I’ve owned multiple pairs of AirPods over the years—standard, Pro, and even the Max version. Up until now, my favorite had always been the first-generation AirPods Pro. But after debating whether or not to get the second-generation AirPods Pro, I finally took the plunge, and I’m glad I did. Here’s what I’ve noticed after using them.The biggest improvement I noticed right away was the noise cancellation. I spend a lot of time in loud environments, whether it’s in a workshop or just crowded spaces, and the V2’s ANC works much better at filtering out background noise. There’s also this new feature where it seems to adjust based on voices around you, something that wasn’t in the first version. It’s made a noticeable difference when I need to focus or block out distractions.In terms of sound, I wouldn’t say it’s a night-and-day difference, but the bass feels more punchy in this new version. The sound is crisper overall, but unless you’re really paying attention, the upgrade might seem subtle.One of the best things about the AirPods Pro (V2) is the improvement in battery life. I’m getting almost double the usage time compared to the first-gen. Plus, Apple finally switched to USB-C charging, which feels long overdue. The wireless charging has also been more reliable—no more overheating or endless charging cycles like I had with the older model.Something I always look for in Apple products is quality, and I’m happy to report that it’s still there. These AirPods feel sturdy, and they work flawlessly with my other Apple devices. Pairing them is almost instant, and the upgraded FindMy feature has been a lifesaver. The fact that the charging case can now make a noise when lost is incredibly useful—something the previous model didn’t offer, which was a frustrating limitation.AppleCare+ remains as good as ever, and I continue to recommend it for all Apple products. This time around, they’ve made it simpler by offering an option to bundle it directly with the purchase, so you don’t have to activate it later on. It saves you the hassle, and it ensures that you’re covered from day one.For me, the most crucial factor is how much I use these. I wear my AirPods a lot—whether I’m listening to music or just using them for noise cancellation during daily tasks. If you’re like me and have these in your ears for hours on end, the V2 is absolutely worth the upgrade. But if you’re not using them constantly, you might want to hold off for the next version that’s likely coming soon.In conclusion, while the second-generation AirPods Pro might not be a massive leap in sound quality for the average listener, the combination of better noise cancellation, battery life, and new features make it a solid upgrade. For regular users like me, it’s definitely worth the investment, but casual users might be just fine sticking with their current pair.

First, please comment if you have any questions and I would love to respond to help!I had the AirPods Pro Gen1 prior to these, but the new AirPods blew them out of the water. The added ear tips make customability even better especially for small ears like mine.The Active Noise Cancellation is clearly superior to the first generation and the addition of Adaptive audio is super cool and very useful.The battery is even better than I was expecting. The AirPods charge super fast in the case, and the case charging itself is also super fast. The USB-C cord is a very nice addition especially with the new, more common, USB-C charging block. The new Apple Braided USB-C cord is also a small but nice touch.I personally do not use the ring on the side, but I imagine many people may find it useful. The addition of the Find My capabilities with both the case and the AirPods themselves is beyond helpful because I always seem to misplace them. Small bonus, every time you charge the case or the AirPods, the case sounds off a little chime to let you know that they are charging or if the battery is low.As an owner of the AirPods Max and a former owner of the AirPods Pro gen 1, I would 100% recommend this new generation. The noise cancellation is superior to the gen 1, but slightly behind the Maxes because they are in-ear instead of over-ear. If you want the maxes, I would get them, but it depends on your activities. The AirPods Pro are ideal because they are small, descrete, and light weight. You can slip them in your pocket or place just one in your ear. They are also very useful and comfortable to use while working out, as opposed to the maxes.The AirPods are quite durable too. If my first pair is any indication to this pair, then I promise you, they can take a beating. After 4 years of having the first gen AirPods Pro, I have thrown them around, dropped them hundreds of times and they often got small scratches, but only chipped once or twice after higher falls on super hard surfaces. But they worked every single time.Long story short, if you’re on the fence, get them. They are super great for travel, workouts/runs, house chores, and all activities in general.Hope you find this helpful, if you have any questions please comment them!

I’ll start by saying that I previously owned a pair of original AirPods for several years, and while they served me well, I felt it was time for an upgrade. Enter the AirPods Pro—an extraordinary improvement in every way. The first thing that struck me was the sound quality. It’s a massive leap from the original AirPods, offering rich, deep bass that adds a new dimension to my favorite tracks. The highs are beautifully crisp, bringing out details in music that I hadn’t noticed before.Another standout feature is the noise cancellation. Whether I’m on a noisy commute or in a crowded café, the AirPods Pro do an impressive job of muting the background noise, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the audio experience. The transparency mode is equally impressive, seamlessly letting in outside sounds when needed without having to remove the earbuds.The fit of the AirPods Pro is another significant upgrade. The customizable ear tips make them much more comfortable for extended wear, and they stay secure even during workouts. I never had that with the original AirPods, which would occasionally slip out.Battery life is solid, and the wireless charging case is a convenient bonus. The overall build quality feels premium, with a sleek design that continues the minimalist aesthetic Apple is known for.In short, the AirPods Pro have exceeded my expectations in every way. They’re a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their audio experience, whether you’re upgrading from the original AirPods or new to the Apple ecosystem. Highly recommended.

As an avid user of the original AirPods Pro, I was excited to upgrade to the 2nd generation model. The differences are immediately noticeable, with a richer, more immersive audio experience courtesy of the new H2 chip. The noise cancellation has been significantly improved, providing up to 2x better performance in blocking out ambient noise. This is a game-changer, especially when I’m using them during my bike rides or other active pursuits.One of the most practical upgrades is the ability to easily adjust the volume directly on the earbuds themselves. This simple yet effective addition has made a substantial difference in my daily use, allowing me to quickly fine-tune the audio without needing to reach for my connected device.Another feature I’ve come to appreciate is the speaker built into the charging case. As someone who tends to misplace things, this has been a lifesaver, making it much easier to locate my AirPods Pro when they inevitably get lost in my bag or around the house.The customizable fit remains a standout feature, with the included silicone tips allowing me to achieve a secure, comfortable seal that effectively blocks out external noise. The overall dust, sweat, and water resistance also provide peace of mind when using these earbuds in more active environments.While the price tag is still on the premium side, the 2nd generation AirPods Pro deliver a truly exceptional audio experience that justifies the investment. The combination of improved noise cancellation, volume controls, and the handy charging case speaker make this a worthy upgrade for anyone seeking the best-in-class true wireless earbuds.

I’ve owned all versions of airpods, normal, pro, max, etc. My favorite one for the longest time was the Airpod Pros “version 1”. This product is the Airpods Pro “version 2”. It took me a while to convince myself to buy these, but after testing both side-by-side I noticed a few very noticeable features.*ANC is improved. I can say this with certainty. I work hobbies that at times involve loud machinery and fellas yelling at each other. I can tell the difference in the ANC “level”. It simply works better than before and it has this additional thing that detects vocal conversations and adapts- the V1 pros didn’t have that.*Sound quality is minorly improved – I have pretty good ears, and the bass sounds a bit better with these. Unfortunately, that’s about all I can say about that.*Battery and compatibility vastly improved; USB-C Charging has been long overdue. The wireless charging works better than v1 too- v1 heats up quite a bit and seems to charge endlessly using the official wireless apple charger. V2 doesn’t have that issue. The batteries in the case and pods are nearly 2x better from what I am seeing so far.*Quality hasn’t declined; This one is important to me. I buy apple products mainly because of their build quality and how well they operate with each other. These pair nearly effortlessly with the iPhone, and the FindMy function has VASTLY improved; Making the case able to produce a sound to locate with has been a game changer. Previously with the older Airpod Pros, if you lost them while in the case, you couldn’t locate them with the find-my app because they had no way to produce a noise whilst in the case. I am so glad they improved upon this quality aspect and the Airpod’s quality continues to rise without noticeable compromises.*AppleCare+: Nothing has really changed about this and that’s a good thing. AppleCare+ works well, and I recommend it. I use it on all of my apple devices. I was happy to see that they made it even easier than before to get AppleCare+ bundled with the actual purchase of the airpods. Before, you had to manually activate it and that was a bit inconvienent. Plus people would forget they had AppleCare and leave their device unprotected because they didn’t activate it. Glad to hear they addressed all that as well.*Lasting technology: My final point is most important to me. I could ramble on and on about this part but long story short- I use these ALL the time, and I’m not joking- around 60-75% of the time I have these in, even without music playing. If you’re the type of person who uses these a lot, then going from V1 to V2 is a no-brainer. But if you do NOT use them constantly like I do, don’t worry! That’s probably good for you and if you’re not tethered to them like I am, then you should probably wait for the newer “v3” ones that are coming out sometime next year.The Airpod Pro’s v2 might not be an impressive upgrade for audiophiles, but for almost everyone else the extra bells & whistles make up for the marginally improved sound quality and make it worth the extra cost.

Okay so I’m an Apple mark. All Apple all the time, the way everything works together just makes the part of my brain that demands product harmony feel good. But I have never been an earbuds guy. I’ve been a regular AirPods guy, specifically not the Pros.I didn’t like things sticking in my ear, I’d never found one that works. And stupidly, my stupid reason for trying these is because of the USB C/Magsafe charging case because I’m trying to phase out my Lightning-charging devices. Guys I am unwell, okay? But stick with me a moment here. I also liked that the case is trackable in Find My along with the pods themselves, I’ve become a big Find My guy recently so that tickles my fancy.So anyway I bought a pair of 3rd gen AirPods and they’re very good but largely the same as my old 2nds. So I figured hey, I’ll try the Pro 2s and worst case I return them.I will not be returning them.Popped em in, did the setup, and some of this is because I’ve never had good noise cancelling headphones but I was sitting 7 feet from my furnace earlier and could not hear the fan. Popped one out, hella loud fan. Back in, silence. Witchcraft, sorcery.Sound quality is fabulous, I’m listening to Mint Jams by Casiopea right now because of that Reddit meme about the guy buying a record from Japan and it sounds so great. Holy Diver by Dio kicks ass, Kickstart My Heart puts your head right in Tommy Lee’s…drum kit. You could tell me they’re not audiophile quality or whatever and I’m sure you’re right but songs I’ve heard 1000 times sound like so much more wearing these.It also comes with four different size eartips, and what I’ve discovered about myself is my problem has been with the size of them. Medium didn’t feel like they were in all the way. Small was a little better, went down to extra small and I can finally wear in-ear earbuds. Ordered two replacement sets because I can see where white eartips might get gross quickly.So anyway, buy these AirPods. Connection is seamless with your Apple devices. They work great, they look good if you like AirPods. I find them very comfortable, battery life is probably fine but I haven’t gotten that far yet. Apple ropes me successfully into another part of their ecosystem, c’est la vie.

I think these are the best headphones for how versatile they are. It doesn’t have the best quality, they aren’t the loudest, the microphone is good but could be better. Now that that all is out the way, these are my favorite headphones for how they do so Many different things correctly. They are simply the most convenient set of headphones on the market. They have the best quality for any headphones their size that are carried in the pocket. The battery life is insane, they are super portable. they are stable, They never fall out of my ear like other people claim. I love the fact that you can control your music through the touch sensors on the actual headphones. The noise cancellation is mind blowing. How quick they switch from phone speaker to headset mode is very fast. They have deep bass that headphones This size should not even have. They charge super fast when they actually do die. (If that ever happens) I will always love these

I travel for a living, and mostly use my device for listening to audiobooks and music. I had been gifted, by my brother, a pair of Studio Beats which I liked, but got mixed reviews from others when taking phone calls. In fact, my brother was the harshest critic, so when he suggested these Airpods Pro 2 were on sale, I placed an order.My expectations were low. The only earbuds that stay in my ears are the neckband style and the corded tapered Apple style that used to come with iPhones. Because I am often (even mostly) in loud industrial environments, a lack of volume is another frequent problem for me.But, not to worry!I was reading about the features and controls as I opened the package and got them in my ears, when my iPhone connected to them, and immediately began playing my music. It happened to be Stevie Ray Vaughan playing *The House is Rockin’* and I was overwhelmed. The volume was excellent, as was the sound. Second greatest fear of disappointment obliterated. Now excited, I, none the less, had to let Stevie Ray finish Rockin’, because, well, it was Stevie Ray.Making no adjustment to the fitted earpiece, the AirPods have not fallen out once– something my Beats could not have managed to do for so long a time and with such activity. I have had them about 24 hours and with moderate-to-heavy use. Simply walking would cause my beats to fall out, no matter what fitting I used.Moments ago, I completed the main test with a phone call with my Hi-Fi critic brother. Yesterday on the phone, wearing my Studio Beats, I went down carpeted stairs which only creaked softly, but he commented on the loud banging sound he was hearing– like doors slamming. Today, with my AirPods Pro 2, I walked about on the hardwood floors, microwaved my coffee in the kitchen, and went back to my bedroom, and then asked him about what background noise he has heard. “I haven’t heard anything. Try moving around some.”When I told him I had been, we were both very pleased. That was the final test.These are the best BlueTooth audio devices I have ever had– and I have paid more than this for some very good ones.The noise cancelling is stunning– almost eerie. I am not used to being in such a quiet environment. Just switched from “Adaptive” mode to “Noise Cancellation” as a big truck went by. Sound went to zero. My air conditioning and street noise (I live downtown) utterly go away by switching from “Transparency” to “Noise Cancellation.”A cool feature I had to turn OFF is “Conversation Awareness,” although I will probably want to make some use of it. The problem is, when I listen to music, I often sing along, and doing so with that feature enabled, quiets the music. My AirPods are not the first to complain about my singing, but perhaps the most subtle in doing so. I don’t really blame them.Everything else is at default settings, and I am most pleased with these.Small thing, but useful to me: The case is designed for adding a wrist or neck strap. I’m buying it a nice neck-strap. I want these with me.

Hands down, the best wireless ear buds I’ve ever seen. There are no downsides, and every feature works perfectly..Features? There’s a lot! The sound / noise cancelation works better than any other headphone or ear bud I’ve ever tried. Want to know what it’s like to be deaf? Turn it on. Just don’t forget it’s on, you’ll hear nothing! Touch controls are useful to control your content, take calls, or stop/start movies without touching the device. Best feature, transparency mode! Not only is this frequency response adjustable (EQ), and amplification controllable, but can also be used as a hearing aid!.. Yes, it’s true, as I’ve used this and it actually works better than $8000 hearing aids (in every possible way). Another cool feature is you can charge the case on a wireless charging pad, like mag safe. Just throw it on the charger, and in about an hour, you’re case and AirPods (if they’re in the case) are charged. They also work with any bluetooth sound. Just press the button on the side of the case to pair, and it won’t interfere when you go back to your phone or iPad, connects right away again.The Bluetooth connectivity is second to none! Bring it near the iPhone, and it instantly connects, then need to switch to iPad, connects to that again. The range is very good too. For me, it works through out the house. This beats carrying your cell phone around to not miss a text or call. Text come is, and Siri will announce it to you.Battery life is very good, nearly 6 hours and they recharge fast.Comfort is good, the buds are lightweight too. They do tend to fall out of my ears, but that’s my problem, not a fault of the device.Sound quality is excellent. Although disclaimer, I have some hearing loss, so hard to judge this. I used to be a professional sound engineer, and from what hearing I have left, I can tell you they Apple nailed it! Some advice: don’t become a sound engineer if you wish to have normal hearing after age 35.Design and form factor. Again, second to none. Seems like everyone copied Apple on design, but Apple keeps leading. The case is beautiful and elegant. The magnetic closure holds the lid down, and holds the buds in the case sockets. Has one USB C port on the bottom for easy connections. Also has a lanyard loop (which I think is the Bluetooth antenna too). The rubber ear pieces are easy to remove and a great design.Function, no bugs I can find, and if there are any I find them! No software upgrades needed.Like I said, these are the GOAT. If you have an iPhone or iPad, or Mac, these are a must have product. If you need noise cancelation, take calls in noisy areas, these are the ones too. Highly recommended.

I bought two pairs of these and honestly, I was expecting them to be good. I own other Apple products and I knew that Apple made quality products. Usually when you expect something to be good, you are quickly disappointed. But these things have blown my mind. The sound is incredible. They work seamlessly with your life. They pair seamlessly with your phone. The way they lower the volume and amplify voices if I begin to speak is amazing. I feel like I could wear these all day and my life wouldn’t be interrupted at all. If anything, I’d hear people more clearly when they speak to me. I read that the next software update might add the ability make these actual OTC hearing aids. That alone makes these an unbelievable value. I have never owned earbuds that sounded this good and had so many other features and uses. The noise cancellation makes me feel like I’ve been sucked into the vacuum of outer space and the tech/additional features make me feel like Marty McFly. I just rejected a call by shaking my head! And these are great for workouts. These are the first earbuds that have cancelled out the obnoxiously loud gym music and allowed me to hear what I’m listening to and not some kind of hellish remix of two off beat songs. I’m even able to listen to and clearly understand podcasts while working out. I never got that hoverboard that I dreamed of when I was a kid but Apple reminds me that I do in fact, live in the future. Very impressed!

Glad to hear they addressed all that as well.*Lasting technology: My final point is most important to me. I could ramble on and on about this part but long story short- I use these ALL the time, and I’m not joking- around 60-75% of the time I have these in, even without music playing. If you’re the type of person who uses these a lot, then going from V1 to V2 is a no-brainer. But if you do NOT use them constantly like I do, don’t worry! That’s probably good for you and if you’re not tethered to them like I am, then you should probably wait for the newer “v3” ones that are coming out sometime next year.The Airpod Pro’s v2 might not be an impressive upgrade for audiophiles, but for almost everyone else the extra bells & whistles make up for the marginally improved sound quality and make it worth the extra cost.

Okay so I’m an Apple mark. All Apple all the time, the way everything works together just makes the part of my brain that demands product harmony feel good. But I have never been an earbuds guy. I’ve been a regular AirPods guy, specifically not the Pros.I didn’t like things sticking in my ear, I’d never found one that works. And stupidly, my stupid reason for trying these is because of the USB C/Magsafe charging case because I’m trying to phase out my Lightning-charging devices. Guys I am unwell, okay? But stick with me a moment here. I also liked that the case is trackable in Find My along with the pods themselves, I’ve become a big Find My guy recently so that tickles my fancy.So anyway I bought a pair of 3rd gen AirPods and they’re very good but largely the same as my old 2nds. So I figured hey, I’ll try the Pro 2s and worst case I return them.I will not be returning them.Popped em in, did the setup, and some of this is because I’ve never had good noise cancelling headphones but I was sitting 7 feet from my furnace earlier and could not hear the fan. Popped one out, hella loud fan. Back in, silence. Witchcraft, sorcery.Sound quality is fabulous, I’m listening to Mint Jams by Casiopea right now because of that Reddit meme about the guy buying a record from Japan and it sounds so great. Holy Diver by Dio kicks ass, Kickstart My Heart puts your head right in Tommy Lee’s…drum kit. You could tell me they’re not audiophile quality or whatever and I’m sure you’re right but songs I’ve heard 1000 times sound like so much more wearing these.It also comes with four different size eartips, and what I’ve discovered about myself is my problem has been with the size of them. Medium didn’t feel like they were in all the way. Small was a little better, went down to extra small and I can finally wear in-ear earbuds. Ordered two replacement sets because I can see where white eartips might get gross quickly.So anyway, buy these AirPods. Connection is seamless with your Apple devices. They work great, they look good if you like AirPods. I find them very comfortable, battery life is probably fine but I haven’t gotten that far yet. Apple ropes me successfully into another part of their ecosystem, c’est la vie.

I think these are the best headphones for how versatile they are. It doesn’t have the best quality, they aren’t the loudest, the microphone is good but could be better. Now that that all is out the way, these are my favorite headphones for how they do so Many different things correctly. They are simply the most convenient set of headphones on the market. They have the best quality for any headphones their size that are carried in the pocket. The battery life is insane, they are super portable. they are stable, They never fall out of my ear like other people claim. I love the fact that you can control your music through the touch sensors on the actual headphones. The noise cancellation is mind blowing. How quick they switch from phone speaker to headset mode is very fast. They have deep bass that headphones This size should not even have. They charge super fast when they actually do die. (If that ever happens) I will always love these

I travel for a living, and mostly use my device for listening to audiobooks and music. I had been gifted, by my brother, a pair of Studio Beats which I liked, but got mixed reviews from others when taking phone calls. In fact, my brother was the harshest critic, so when he suggested these Airpods Pro 2 were on sale, I placed an order.My expectations were low. The only earbuds that stay in my ears are the neckband style and the corded tapered Apple style that used to come with iPhones. Because I am often (even mostly) in loud industrial environments, a lack of volume is another frequent problem for me.But, not to worry!I was reading about the features and controls as I opened the package and got them in my ears, when my iPhone connected to them, and immediately began playing my music. It happened to be Stevie Ray Vaughan playing *The House is Rockin’* and I was overwhelmed. The volume was excellent, as was the sound. Second greatest fear of disappointment obliterated. Now excited, I, none the less, had to let Stevie Ray finish Rockin’, because, well, it was Stevie Ray.Making no adjustment to the fitted earpiece, the AirPods have not fallen out once– something my Beats could not have managed to do for so long a time and with such activity. I have had them about 24 hours and with moderate-to-heavy use. Simply walking would cause my beats to fall out, no matter what fitting I used.Moments ago, I completed the main test with a phone call with my Hi-Fi critic brother. Yesterday on the phone, wearing my Studio Beats, I went down carpeted stairs which only creaked softly, but he commented on the loud banging sound he was hearing– like doors slamming. Today, with my AirPods Pro 2, I walked about on the hardwood floors, microwaved my coffee in the kitchen, and went back to my bedroom, and then asked him about what background noise he has heard. “I haven’t heard anything. Try moving around some.”When I told him I had been, we were both very pleased. That was the final test.These are the best BlueTooth audio devices I have ever had– and I have paid more than this for some very good ones.The noise cancelling is stunning– almost eerie. I am not used to being in such a quiet environment. Just switched from “Adaptive” mode to “Noise Cancellation” as a big truck went by. Sound went to zero. My air conditioning and street noise (I live downtown) utterly go away by switching from “Transparency” to “Noise Cancellation.”A cool feature I had to turn OFF is “Conversation Awareness,” although I will probably want to make some use of it. The problem is, when I listen to music, I often sing along, and doing so with that feature enabled, quiets the music. My AirPods are not the first to complain about my singing, but perhaps the most subtle in doing so. I don’t really blame them.Everything else is at default settings, and I am most pleased with these.Small thing, but useful to me: The case is designed for adding a wrist or neck strap. I’m buying it a nice neck-strap. I want these with me.

Hands down, the best wireless ear buds I’ve ever seen. There are no downsides, and every feature works perfectly..Features? There’s a lot! The sound / noise cancelation works better than any other headphone or ear bud I’ve ever tried. Want to know what it’s like to be deaf? Turn it on. Just don’t forget it’s on, you’ll hear nothing! Touch controls are useful to control your content, take calls, or stop/start movies without touching the device. Best feature, transparency mode! Not only is this frequency response adjustable (EQ), and amplification controllable, but can also be used as a hearing aid!.. Yes, it’s true, as I’ve used this and it actually works better than $8000 hearing aids (in every possible way). Another cool feature is you can charge the case on a wireless charging pad, like mag safe. Just throw it on the charger, and in about an hour, you’re case and AirPods (if they’re in the case) are charged. They also work with any bluetooth sound. Just press the button on the side of the case to pair, and it won’t interfere when you go back to your phone or iPad, connects right away again.The Bluetooth connectivity is second to none! Bring it near the iPhone, and it instantly connects, then need to switch to iPad, connects to that again. The range is very good too. For me, it works through out the house. This beats carrying your cell phone around to not miss a text or call. Text come is, and Siri will announce it to you.Battery life is very good, nearly 6 hours and they recharge fast.Comfort is good, the buds are lightweight too. They do tend to fall out of my ears, but that’s my problem, not a fault of the device.Sound quality is excellent. Although disclaimer, I have some hearing loss, so hard to judge this. I used to be a professional sound engineer, and from what hearing I have left, I can tell you they Apple nailed it! Some advice: don’t become a sound engineer if you wish to have normal hearing after age 35.Design and form factor. Again, second to none. Seems like everyone copied Apple on design, but Apple keeps leading. The case is beautiful and elegant. The magnetic closure holds the lid down, and holds the buds in the case sockets. Has one USB C port on the bottom for easy connections. Also has a lanyard loop (which I think is the Bluetooth antenna too). The rubber ear pieces are easy to remove and a great design.Function, no bugs I can find, and if there are any I find them! No software upgrades needed.Like I said, these are the GOAT. If you have an iPhone or iPad, or Mac, these are a must have product. If you need noise cancelation, take calls in noisy areas, these are the ones too. Highly recommended.

I bought two pairs of these and honestly, I was expecting them to be good. I own other Apple products and I knew that Apple made quality products. Usually when you expect something to be good, you are quickly disappointed. But these things have blown my mind. The sound is incredible. They work seamlessly with your life. They pair seamlessly with your phone. The way they lower the volume and amplify voices if I begin to speak is amazing. I feel like I could wear these all day and my life wouldn’t be interrupted at all. If anything, I’d hear people more clearly when they speak to me. I read that the next software update might add the ability make these actual OTC hearing aids. That alone makes these an unbelievable value. I have never owned earbuds that sounded this good and had so many other features and uses. The noise cancellation makes me feel like I’ve been sucked into the vacuum of outer space and the tech/additional features make me feel like Marty McFly. I just rejected a call by shaking my head! And these are great for workouts. These are the first earbuds that have cancelled out the obnoxiously loud gym music and allowed me to hear what I’m listening to and not some kind of hellish remix of two off beat songs. I’m even able to listen to and clearly understand podcasts while working out. I never got that hoverboard that I dreamed of when I was a kid but Apple reminds me that I do in fact, live in the future. Very impressed!
