As a wireless earbud enthusiast, I was excited to try out the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation). The AirPods Pro come packed with features such as personalized spatial audio, adaptive transparency, and next-level active noise cancellation. I have been using these earbuds for a few weeks now, and I must say, they live up to the hype.
Design and Comfort
The AirPods Pro have a sleek design and come with four pairs of silicone tips to ensure a customizable fit. I found the earbuds to be comfortable even after wearing them for several hours. The tips create an acoustic seal that helps to keep out noise and secure the earbuds in place. One thing to note is that it’s important to choose the right size tip for optimal sound quality.
Audio Quality
The AirPods Pro are equipped with Apple’s H2 chip that pushes advanced audio performance even further, resulting in smarter noise cancellation and more immersive sound. The low-distortion, custom-built driver delivers crisp, clear high notes and deep, rich bass in stunning definition. I noticed a significant improvement in sound quality compared to my previous wireless earbuds. The AirPods Pro’s sound all-around feature personalized spatial audio that surrounds you in sound tuned just for you. It works with dynamic head tracking to immerse you deeper in music and movies.
Noise Cancellation
The standout feature of the AirPods Pro is their next-level active noise cancellation. With up to 2x more active noise cancellation than the previous AirPods Pro, these earbuds provide an incredibly immersive audio experience. I was amazed at how effectively they blocked out background noise, making it easy to fully concentrate on my music or podcasts.
Adaptive Transparency
The adaptive transparency feature allows you to hear important external sounds, like traffic or a person speaking to you, while still enjoying your audio content. It’s an incredibly useful feature that ensures you stay safe and aware of your surroundings while still enjoying your audio.
Personalized Spatial Audio
The personalized spatial audio feature is a great addition to the AirPods Pro. It scans your ears to create a personal profile that enhances the audio experience. I found this feature to be quite immersive, especially while watching movies.
Controls and Connectivity
The AirPods Pro have a seamless integration into the Apple ecosystem. As soon as you open the box, you’re ready to listen. The different modes – noise cancellation and transparency mode – can be controlled from a dedicated option in your settings or from the action center. These modes can also be controlled through the stem, which I find to be quite intuitive and easy to use.
Battery Life and Charging
The AirPods Pro have a leap in battery life, with up to 6 hours of listening time with Active Noise Cancellation enabled. With the charging case, you can get 30 hours of total listening time with Active Noise Cancellation enabled. The charging case can be charged with an Apple Watch or MagSafe charger, or use the Lightning connector or a Qi-certified charger.
Additional Features
The AirPods Pro have several additional features that make them stand out from the competition. Quick access to Siri by saying “Hey Siri” is very convenient. The in-ear detection feature automatically pauses audio when you remove an earbud, and resumes when you put it back in. Audio sharing allows you to share a song or show between two sets of AirPods on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV.
Reviews
One reviewer mentioned that the AirPods Pro are a massive upgrade if you listen to music a lot on the go. They found the noise cancelling to work great and the sound quality to be very good, with the little bit of extra bass making the AirPods Pro a lot of fun to use. Another reviewer praised the adaptive transparency feature, saying it was very useful for staying aware of their surroundings.
Conclusion
Overall, I highly recommend the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) Wireless Earbuds. They are a premium product that delivers excellent sound quality and noise cancelling capabilities. The earbuds are comfortable and have a sleek design, and the additional features such as personalized spatial audio and adaptive transparency enhance the audio experience. The seamless integration into the Apple ecosystem and the convenient controls make them an excellent choice for Apple users. Although they are on the pricier side, the AirPods Pro are worth the investment if you want a high-quality audio experience.
