Hey everyone! Thanks for all the great comments. Should we compare these to something else? Or are they just so locked into the Apple ecosystem? Also: voice quality with the voice memo app recording is not as good as an actual phone call, but at least you get a feel for it. Thanks for watching and sharing!
do sound quality test between airpods pro 2 vs sony
Please compare them to the Sony xm4s!!!
Awesome review. Thanks Caleb.
How is the updated spatial audio?
compare to beats fit pro! like is the more secure fit worth the trade off in improvements in anc, transparency, and sound quality? 🤔
Thanks for the great review! Would love a comparison demo of call quality between APP1 vs APP2.
I just bought the new pair. I’ll go out to the street and give ya a call! 😂
I just realized you’re in Portland!🎉 So cool to see tech RUclipsrs in my area!
PDX represent!
🙏
@@Caleb_Denison represent what?
Oddly, my favorite feature of my AirPods Pro has been the case SIZE & SHAPE. I haven’t reviewed earbuds on my channel yet, but I tried several other high-end earbuds. The cases were so big or had sharp edges that made them unsightly or just impossible to keep in my jeans pocket. Apple smartly prioritized the case size and smoothness to make theirs the “keep them with you at all times” earbuds. I’m sure I’ll be upgrading soon! Thanks for the review.
Completely agree - the case is so much more important than I initially realized, and most other companies just don't get it right.
Agreed. However I must say I wish the AirPods Pro case was as small as the first gen AirPods, that was indeed tiny!
Facts. It's actually kind of shocking. Over the years pretty much all the competitors have caught up on features and fidelity, but no one thought to follow suit on the case size. I don't care if my case battery lasts 3 days if it feels ridiculous to fit in my pocket.
@@ellowell8160 "Caught up"? On what? Airppods only really been a market leader in branding/popularity, but never in features. Most earbuds have followed in form factor to the original wireless buds, & sound quality & noise cancellation tend to take priority over case size. It all comes down to preference. I prefer sound quality, so Sony XM4s are a better pick. I prefer function over form.
Way to make a point about the topic and still mention your channel in a way that's totally not going to a bigger channel to plug yours.
I got me these last week & I gotta say the overall audio/listening experience has been unprecedented. Great review!
Hey idk if it juss me but when I turn on noise cancellation it works but I feel like I can kinda hear outside
Thank you for the good description of the sound quality for audiophiles
great job as always Caleb, informative ,in depth and real. thank you for your time!
My Pro Gen 1 started to crackle on calls, and it was hard for people to hear me. I got the gen 2 Pros, and it’s enough of an improvement where I’m glad I upgraded. They sound clearer, bass is really tight, and noise canceling is incredible
Love your channel. I'm actually picking mine up today - I just hope they don't constantly fall out of my ears as i have tried other types before and that went south.
I've been watching all the reviews thus far as I'm really excited for this product, and this has been the best one so far. ❤
Thanks! Would love your feedback on why you enjoyed this review more than others. It helps us continue to make quality review videos going forward. Thanks in advance for any further feedback!
@@digitaltrends I second that request!
This was a killer review, and the best video review I've seen for the Airpods pro 2. Thanks for the abundant detail about your experience with them overall and your impressions of the sound quality. Also included were numerous details not heard anywhere else by me, like how Apple worked to reduced wind noise. Hope my local store has them as I walk ("run" lol) in now.

Great Review. I've had my Gen 1 AirPod Pros for 2 1/2 years now and can't wait to try the Gen 2s.

Thank you!!!! I loved this video because it answers all the questions I have had about the Apple Airpods Pro.
I was looking at some TV reviews the other day and saw your channel, this channel is starting to become one of my favorites go to channels for reviews.
I love this! Thanks, and subscribe if you’d like. I’ll keep ‘em coming!
Thanks for the great review! the airpods pro have been my go to daily work and play work horse for 2 years now. Best purchase I've made in a long time.
Question, if my current airpods Pro are still going strong should I upgrade or leave it for now?
Finally reviews are online!
Thank you!👍🏼 I will order mine now!
Love my Air Pods Pro. The new ones seem a step up, but my originals are excellent and don’t feel an upgrade is needed.
THANK YOU after watching 5 other AirPods Pro Reviews, you are the first one who shows Call-Sound-Quality! Best review!
Because of your in-depth video, I JUST picked up these beauties!! Keep up the great work, Caleb!
Thanks for the time you put into this review, helped me decide to buy them.
As a gen 1 owner, I’m very excited for gen 2. Another awesome review!
Excellent & in-depth review.
I'm thinking about just waiting for Apple to get rid of the stem to update from my AirPods Pro gen 1... I'm in love with the new features but I don't know if that's good enough for me to buy them.
I just hope they fixed the blown speaker/rattling problem. I’m on my 4th right, and second left
i got my gen 2s today and i’m using them right now 🥰 the sound is so clear and i love the different features. Transparency mode makes it so easy to listen to music while still hearing everything in the outside world and I love the spatialize stereo mode 🥰 it’s such a crisp sound experience. There’s so many other features but it’s definitely worth the money. These are my first pair of airpods
I have had these since day 1 and have lots of issues with them. 1 they snap crackle and pop from time to time .2. They constantly disconnect, i can be listening to music on my phone get a call, switch to the call and they disconnect from the phone and sometimes the reconnect sometimes i have to put them back in the case and then back to the ears. I can be on a call and they just disconnect and Harley have to go back to the case . I can be just wearing them while driving get a call answer the call by the watch,phone or AirPods and they disconnect. You call support and they say unpair and re pair them. Apple knows there is an issue but it seems to fall on deaf ears. When they work they do sound good. I have a friend who has these same problems. They also suffer from fall out as they fall out of my ears quite often. Good luck
Are the tips exactly the same so 3rd party tips for the OG AirPods Pro mount on the new gen 2?
Great review! Actually listened to this on the new AirPods Pro and agree 100%. 🙌🏻 First time watching your content and I was pretty distracted by your mic quality if I’m allowed some minor criticism. Sounds like you played around with your audio track in editing and it creates some weird noise. Probably need to listen on really good earbuds like these to notice though. 😉
Great video! Not sure if its just me, but does the voice over and audio in this video sound very tinny? On my laptop speakers and headphones the audio for the video is very tinny
Great video! Oddly enough, I've had two gen 1 AirPods Pros and both had noticeably worse ANC about 6-8 months in. Is that something that you've experienced as well with ANC earbuds in general?
I’m an all Apple user and have the AirPods Pro and AirPods gen 1 and 2 but still always grab the Samsung buds live love the fit the ANC and the sound quality. I don’t like tips in my ear but I like ANC so these are perfect also never have I ran out of battery on them. Plus the case has USBC and wireless charging.
Great review
And still no microphone mute option? I find it amazing that - with the number of calls and zoom meetings I use headphones for there is no way of muting the mic without a phone (not even a watch option). Am I missing something?
Getting these after using the 2nd Gen OG AirPods for years, can’t wait
Thank you so much, others mostly keep saying how expensive they are but the ANC is what I'm for as these will be my first wireless pods.
Great review! Very detailed, and focussed on the most critical performance factors. Thanks.
How are these in comparison to the AirPods 3rd gen? My 3rd gens have such low volume that I’m considering upgrading to the Pros 2.
I LOVE my gen 1 airpods pro. I bought mine black friday 2021 so I've had them about a year. They are still 100% perfect but what I wasnt expecting was that I would bring them EVERYWHERE with me. Even when I know I wont use them, I still bring em. The 2's came out and I ordered those. Plan on selling my gen 1s. Looking forward to the better battery life and noise cancelation.
Sound quality alone, are these good enough to champ my linkbuds S?? Not hopeful but curious what you might think
Great review. Wish you commented on the Spatial audio features for music and movies.

I'm very pleased I ordered mine today 🙌🏻
Hey - your reviews are fantastic, thank you for another great low down on these. Actually, I would say your reviews are so good you inspire me to make my own videos...
I listen to your review w/ my Gen 2 that’s arrived today! Sounded great and fantastic review!!

I will going to get mine tomorrow once they are released.
Appreciate you actually testing the battery. Also I 100% share your feelings with mufflers that do anything but muffle lol
Are they louder and do they have more Bass?
Love your vlog and professional review. Please do a comparison it with AirPods Pro 2.
Thanks for watching and commenting Send a direct message right away I got some special package for your giveaway ✅........
Is the fit at all different, and not just the ear cush pieces? The standard pods fit me perfectly but i felt the pros were too large and they rubbed a spot on my ear absolutely raw, i had to send them back, they were actually painful to wear. I was so bummed, they did sound great.
Thanks, so how does music sound quality compared to the new Bose earbuds? I would assume the Bose has a filler richer base and better sound quality overall, is that correct?Thanks.
I’ll be upgrading from the OG AirPods non pro first generation that came out in 2016 to these ones! The biggest leap yet and I can’t wait!
hi, I am using Sony MX 4 . are the new Apple air buds, better in sound quality?
I had ear cancel enlargement and lobe transplant to better use my airpods because they didn't have my size but now I feel accommodated.
Great review. Was waiting for you to mention the audio controls on the airpods themselves .. For me that's a major selling point.
Would like to see you compare these to the Bose QC II... I would imagine it would be a close comparison... Definitely a solid upgrade if you are an IOS user
The Bose fit and ANC are beyond comparison.
@@MrModerndaydrifter Apart from they literally haven't been compared, thats kind of the point.....
The extra 2 hours battery in each buds finally gave me the reason to buy it. I am currently using a cheap UGreen brand TWS and I love it to bits!
Same. I have been waiting for the new aipods pro for over a year and have been using some cheapo earphones. Can’t wait to inbox and start using these.
Have you also tried changing the DSP settings in the iPhone menu ? It made my AirPods Pro gen 1 sound way better, I’m curious what it will do with the gen 2
What exactly did you change? What settings did you tweak? As a fellow AirPods Pro Gen 1 owner, I’m intrigued…
i want to know
Please elaborate
Great review! tks
Perhaps you can compare their performance to Beats Fit Pro?
AirPods Pro 2 are amazing. I couldn’t resist myself and I tried them on as soon as I bought them. As soon as I put them in my ears, ANC turned on and I just stood there in shock. Listening to the entire world around you just disappear was one of those experiences I really will never forget. Of course you can always still hear some things, but it feels like you’re walking through a really quiet exhibit at a museum, when in reality you’re in a very loud shopping mall.
I had the original AirPods 1, so to have skipped all the way to these was such a huge improvement. There are very little experiences I’ve had with technology that blow me away. AirPods Pro 2 is one of them. My hats off to Apple for making a extremely good product.
Hey idk if it juss me but when I turn on noise cancellation it works but I feel like I can kinda hear outside
Just got mines yesterday. I will be testing them out today

Should I return my Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's for these?
So what about the wind noise reduction? You mentioned it was there but didn’t elaborate on the quality.
Great review! The camera quality is literally better than my vision lol
I’ve always had off brand ear buds from Amazon but there at an all time low right now so I think I’m getting one!
Hello! One question: is there any quality diffrence to connect airpods pro 2 to iphone 14 or iphone 13? Iphone 13 got bluethooth 5.0, and iphone 14 got bluethooth 5,3. as airpods 2 also have.
Good job! So many of the other reviews are mainly summarizing changes in specs and features. You spent time using these, reported on your findings, and actually tested battery life.
wait what? Where in this video was battery life mentioned?
@@JamesFuston 2:10
Thanks!
C, Thanks for a great review as always. My favorite all time earbuds are the Apple Pro 2’s ! I didn’t want to like them. I also have the apple pro max and those are better for really blocking out the noise but I don’t like over the ear headphones any more, so I hardly wear them. Will wear them even less now that I have the pro 2’s. The 1st gen are good but these are def better. Thanks again!
can you connect two devices at once?
Compare it to Samsung buds pro 2?
I would only buy them for the sliding volume control. But that doesn't justify replacing a perfectly good pair of Airpods Pro 1.
An absolute upgrade for sure!!!
Do they switch between an iPhone and pc(not Mac) automatically?
I wish multi device connectivity was available. Maybe in the next gen.
Aren‘t those supposed to have a volume control, also?
well actually there was a test that was done on the airpods for the noise cancellation and the decibals were about half of the the airpod pro first gen
What size ear tips do you use?
Mine should arrive tomorrow gonna be comparing it to gen 1 so i hope it meets my expectations

hey, where can i find the piece of furniture behind you??
If only they would stay in my ears better when I exercise. I’ve tried various attachments to hold them in. So far either the attachments actually help but are too big for the case or they just don’t really help.
I was waiting for over 2 years for the 2nd generation AirPods Pro & now I’m going to purchase them very soon!

My Girls have had all of the versions which seem to work great but they don't last which caused them to up grade to only find the same problem and are looking elsewhere for their next pair.
Me got the AirPods Pro 2 general & love them!

looking good caleb!
should i be able to hear myself snap my fingers when using noise cancelation on the airpod pros 2 because i can but it blocks out car noises completely
When I first used the Gen1 out of the box the noise cancellation was excellent. Throughout the firmware updates it has gotten a lot worse due to the requirement for battery life. I hope this doesn't happen to Gen2.
100% I even wrote Apple about this but they never gave a good explanation. When I first got the Gen 1's, the ANC was almost magic. It's not nearly as good now. Thanks for validating I'm not crazy.
Ohhh I thought I was going crazy too, it definitely got worse
I listen to this video with my new airpods and I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of these. I really love the feature of the volume controls. And the better noise canceling aspect. I had just bought the first gen a few months ago and really like them. But the newest version has a richness to all the things you spoke of👍
With My Damonlight Earhooks They Actually Stay In My Ears And Due To More Secure Fit The Sound Seems Better As A Bonus .
Thanks caleb
Incredible review!
I like the air pods bro But could not keep them in my ears if around town unlike the basic gen2 pods. So I’m hoping the new ear tips will be otherwise I’ll still be using Beats Pro….
I had the same problem with the air pods pro when I got them but I loved the sound quality so much I won’t go back to any other headphone brand when I got the gen 1 so what I did to keep them in my ears is buy from Amazon some fins and it worked perfectly with an awesome seal for noise cancellation. I say try it to save some money.
Recognized Pioneer Square in the background… shout out Portland!
Whenever I look at the air buds pro it always remind me of Uhura From Star Trek how cool I remember as a child she listened through that earpiece. Still waiting on the flying car and the cassette that you can just plug in and have a pastrami sandwich made!

No volume control notes?
How do the bass compare to the first generation? I was not impressed with the first ones because of that.
Thanks!
Awesome review as always!! Hope to pick these up soon.
Yep, he said it perfectly. These are the first earbuds that I literally take everywhere. I’m very annoyed with noise, so I use them mainly to cancel out noises. I remember I went on vacation and went to a club. I was so happy I had them. It cut the noise so much I enjoyed myself for once, and didn’t have a headache the next morning. I’m definitely looking into the newer model.
Hey idk if it juss me but when I turn on noise cancellation it works but I feel like I can kinda hear outside
@@rigo8254 Yeah, that’s normal. I don’t know if you did the seal test, but it’s in the IPod options, but your still hear noise outside, it’s just reduced. But the new ones that just came out are supposed to be almost 50% better.
@@rigo8254 Bust just to clarify, it’s almost like a suction on your ear, so if your hearing things outside, like normal volume, you probably need another ear tip.
@@Food4thought1234 ahh ok yah I hear like normal volume and I haven’t took out the ear tips still using the medium ones n I got the gen 2 idk if u do but I was curious cuz when I had em on no music I would still hear idk if u did to
Thanks
Never have I thought i need ANC in my life until i started goin the gym. Love my Airpod gen 3 but the only downside is they cannot blocked out noise
