Literally the best review of airpods pro 2nd gen and the comparison with wired HP microphone and phone speaker's mic was dope
Ty! Much appreciated. Only 1k views so I'm doing poorly
@@JSyntax bro dont watch the numbers to much😢
This is exactly the video I've been looking for. 1) I have tinnitus 2) I use Android and 3) I've had real trouble with that plugged up feeling you mentioned whenever I've tried earbuds with silicone tips in the past. Also, the part about cutlery noise - I can completely relate. I'm going to buy some now using your affiliate link (UK) 🙏🏻
Glad to hear the impact! Very generous comment, thanks! . Just note that the plugged up feeling will never fully go away, but this implementation is quite comfortable. If you enable transparency mode, it goes away if you plan on keeping the headphones in your ears for longer periods!
LOL these fake comments and fake likes... internet is doomed
What’s fake about my comment @delark?
Not only did you convince me to switch to these (fellow Android user) but you also convinced me to get a hearing test. My symptoms are much milder, but you describing your symptoms sounded like what I experience. Thank you for the video.
Let me know how it goes!
@@JSyntaxthey think I could have the beginning of tenitus but that it's nothing to worry about until the ringing becomes more frequent. As for the buds, they're great
I'm in the same boat :(... Messed up my ears with a new home theater system in an untreated room. In just a few months I started to get symptoms of tinnitus. I got a hearing test and it was "normal" but I'll be seeing an ENT in a few months for confirmation
This literally answered essentially all of my questions I had for the earbuds. Great Video!
Ty!
You just answered all my questions as a Windows & Android user, even up to the fake multipoint connection. I've also difficulties with my ears so I'm hoping these buds will have less pressure and more comfort. Exceptional review video, thanks.
Awesome awesome review. Insane level of detail! Love my airpod pros gen 1, and I think you've just convinced me to grab a set of gen 2!
Thank you so much! Maybe save your money, ap1 are still gr8
As a fellow Tinnitus sufferer I love love love my airpods pro 2 and airpods pro max. They have really changed things for me. Sometimes I wear them in transparence mode without any audio actually playing quite often ... and it still really does help, especially for the long term fatigue end of things because I think it's a much more controlled sound level even in transparence mode, definitely less sharp peaks and super quiet quiets. Also with the new H2 chip the loud sound pull downs on the airpods pro 2 even in transparence mode seems like another full layer of protection for those of us with sensitive ears. If you haven't tried them and you're between med and large ... try something like L in the Comply foam tips. I have a really hard time with the apple ends but those foam ones are magical for me at least.
Glad to see I'm not the only one using airpods as ear protection
This video is so underrated
Best for Android Users
Thank you ❤️
Thank you
How do you only have 20k subscribers with the quality of your videos keep up the great work
thank you! I hope I can grow this channel to 100k and I'll retire
I LOVE YOUR REVIEWS. Straightforward, friendly, with a smile, easy on the eyes ^^ and full of info.
Thank you so much! Undoubtedly the best review. Been looking for an review of airpods for Android. You helped me so much. I literally write comments once a year but today is the day
Have been using the Gen 1 Pro for a year and a half and this week bought the Gen 2 Pros for $199 USD and the ANC is a big improvement which was the reason I bought the Gen 1 so am pleased.
A long term review for these would be great. Also, i like how you explain everything, very easy to understand. earned a sub♥️
Thanks so much for the vid man! I'm getting mine delivered on Valentine's day already excited but you confirmed my excitement!
Hope you enjoy it!
Very interesting that as an Android user you like the AirPods Pro so much. I tried them but very oddly couldn’t get the volume swipes to work. I’ve chosen to go with the Sony wf-1000xmrs - EQ and LDAC playback. I think the ANC and Ambient Sound are very similar on both; same for sound quality. Comfort-wise, the AirPods certainly win out. Equal access to the earbud features on both iOS and Android with the Sonys is another attraction plus the Sony’s Speak to Chat feature and memorising were you go with your earbuds and whether you need ANC or Ambient Sound, etc.
There are about the same however usually airpods are cheaper
Best review ever for any iPhone accessory 🎧 usage from android device.🎉
Btw, you’re looking very good with those shots of your working out! Those pods are obviously working well for you!
Just got it as a gift. I'm thankful cuz I know how much it costs.
As an Android user these are the pros and cons to it.
Pros:
- NAC is pretty good and volume can be very high
-Phone calls are very high quality
- Very light on your ears with a good sound quality
- Good transparancy when you can listen to music and have conversation with people/listen to the environment.
Cons:
- the case charging only has C-Type to apple charger (No USB)
- No customizable audio with a android software (Very big minus from me) -
- just to connect to my last statement, I want "adjustable transparancy mode"( I want listen to my music, but when someone speaks to me I want the music to go down and have a conversation in between)
- if my transperancy is on and music volume is high, I can't hear my surrounding.
Thank you! Question, do you use the adaptive transparency to volume down the surroundings but still hear everything without disturbing you? Does it work for you or not enough attenuation? You can use wavelet or other eq apps to eq the sound of any buds or anything coming out from your phone and some Samsung phones even have built in EQ as well. May I ask why you don't use iPhone? ( I am an android user as well just interested) BTW when you compared the call quality between the pods and the phones mic I wish you put the phone approximately to the ears where the airpods mics were to even the game.
THANK YOU for being another person who uses the earbuds to help combat Tinnitus. I myself suffer from severe tinnitus being a nearly 40 year old fully disabled (in terms of my VA rating) combat veteran. I worked for 7 years directly next to running jets as a refueler during my Air Force days and next to helicopters and firearms in my time in the Army. After my medical discharge I went to school and became an automotive technician for General Motors and worked at 2 local stealerships as a technician. Needless to say my hearing suffered for it and I suffer with tinnitus so I wear my AirPod Pro 2’s ALL DAY LONG. In fact THE ONLY time I’m not wearing them is in the shower or when they’re charging, otherwise they’re in my ears ALL DAY!! In fact I am considering getting a second pair so I can have a pair in while the others are charging because it’s made that much of a difference in my life!! Great review sir!!
Great review. Is it possible to connect the buds to two non apple devices?
Thanks for your detailed insights!
Your welcome
See, I am currently using the most sport earbuds with my friend in Texas, works with installing home audio and he recommended that the Bluetooth wireless earbuds available all fall short of amazing standard of the Apple AirPods! I have not purchased the AirPods yet, but That is the next musical related purchases I will make. Thank you so much for your good solid video!
Very good review i hope you're channel grow
Very helpful review. Thank You!
Great review 👍
If you use all apple devices you don’t even need to hit the BT button. Just open the device you want and they will connect. Example on the phone then if I lock the phone and just open my laptop or ipad it will automatically switch to whatever device is playing audio at that time. Pretty cool stuff.
I wish I could switch to apple all! but I can't for many reasons
I agree with you AirPods Pro 2 and XM5s are crazy.
I had an iphone and i got blown away by the s23 ultra's camera so i got that phone and i never used all the extra settings while using them on the iphone so theyre perfect rn while listening to this video on my s23 ultra with my airbuds 2 pro, i also got them registered with my find to my iphone in case they get lost, i can use the volume up and down gestures, next, stop, with music and long press to activate and deactivate active noise cancelation.
Yo, thanks for those app recommendations! Tried them out and they are sweet! 👌
Awesome
They do heat up a bit on MagSafe as well as regular wireless but so does the phone and watch. I use a 3 in 1 belkin magsafe charger
A great thorough review. Loved it!
thank you
These AirPods provided me with a great night's sleep. I use them specifically for their noise-cancellation feature, which blocks out the sound of the air conditioning unit and my wife's snoring, allowing me to rest well. In fact, I couldn't sleep without them. I only wish that the battery life were longer.
How does it not hurt when you sleep on your side or bother you
@@JSyntax I typically sleep on my back, and wearing AirPods while sleeping on either my left or right side does not bother me. Plus, the discomfort is tolerable
Thanks for the flip trick-didn’t know that 🤔-oh- also I got mine on sale at target 191.98 last year,love them🙂
Thanks. What's the app name for checking the status of the battery?
I highly recommend the Bose QC II earbuds, I know you gave a quick caveat to them being better at ANC, but not just that, they are extremely comfortable and don't give the same plugged up feeling other earbuds do. Cause it's not going inside your ear canal rather just sealing it if that makes sense? I just got mine 2 days ago, I literally forget they are in my ears sometimes. And transparency mode does a good job of reducing any sudden high pitch noises, and obviously the ANC is good haha. Anywho, great video brother!
Edit: oh they are 50 dollars off at best buy, idk if there is one near you or if you can buy from them.
I'd love to compare but don't have the budget like many big rich review channels
@@JSyntax 100% fair, youre probably fine with just the airpods anyways tbh
Absolutely honest review, it really feels it is your good experience, yet not biased or being a fanboy. And let's not forget this is with an Android users view. I hear a lot of good things about the Airpods Pro 2 buds. Apart from not being an Apple user, I would probably not get it because of its "douchy", so typical look and the lack of real multi point connectivity and a few other things, like the dumb lightning cable.
Multipoint is I guess WAY underrated. When I use my buds on my laptop, then I close it and go over to my phone, sometimes it is not enough clicking the buds so that it comes over to the next device but occasionally you need to disconnect from the other devices. It is kinda weird and very annoying.
I have a pair of Huawei Freedbuds Pro 2 and that is my daily driver and absolute favourite after trying literally about a dozen TWS buds. (I know you probably cannot get Huawei in Canada due the US sanctions on them)
These have all the gestures, I actually like that a sound tells me which listening mode I am in, I can even turn off ANC OFF and only toggle between ANC ON and transparency and again, multipoint is just a life-saver convenience. There is nothing worse when you open your laptop bud the earbuds are still connected to your phone which is laying on the desk somewhere else in the room. I know this might sound like 1st world problems but this should be an obvious feature with consumer goods like these.
I'll probably get the Airpods Pro 2 one day, I am just simply curious and I really would like to see stuff like spatial audio on Apple devices. I have to admit the Airpods Pro 2 are really thought out. (not sure what took them ages to add features like volume controls, lol)
Instant follow, dude! Thx and good luck. Apologies for the lengthy comment!
Ty! The lack of multi point isn't missed. The ability to have the transmitting device connect is amazing.
I used Sony WF-1000XM4. Those sound better, and the ANC is similar. But I ended up switching to these airpods because of the relaxed fit.
Great job. Would like more information on hearing problems. Do you have any idea how much hearing adds coast?
Very expensive I imagine
Do you need an extra app to configure the airpods pro 2 on android? Or it does work just well? I would like to configure Ear detection so when i remove an earbud from my ear it stops the music.
hi, just wanted to know if the single mode is okay because you can't switch to the intermediate mode so does it feel strange when you use just one of the airpods when it is on the Anc mode or the tranparency one
Btw you can buy these with standard USB-C charging cable for the airpods pro 2 case now (included), the same one as the Pixel uses.
Thanks for the review! The best I watched so far. I´m thinking about buying those airpods pro, but i wanted to ask you, if you know some app, where you can turn off and turn on the ANC a transparacy mode? I know that it can be done on the airpods by thouching them, but I was just wondering if you don´t know some. Hope you get famous, you deserve it.
Thank you! There's no android app that offers that feature afaik. Using the manual can be customized however with a Macbook, and itll remain static
@@JSyntax how do i personalize it ?
Just finished watching your entire video as I wait for my AirPods to arrive, will pick them up with a friend at the airport this Saturday (I had to import them from the U.S, because they’re too expensive here in Brazil, almost 500$usd, yup, taxes & fees go crazy down here)
Anyways, my point is, I literally watched tons and tons of video reviews but yours were hands-down the most complete one.
The end of the video it just felt like you were talking directly to me, I recently subscribed to Audible, and I listen to my audiobooks everyday on my way to/from the gym, and during my work out
Although I use some cheap 15$usd fake Chinese fake AirPods, sound is awful, it cuts out from time to time, lots of interference etc
And I have to keep going back the audio book dozens of times, it got to a point where it took me one hour-ish to finish a single audiobook chapter, because literally any kind of noise loud or not, would stop me from understanding what was being said.
I am just so glad I made this purchase and I can’t wait to put my hands on my air pods, I’m sure I will make the best out of them.
Can’t imagine how pleasant it will be to actually listen to my audiobooks clearly with no traffic, fans and weight noises forcing me to rewind dozens of times.
Thank you so much for the effort you’ve put on this video, I know how much it takes, editing, scripting, and I really appreciate it dude, just subscribed and liked the video, stay safe dude.
wow thank you for the amazing word of encouragement! these were a great investment. I hope you like them as much as I do
great work! thx!!
I'm a professional Android developer myself and initially considered getting the pixel buds pro, given I've pixel device. But after watching your review, I'm genuinely considering getting the airpods pro 2. Will it be worth it still now?
Excellent video review. Apple is taking pre-orders for the USB-C version of these. Great to know they work well with Android. However, I do disagree with you on the Bose QC45's. Don't know how/why they would bruise your ears. I've never had that happen nor do they amplify high pitch sounds. You have far more sensitive ears/hearing than the average person. I really like them. The sound (after adjusting the EQ) is excellent and the NC is superb. Like you said they can get warm though and I do find myself adjusting them because of that but all over ear headphones have that issue. The fact that the new AirPod Pro 2 use USB-C is huge for us Android users.
Can't believe it too!
Awesome! This guy rocks AirPods Pro like a VC!
Awesome editing, hope this channel goes far. Subbed.
Thank you! Me too
Thankfully, Apple now sells the Airpods Pro 2 that charge with USB-C!
Also thank you so much for the video, yours really made me consider getting these (or at least trying them out)
Nice video, thank you so much for this review !
Ty!
Amazing review thanks a lot
ty!
just purchased these, a lil late to the party, been using the beats fit pro…but the apple pros are amazing
Great review! Does the Ear detection work for android?
I'm thinking of buying airpods pro 2 but this is kinda a 50/50 on being a deal breaker for me 😅
Yes it does
Are you using them without a cover? Just got mine and wondering if it’s necessary as most covers don’t support mag safe charging and make them quite bulky😅
I literally bought a case. I was fed up with dropping them and the head phones exploding out of the case making me clean them thoroughly.
I work in a huge manufacturing facility and when I put these in 95% of noise was gone and to be honest even my tinitutus noise seemed drowned out...
Hey I got a question as an android user. Would u still pick the airpods 2 over the bose quietcomfort 2s? Thanks in advance for reply because I am still deciding between these 2.
Airpods!
Sir your review/ explanation was amazing iam A Samsung Android phone user do you have reviews on the sound for music.
Thanks for the video review.
Great job. I have a Samsung phone also and I was concerned about connecting to Apple iPod pro 2.
it's seamless with the 2 apps I mentioned! especially the BT widget
i've had this heat issue with all wireless charging buds across every brand and phone. i tried wirelessly charging samsung buds on a samsung, on a charging pad and airpods on a samsung and a charging pad. always the same issue. i think it is a downside of wirelessly charging any kind of these buds. also, you can just use a usb-to-lightning adapter so you only need to carry one charger!
Have your tried the sennheiser’s noise cancellation compact foldable earphones? They’re superb for travelling in flights & on the go too!
Hmm no, I'll need to try
I have airpods pro 1 gen and they are amazing
What a video…didn’t skip a sec❤
Can anyone please tell me if its possible top adjust the double tap function withour an iphone? For me if i double tap the airpod it pauses the music. Instead I want to change a the track when double tapping. Any way to do that?
I have an s22 ultra and when i try to turn on transparency mode, Bixby opens on the phone. Is there any way to turn bixby off or get transparency mode to work?
I just got mine with usb c ,I love it
I just got these and I use a Pixel 7 phone. I love the earphones. Still on the fence if I want get an IPhone next time, or stick with android..
that Bluetooth Audio widget is so cool! Thanks
Yes it's amazing and convenient
what android phone are you using
For some reason, my Airpods Pro 2 connected to Android, doesn't work any feature except volume buttons. Any reason?
But you didn't talk about how set them up on the android phone my double tap or volume or any gesture how do I make them work on android
What's the name of the widget to track battery status on android?
The ANC works way better on windows, probably need a hackintosh slayer to update them, my AC unit never turns off even if I pull the circuit breakers, its using that NVidia mental, I know it.
It was a great review,
I had to rewind and listen to when you said “because you have earphones in your ‘Mouth’ “. 🤣 5:07
So you can adjust the airpods pro 2 volume from them? I saw reviews on CZcams where they say when paired to an android phone you can only adjust volume from the phone? Asking as I would like to get the S23 ultra and use my airpods pro 2. Thanks!
Yes of course! It works
Will Airpod pro 2 sound quality better than Sony XM4? Is there any music lag so far? can we check battery % in android phone?
Can adjust volume in laptop and android phone?
How to turn on active noise cancellation on airpods pro on Android? When i long press on airpod then google assistant gets activated 😭. I have tried while its not connect but still it doesnt work
Good review thank you too much im also an android user so it parfect for anc and transparency mode
Tyvm!
5:04 "because you have these earplugs in your mouth" lol fun blooper. Good videos though, thanks man
Whoops
I am using the XS to remove the pressure and thumping sound when walking.
I'm going XL!
mate, you need to reconsider the whole cutlery drawer idea. Just hang each fork, spoon and knife individually on the wall using rubber-coated magnets. Either that or learn to use chopsticks for everything.
Man i have an important question, i also got an airpods pro 2 and all is great but I've noticed that the hinge is loose and it wiggle a little bit to the left and right while the case is closed, like the case lid itself is kinda bad quality so I'm wondering if you noticed that issue too , and if it's an issue or it's made that way for a reason
Haven't had any issues with that, maybe ask apple for warranty?
Either they’re defective or fake. Take them back immediately
11:35 that’s unfortunate. I have the original Bose QC and that type of thing doesn’t happen at all. Sounds like I’d better stick with mine for a while.
Yeah the new ones have weird anc reactions to high pitch noises like dishes, causing a pop
Whats the app?
Very informative, thanks!
I switched to Apple music from Spotify on my LG v60 and apple music sounds so much better.
For the one off features, I was going to use my ipad. I'm a long term android user but am planning to switch to an iPhone after getting fed up with my android phones running out of security and OS updates.
Multi point isn't important for my use but its good to know that it's easy to charge.
I prefer lightning cable to USB c as I've had a lot of issues with the 6 different types of USB c cable and not all manufacturers labelling their cable. Amd some android phones seem to have problems with with the phone charging with USB c, where it works if you insert one way up not not the other (I have that on my v60 and know someone with a Samsung s22 having the same issue).
Would be interesting to see if the case gets warm with my wireless charger and also if I use an apple watch charger.
Agreed, it's confusing
Live listen??
Thank you for this video. I am also an Android user, does the ANC completely cut out the sound of passing cars when walking near a road ? I recently gave my iPad Pro to my Granddaughter as she is already in the Apple eco system. LOL
It certainly helps but not 100 percent. In fact, it can be quite dangerous to use these headphones in public. I don't recommend it so you can be aware of your surroundings
@@JSyntax Thank you for your reply. Have you been able to download updates using a friend's or family member's apple iPhone ?
I have subscribed.
with iPhone you can do the ear tip fit test. I did it with every tip and none were right.
Hi buddy i really appreciate your review
thank you
THE BEST!!!
I have the Bose the Bose literally was the worst since it kept disconnecting and never able to connect on my android. The AirPod pro works like a charm.
yeah! reliability is key
@@JSyntax Thanks so much for the video! Helped me make my purchase yesterday and No regrets!
When using Android, can you use only one ear bud while leaving the other in the case?
Yes
I gotta be doing something wrong, i just won the pro gen 2s and i feel the anc worse that qc25ii😅 and the passive canxeling is worse than som cheap buds for 60$
What about not updating the airpods on android??
The best review.
thank you
I have Autism and i really really struggle with noise and loud sounds, but i have heard nothing but good reviews about these with ANC, i have overhead earphones and their okay for ANC, but they are too big and fall off at the gym ect. I wish these Airpods weren't so expensive 😭😭
Same! Construction Ear muffs are helpful
20:11 the mic sounds like your ina zoom meeting😂
Have you looked into the buds 2 pro?
no sadly
There’s some goofy magic to be seen in that title
I got mine the other day, coming from Sennheiser Momentum TW gen 1. Holy crap, I love these bad boys!! But I am having some issues lowering and raising the volume, it's like it's not reacting like it should. Will look into some more. But 23:06 is the look I have when I'm trying heehee
