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.
To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. czcams.com/users/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.
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.

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.
For all the pros you mentioned with the airpods I felt the same. I'm not convinced to switch or upgrade since I literally just got mine like a couple weeks at most but if these had the active noise cancelling I might but since they don't I'm good with the pros.

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.
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.
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.
Linus might enjoy the Astrotec S70. Small case, decent sound, pretty good ANC, and cheap at 49 USD. Ear pieces are pretty comfy too. Touch controls are a bit fiddly, but work better than most at the price range. Could be a good budget alternative to these.
@@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.
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.
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
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.
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
Actually can't wait to get my hands on these - the ANC from my Pro's gives me such an awful headache and way too much pressure is added for my liking; to the point I literally can't ever use the ANC feature without getting sick. These are definitely on the list.
I only use the anc when I’m listening to music or watching videos or at least having sound playing cuz I can’t stand the pressure either when it’s just silence. Everytime I don’t have anything playing I just keep them on transparency mode
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 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
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
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 think this redesign was to create an incentive to buy, people will see this design and immediately compare to the pros and begin to consider the "upgrade" because of sales dropping off now that most people have a 1st gen pair they aren't too fussed about going to second gen
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.
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.
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
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
Apple Music has tracks that are mixed for Spatial Audio, as well as having Dolby Atmos on late model hardware. You can decide for yourself if you think mixing music for a wider sound stage is a gimmick or not, just like people who claimed listening to mono audio even after stereo came out was the “right” way to listen to music.
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“.
I have the AirPod pros and I work in a shop environment where the normal sound level is around 110db noice cancellation is great. Works just as well as the foam ear plugs without music playing. With music I can’t hear anything else going on in the shop.
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. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
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. 🤣
@@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.
I love my AirPods Pro, but I had terrible luck at first. The right earbud went out twice within 2 years of owning them. Luckily Apple did the right thing and I sent them in and got 2 brand new buds for free. These have been working great so far.
I don't like the rubber plugs many earphones have. I've always loved the Apple earphones shape how they just kinda of hook into place in your eat. I use an adroid phone but always opt for starnard apple earphones or air pods (I avoided the Pro) because they are so comfortable and fit so easy.
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
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)
@Linus, can we have YOU reviewing some good TW earbuds, especially for comfort (like which are the ones you don't mind wearing for hours / sleeping with even...)?
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.
On HP laptops not having drivers makes them good or if you get the drivers there are only mids without them there's a bit of lows mids and a lot of highs
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.
@@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
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
No matter what wireless buds I try (and buy), I always end up back to the Airpod Pros. Like you said they just FIT the best and the case is so pocket friendly. I've tried Sony, Samsung, even all of the Razer buds (Hammerhead Pro, regular ones, updated 2021 ones) and Airpod Pros are still the best.
I considered buying these, but honestly, the Pros were $174 on Amazon (yes the 3rd gen was $170, but with tax it would be closer to $180, and I paid $188 for my Pros) so the $10 difference personally worth it. The customizable fit and ANC are my motivations and I’m pretty excited for the Pros. Enjoyed my 2nd gen but the upgrades will be nice.
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??
“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.
But no MagSafe charge case ( yes I know the pro’s do have them but they’re a new model and are more expensive), much worse battery life, AirPods 3 have water resistant case and universal fit goes better for me than silicon tips
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.
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.
Linus you should try the Bose Sleepbuds if you use the Airpods Pros for sleeping. It's a great product. Still lacking a bit but overall it's really helpful
@@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 CZcams 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
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 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.
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
You can actually deactivate the Head Tracking in Spatial Audio within the accessibility settings.
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.
“Oh man that goes in real easy” - said in more people’s heads then they would ever admit
My man woke up today and decided to speak facts
Than
I just thought “that’s what she said”
It's great being able to hear everything around you, you don't need to take them out
Loved the editing on this video. Good job, Mark.
Linus might enjoy the Astrotec S70. Small case, decent sound, pretty good ANC, and cheap at 49 USD. Ear pieces are pretty comfy too. Touch controls are a bit fiddly, but work better than most at the price range. Could be a good budget alternative to these.
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
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?
Love mine, My desk faces a wall at work so when I listen to music I need to be able to hear around me so they are perfect!!
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.
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
I'm curious as to why you spent the whole time comparing them to the Pros and not the model. The one they're actually replacing.
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”
@@justsaying993 Yep, here the Pros and the 3rd gen have roughly the same price when the pros go on sale (Pros - 209 Euros, 3rd gen 196 Euros)
@@Nam3Iess Exactly, the pros are so much more worth it, especially for me because the normal airpods just don't fit my giant ears.
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.
@@miguelg443 yeah I totally understand your point. Are you speaking from experience, by the way? You got the 3rd gens?
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
Actually can't wait to get my hands on these - the ANC from my Pro's gives me such an awful headache and way too much pressure is added for my liking; to the point I literally can't ever use the ANC feature without getting sick. These are definitely on the list.
I only use the anc when I’m listening to music or watching videos or at least having sound playing cuz I can’t stand the pressure either when it’s just silence. Everytime I don’t have anything playing I just keep them on transparency mode
Is it just me or did they do an absolutely amazing job on this video?
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 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
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
Gotta love the boosted volume on Linus saying "that goes in real easy"
Hey Linus can you make a video about sleeping designed airbuds like the Bose sleepcomfort compared to AirPods or other airbuds
czcams.com/video/OfYo2qQtwMs/video.html
This is a good video about the sleep buds
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 think this redesign was to create an incentive to buy, people will see this design and immediately compare to the pros and begin to consider the "upgrade" because of sales dropping off now that most people have a 1st gen pair they aren't too fussed about going to second gen
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
I've had my AirPods 3 for a day or two now, really like them so far
Apple Music has tracks that are mixed for Spatial Audio, as well as having Dolby Atmos on late model hardware. You can decide for yourself if you think mixing music for a wider sound stage is a gimmick or not, just like people who claimed listening to mono audio even after stereo came out was the “right” way to listen to music.
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“.
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 have the AirPod pros and I work in a shop environment where the normal sound level is around 110db noice cancellation is great. Works just as well as the foam ear plugs without music playing. With music I can’t hear anything else going on in the shop.
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. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
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 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.
I love my AirPods Pro, but I had terrible luck at first. The right earbud went out twice within 2 years of owning them. Luckily Apple did the right thing and I sent them in and got 2 brand new buds for free. These have been working great so far.
I don't like the rubber plugs many earphones have. I've always loved the Apple earphones shape how they just kinda of hook into place in your eat. I use an adroid phone but always opt for starnard apple earphones or air pods (I avoided the Pro) because they are so comfortable and fit so easy.
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
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
Watching while having my launch, so mostly listening and when i glance at the screen I have no idea which is the new and which is the old :D
@Linus, can we have YOU reviewing some good TW earbuds, especially for comfort (like which are the ones you don't mind wearing for hours / sleeping with even...)?
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.
Could you imagine Linus doing hot ones? 😂
OH MY GOD I NEED TO SEE THIS
Make this happen!
The world needs this
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.
On HP laptops not having drivers makes them good or if you get the drivers there are only mids without them there's a bit of lows mids and a lot of highs
Dbrand really knows how to spice up their sponsor ads!
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...
What is the BGM during the beginning?! It's so good
I got these on release, using them right now
I love DBrand's trolling of Linus. 😆
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
Thoughts on the pressure valve not being on the AirPods 3?
Head tracked is great on videos. Adaptive EQ is also on Airpod Pros when noise canceling and transparency is off.
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
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.
Linus, if you open the control center and long press the volume, it’ll have the spatial audio stuff already there. No need to go into the settings
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
No matter what wireless buds I try (and buy), I always end up back to the Airpod Pros. Like you said they just FIT the best and the case is so pocket friendly. I've tried Sony, Samsung, even all of the Razer buds (Hammerhead Pro, regular ones, updated 2021 ones) and Airpod Pros are still the best.
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 considered buying these, but honestly, the Pros were $174 on Amazon (yes the 3rd gen was $170, but with tax it would be closer to $180, and I paid $188 for my Pros) so the $10 difference personally worth it. The customizable fit and ANC are my motivations and I’m pretty excited for the Pros. Enjoyed my 2nd gen but the upgrades will be nice.
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??
“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.
“Complain to your rep boss, oh wait…he don’t care”
Got me in stitches
quick question, that case has magsafe which means that I can charge them from my Iph 12, right?
you guys should have done the mic test on discord for better audio quality. keep up the good work 👍
Airpods pro are $20 more and you get, noise canceling and ear tips
In some countries they are actually cheaper with sales which is very odd
But no MagSafe charge case ( yes I know the pro’s do have them but they’re a new model and are more expensive), much worse battery life, AirPods 3 have water resistant case and universal fit goes better for me than silicon tips
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.
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.
Linus you should try the Bose Sleepbuds if you use the Airpods Pros for sleeping. It's a great product. Still lacking a bit but overall it's really helpful
"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 CZcams 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
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
Could you guys review the motif anc wireless earbuds from Marshall?
That's all very nice, but when is DBrand finally going to release a new skin for the LTT water bottle?
