisp on phone calls and FaceTime, the features brought out such as the tap to mute is awesome because bringing out your phone from your pocket while your working seemed a bit annoying. Otherwise I think Apple did a great job on these but they could’ve added the noise cancellation 😕.
My ear holes are too small for the smallest tips that the pro's have. They just don't stay in my ear. I really like the active noise cancellation, but they just don't fit my ears. So it's nice to see they are going to keep making the regular airpods that I can actually use.
I want to see that Tone Free FP8 video. I bought the tone free FN7s last year and I want to know if it’s worth upgrading
lining up a QI charging pad in normal use is such a small bonus of magsafe, if my phone gets knocked its still perfectly placed on the charger, i can place my phone on the charger perfectly at night with the lights off, I have a car mount/charger thats just a flat plate and relies on the magnets to hold the phone there and its never moved let alone fallen off i can pick up my phone and do things whilst its charging wirelessly.
honestly its one the best features of newer iphones.
Watching this review because i just ordered these😃 I’ve had my 2nd gens for 3 1/2 years and the right speaker blew today😢
