- I slept on the AirPods Pro 2, and I regret it big time. These 2nd gen airpods pro earbuds are incredible!

Went from Pro 1 to Pro 2. Bass is definitely more noticeable. Noise cancelling kinda noticeable but not hugely (for me, people have said otherwise). Adaptive Transparency is incredible to me. Outside sounds a crystal clear and at a good volume. Honestly, the bass and volume slider were more than enough for me to call them worth it. Love the tracking feature as well since they're always attached to my keys, so I can easily find my keys.
Upgraded from the original Airpods. Noise canceling is noticeably better and sound quality as well. I was actually genuinely surprised considering Apples reputation for minimal upgrades from generation to generation
They downgraded the Airpods Pro 1 ANC just before the release of the 2s.
@@Fozzee.1970 I noticed and not surprised
@@Fozzee.1970 It happened a bit after actually. Also the 2nd Gen were also effected. I have a 2nd Gen, it got slightly worse after it updated. They still work well, but not as well as they did a couple weeks ago
@@Fozzee.1970 they downgraded the ANC in Airpods max and 1st gen pros cuz apple got sued by patent trolls. iphone 14 and 13 also hace worse noise reduction on calls due to the same lawsuit
@@TheCompyshop 2nd gen pros (the new ones in this video) also got a slight reduction on their ANC due to the same lawsuit
Compared to my Beats Fit Pro earbuds, the Airpods Pro 2 are much better for ANC and transparency. While the Fit Pro earbuds have more bass, the Airpods Pro 2 earbuds handle bass just fine but are better overall. The Fit Pro earbuds are great for active workouts but don't have premium feel and the case quality needs to improve.
Yeah I got the Fit Pros the other day and was really disappointed by the case. Sent them back as the fin was hurting my ears.
Note: As of this writing, the new AirPods Pro are on a Black Friday sale at many physical and online stores. Based on your recommendation, I went and picked up a set. I’ve had original AirPods Pro for half a year, and I repeatedly switched back and forth as a test. My impressions match yours exactly: The old ones weren’t bad at all, but the new ones are significantly better, with even more detailed sound, much better bass, and noise canceling that noticeably cancels more noise. I wore one in one ear while shopping at a busy supermarket today, and (1) the person I was talking to on the phone sounded super clear, (2) they heard me perfectly well but couldn’t hear the store’s background music even when I was standing directly under a speaker that sounded pretty loud to me, and (3) after the call was over, I literally forgot I had it in my ear because Transparency Mode is that good. These are amazing.
Thanks for the review, very useful. But one thing people are not talking about is sound leakage… Do you find that the second generation leaks more sound than the first? This is quite an important aspect.
I personally thought the music sound was far better with the pro 2’s. Bass was definitely more noticeable. Air pod pros have virtually no bass.
Of course they have bass.
@@Norbitek25 yes, but not alot. Certainly no sub bass
I agree that the 1st gen airpods have subpar bass from an audiophile perspective, but saying they have virtually no bass is a huge understatement
@@NourIsmaieel coming from a pair of 3 year old bose sports free, they sounded like they had no bass to me.
I wasn't going to get these at first ( I have the first gen) but I'm glad I did. The battery life is a lot better (went on a few flights and they held up), the sound is better (not by much but it's noticable), and the noise cancelling is outstanding.
Son, me team said these shake YOUS out.
Really great down to earth review. Thanks 😊
This is a perfect example of why it’s better to wait longer for upgrades, but at the same time, I don’t really have a problem with that either, cause there’s always people with much older devices looking for an upgrade!
When do you think is the best time to buy some? They are on sale right now but Im wondering if they will be cheaper on Black Friday
Using them daily. The Pro 2s are AMAZING.
Just a quick non-related question. What is the lamp in the background? I really like the aesthetic and would like one for my own.
And the “whole experience “ how is it compared with pixel buds pro?😊 thanks!
Me personally Im so happy that they didn’t changed the design. I don’t like those bold earbuds like Bose or Sony. Yes they may have better sound quality, but The AirPods Pro’s are slim, minimalistic, ergonomic and I’m sure someday they will keep up with the sound quality with ease.
In a market where Active Noise Cancelation is such high demand, all major brands are offering it in some form. These version to version upgrades are essential and such a hallmark for the Apple brand. Still it's nice to see Apple at least put in the work to be relevant and give these version to version upgrades, Apple is so known for.
I upgraded as I accidentally put my gen 1 through the washing machine, they are not water 💦 proof 😢 and sound like I was holding seashells to my ears 👂. The gen 2 are far more superior in battery life, sound, and finally for finding when lost. Great video 👍🏼
These are best man, the noice cancellation is ridiculous and the new feature to increase/decrease the volume perfect. I love them and will be using them for long I guess
Just picked some up yesterday. Quiet, but powerful upgrade.
Hey I got a question when I turn on noise cancellation I can still hear kinda idk if like that for u to but idk ?
You convinced me. Jumped on the Amazon Black Friday Deal for $199. I have a set of Jenny 4.5TB AirPod Pro clones on the way already and want to compare the two with both performance and value.
Nice video!!! Could make a comparison between Sony WF-1000XM4 and this new Air pods Pro? It would be awesome
Question: I like loud music, and lots of brands claim to have good noise cancellation, but on a lot of these products the people around me can hear what I'm listening to even if I have noise cancelling on. I'm interested in how a third party person can hear.
💯agree. I also love the cutesy sounds the case makes when it‘s put on the charger🤩🤗
So the upgrade from 1gen is good ??
I love that its not been changed. Why to change what’s good 👍
I love mine, my first ever pair of AirPods actually first time using iOS since iPhone 4
I got mine today!! The noise cancellation is better than the 1st one!
Is it still that good ?
I was tempted by the Pro 2 only because my Pros were giving static noises. Luckily had them replaced under the recall program so I should be golden for another 2+ years now
It’s still possible to get them replaced that way? Have the same issue
@@Leafy_901 yes only if you bought your AirPods from 2020 I think, I have the same problem and mine wasn’t covered because I bought mine when they first came out so only ones that were made at a specific date are covered which I think is so bs
@@emil1654 I got mine fairly close to the release but not exactly sure when. I just went to a local apple authorised reseller and they checked mine for me. Got lucky I guess
I actually took mine to the Gorillaz concert in Miami 3 weeks ago.
Its crazy how much better the experience was because of that.
What do you mean the experience was better with them? The Gorillaz concert was better? I don’t understand
You must have a lot of earwax eh :) To my ears, the overall sound has better clarity and dynamics with improved bass and sub bass presentation. Refined and appreciated when coupled with ANC improvement.
I have a problem with pro 2. Charging case is always in connected to iphone when the both buds are inside the charging case and lid is closed.. 😢😢😢
have you noticed any effect on the anc after the 5B58 firmware update?
They sound miiiiiiilees better in terms of sound quality to my ears.
is anyone facing the issue of battery drain from case even when you don’t use the airpods for 2-3 days?
the tshirt is cool? can you tell me which brand is it?
I don't get why everyone says that you have to pinch and swipe to change the volume? For me it works fine without needing to pinch the stalk and just sliding my finger over it
I’ve had my pros since December 2019 and they’ve been awesome and just ordered pro 2’s last night because of videos like this
Is it normal to have a white noise sound (kind of like a very faint raining sound) when using Anc and transparency mode?
The sound is much better than in the first gen.
After holding off for years, these are my first AirPods. Super happy with them.
Same! Always thought AirPods were a bit of a gimmick or just not quite good enough. My usual earphones broke last week and I figured I'd finally give AirPods a try given how many people I see with them these days. At first I wasn't that impressed, but after using them in more situations and listening to more types of audio I realised just how good they are.
The price of these is ridiculous in Sweden. I love AirPods Pro but I’m not paying $300. I got Sony WF-1000XM4 for $180 instead. Great earbuds but not quite as seamless.
I have the gen 1 pros and they have given me a lot of problems despite getting it replaced 4 times.
Since pros 2 launched I have been thinking of getting those (but don’t want to waste time getting them replaced now and then in case they turn out to be like pro 1).
I am also considering Sony WF-1000MX4 as they have much better ANC along with a better sound quality.
Can you please suggest which one should I get, I am really confused with either and I also live in the “Apple echo system (kind of)”.
Your suggestions will much appreciated. Thank you 😊
do not get Sony WF-1000MX4, I have them and so many issues already after a year- battery so dead, one side loader than the other, wooshing sounds, so bad
Thanks Mark 👍 Nice job. Just bought some of these and haven't had a chance to try them yet. I did have some AirPods Pros 1st Gen but they quit on me afer using them very little over 15 months. Outside the warranty. I did add AppleCare+ this time to cover that.
I have just one issue with this buds, its Dolby Atmos sound quality. its sounding muffled horrible when the feature is ON. when i turned it OFF all good, i have also another music streaming platform youtube music. surprisingly songs are sounding much better there with even low compressor bitrate :) are you guys having same issue when you listen an album supported dolby atmos? thanks
I'm still using my Galaxy Buds Pro (old I know) with my 14 pro and they still sound great. Maybe I'll upgrade next year
Upgraded from 1st to 2nd. But not because they are so much better, just in terms of battery usage over time, with the amount I sold 1st gen, was fine for me. But sound wise, different signature, yes. ANC and transparency, yes a bit better. But for someone buying the first pair of airpods, if you get the 1st gen at a discounted price, I don't think these are worth maybe a difference in price more than 30%
I dropped my airpods in the toilet and purchased the second gen w/o noticing but I very much love the new airpods 🥰
Huh thats strange I never really thought people still heard things with noise cancellation mode on my gen1 I hear litteraly nothing maybe I just have the right size ear for them but when Im bumping music I can walk thru a construction site and not pick up any sound
went from regular AirPods 1st gen to these and the difference is like night and day
I will get these tomorrow. 😁
does anyone have not fitting in your ears problems? if so how do you or did you fix ur issue please? i am using large tips but it keeps falling out & there’s no x-large 🙄 $400 and it keeps falling out and doesn’t fit properly 😨😑
No design change is a pretty big minus. Because you can’t show off that you have the newer gen AirPods Pro.
Amazing advice
Great Video as always, Mark. Sorry to hijack the conversation- When is your Apple Watch Ultra review coming?
They are the best! I game exclusively on mobile platforms. The best is iPad and the best headphones for gaming on Apple devices are these by far. Gen 1 held it down strong but can’t stand up to these. I’m getting another pair!
Interesting view about the sound quality not being much changed. I wouldn't call myself an audiophile, music fanatic, yes, but the v2 sound much, much better to me than the v1, particularly in the much better modulated sub-bass freqs, but actually throughout. Actual audiophiles like John Darko and The Headphone Show are also saying that.
Came here to say exactly this. I'm a lost cause when it comes to fidelity, I struggle to hear a difference between lossless audio and Spotifys 320kbps. But the AirPods Pro 2s blew my mindhole when I listened to them for the first time, coming from the Pro 1s.
Glad to hear it! I'm definitely not an expert on audio quality, the individual features like ANC and transparency mode are more important to me than overall sound quality. I'd go with their opinions over mine! :)
My big question is how is the mic quality is. Absolute atrocious on the AirPods Pro 1.
@@robertgarvansnyder4665 Therr are mic tests that I’ve seen, and the microphone is definitely a big improvement on the AirPods Pro 2. The voice is a lot clearer and more pronounced.
@@matslithvall4512 Being unable to hear the difference between lossless and 320kbps is in no way showing your lack of hearing capability. The difference is basically unnoticeable to everyone. Enjoy your music, don't look down on your hearing, my friend
I am confused between Airpods Pro and 3rd generation. What shall I choose ?
Heard that 3rd generation has more batter, but airpods have noise cancellation. Plz suggest.
Unless you spend most of your time at home noise cancellation can not be beaten .
And here I am happy with my JBL On Headphones. 😂 But I may look into some AirPods
Can anybody give advice regarding comparison between this and the Jabra 85t please
Hey I got a question when I turn on noise cancellation I can still hear kinda idk if like that for u to but idk ?
Switching between macbook and iphone is terrible. Apple watch connectivity is terrible too. Devices detect airpods too late, switching between devices is laggy. I hope they will fix it soon.
These will not protect your ears from potential damage. They counter the sounds with equal sound waves. I work in a loud environment where ppe is required and these are not rated to protect your hearing.
Son, the lanyard helps me keep me from leaving them at me mo mahz. Son, me team ties them off to me.
I bought a fake one some days ago and they look exactly same unless for the sound quality and volume control doesn’t work. I am impressed how fast people make replicas for this products 😅
where did you buy fake ones?
thats why you buy straight from apple
@@guacfiend Facebook marketplace, Used ...I am quite surprised how the replicas came out fast looking exactly the same. 🤣
I much prefer the bose qc2 over the airpod pro 2s. The fit and noise cancelling are much better to me on the bose
Me too , I gave away my airpods pro 2. Liked the Bose QC2 way better .
Wait for the USB-C-version next year.
Overly expensive in asia. Id get Soundpeats instead. Got an airpod 3 but the absence of anc got it less desirable. Never thought i need anc until i started going gym
Upgrading from soundcore life dot 3i to AirPods Pro 2
I just bought this hopefully I have the same opinion as you.
Mone started playing up not even 2 years after purchase. Extremely disappointed with Apple products right now. I paid nearly $400 for these.
i am currently using the airpods 3. i am considering buying the pro 2 for the noise cancelling. is it worth the upgrade?
If you have the money, yes definetly. If it would be any stretch at all, dont. your AirPods 3 are still great and you will enjoy them for a while (Or until you lose them lol).
Bought sony xm4 earbuds for 270 ish early this yr and they got ran over by a car only a month ago.. just pulled the trigger on these for 199.
I accidentally bought the air pods pro because they look the same, used them for 30 days and was unimpressed. Once i realized I got the wrong ones I ordered the air pods pro 2 and man they are night and day better. More comfortable, MUCH better sound, and the noise cancellation is probably the best I’ve ever seen in a ear bud.
Hey I got a question when I turn on noise cancellation I can still hear kinda idk if like that for u to but idk ?
a whole month thinking you had the 2’s😭 you was prolly going crazy lmaoo
@@jetster65 what ?
@@jetster65 I was, i was thinking, “man these are way worse then my 3 year old bose sportfree’s”. The 2’s are great though glad I got them.
How are they more comfortable? They’re the exact same thing aren’t they?
I need these
Almost 340 USD in india…, yeah i can get by with the sony wh1000xm5 which by the way comes at 350 USD( on sale ) in india, only if it was atleast 150 USD cheaper…
If I didn’t have apple products I’d still using either Bose or Sony. But with apple products, the connective and ease of use is just too good when using air pods, and with the pro 2’s they finally sound almost as good as Bose.
I bought some Monday and they won’t stay in my ear!!! I have 2 tips coming in.
- comply memory foam
- memory foam (with silicon outer layer)
Might switch to the beats for pro if that doesn’t work out because I mainly use them to workout and fit is the most important to me.
I’m coming from the Powerbeats Pro so the bigger Beats Fit Pro case and no wireless charging doesn’t affect me. Plus it has USB-C 😅
Get some ear hooks from Amazon. Such a game changer. My AirPods don’t budge even after running for an hour
What about the quality of the microphones in the mid/long term? My AirPods Pro 1 have a serious problem with the quality of the sound OTHER people hear when I’m calling them. Quality of speakers and noise reduction? Perfect. Quality of sound from the mics? Terrible. Not from when they are new; it starts after a month or so. Apparently it’s a systemic default: I changed my set twice whilst the were on Apple Care protection and all THREE of them (the original set and the two replacements) have had the same issue. Then I gave up and when I have to make calls I use wired air plugs. A hint of smile from some Geniuses at my Apple Store have implicitly confirmed to me that it is a recurring problem. How are the AirPods Pro 2 doing on this regard?
An audio engineer did a test on exactly this: and the mic on the second generation is definitely much much better. I have the AirPod pros 1 as well and have the exact same problem as you. Definitely check out some demos on CZcams :-)
Try oladance. The buds themselves have 16 continuous hours of play and the charging case needs charged once a week.
Do they have the same footprint and noise cancelling? Just asking
I have an itch on the top right inside of my B crack and I can’t itch it because I’m laying down on the couch watching this video
I just want the sounds the background sounds to be blocked for those I’m talking to
They just came out 😭
don’t just wear the AirPods raw at the concert lol. Have them under a beanie or hoodie for better concealment
Is it worth getting Pro 2's with an Android phone? I feel like most of the big features like transparency and noise cancellation are still there with an Android, and you're not missing a ton without an iPhone.
hell no, you lose so much if you don’t have an iphone. get the galaxy buds, idk the latest samsung buds are but get those because they are built for androids so you have those features
@@AsianPhuc just from what I've seen it looks like a lot is still there, like of course the new chip with better sound, noise cancelling, and transparency mode.
@@travhave might as well get the sony xm4's then
edit: misspelled xm4 as xd4
Pairing Airpods pro 2 with my s22ultra. Couldn't resist the top of the class transparency mode
Lmao look at u ☠️
How do they work with the S22 Ultra? Any connection drops? Do you need a separate app to pair them?
Thanks
The Apple Watch charger charges them quite fast
Listening to this on my new AirPods Pro 2. Upgraded from the very first AirPods after using them for 4 years and it’s such a big difference 😃
By being the same design it means that they are refining what they think is the perfect shape for earphones. That means they will continue to improve whilst also making the older generations..not look as old as they actually are. I'd be more sus if they keep changing the design
U need to upload videos more often . Your content is good but there is so much less content by u. Keep up brother
Is it just me, or these buds sound better than the Airpods Max?
It’s Just you
I know what you mean. In some ways they actually do.
Just concerned about the video's opening remarks because it seems to scream "change for the sake of change". Apple definitely had ear models to work on when designing the EarPods released back in 2012. They had to accommodate a set of multiple ear sizes by using a generic shape and earbud design. This later turned out to still be the same blueprint for the AirPods Pro (1st gen), but with perk of removable ear tips for fit customization. I definitely wouldn't want Apple to just change the AirPods Pro (2nd gen) design just to give them something to differentiate from the previous generation just for the sake of change.
Think of it how like the iPhone lineup used to retain their same design language during the 's' years, and not changing literally every single year just for the sake of it.
I have AirPods Pro and they have NO base whatsoever. Therefore they just don’t sound good enough to be even in the same league as, e.g the Sennheisers. Why is this not mentioned?
Am I the only who’s original pros are falling apart after 9 months? My right side stem doesn’t work and I can’t make calls with them.
Why do we carry so much value on tech in the differentiation of the design? Cars usually don't change for 4 years, why do we expect this to change?
Earlier? They just came out.
There's a major and immediately obvious improvement in sound quality. The old generation has no sub-bass, the new one hits you with it as soon as you start listening. I feel sorry for your ears.
IPX4 still? Meh, I’ll wait for the next gen.
I’m the same Mark the saaameeee ! 😢😅
They've nerfed the ANC to what it was a month ago
What’s anc ?
Hey I got a question when I turn on noise cancellation I can still hear kinda idk if like that for u to but idk ?
@@rigo8254 yes noise cancelling. As of the latest firmware update the noise cancelling has significantly been made worse. Now you can hear most things even feint sounds
@@ashl9389 oh yeah I thought I was trippin but u think it would go back to normal ?
ALSO THE PRO 2s are NOW $200
My 1st gen Airpods Pros died while watching this video.
I waited for USBC 🙂
You telling me Android earbuds have been ahead of Apple for usability in volume control?
Not all of them obviously, but many of them yeah!
