I've got them 1 year ago. Nothing yellow. I wash myself as often as possible... The UNTOLD TRUTH my ass.

Pro tip: wipe the ear tips and wash your ears before every use to minimize ear wax buildup. This ensures you can get a good seal that doesnt budge, thats how you get the best anc and audio quality.

@mikeenslin3009 2 місяці тому

I haven't encountered any earbud that doesn't occasionally have the charging issue. I made it a habit to press them down slightly before I close the case. I'm a Machinist and use them like 7h a day and lots of metal shavings get in there because of the magnets. But they've hold up really well after a year now. And yes I agree, configurable noise canceling would be the only thing I'd want.

@Schrodingerscomment Місяць тому

I work in metal fab., and have been absolutely blown away by, how the AirPods Pro (usb-c) have performed, haven't had any charging issues to date. The noise canceling , transparency, and adaptive modes are so good, I wear them all day, in place of hearing protection.

@jicalzad Місяць тому

My airpods pro gen 1 recently died and was considering these, but i missed a big sale where i believe they dropped to somewhere around $180. NOw they're back to between $200-$250 depending on the retailer. I believe i also bought my original Airpod pros on sale during Black Fri. I opted for a cheaper Soundcore Liberty4 ANC (i think it was on sale for around $70) to hold me over in the mean time. To be honest, i think the Soundcores work a lot better than expected. I'm not an extreme audiophile, so i'm not sure i notice any major differences in sound quality. Actually, i think the Liberty 4 NCs sound a bit better, probably because they fit my ears better. I think i still may buy the Airpod Pro Gen 2s again in the future whenever they go on a major discount again sometime this year because i just like the smooth connectivity and the FindMy Apple feature. I've misplaced my earbuds so many times in the past, and the FindMy Apple feature was pretty useful.

@intoMoldova Місяць тому

First, noise cancellation does not work against the ambulances sirens in Moldova, second, noise cancellation mode in some kind of way affects my vestibular system, I don’t have an explanation for that but this is what i noticed while using airpods pro for an year. The sized buds still don’t fit my ear and get annoying after 30 min of use. Came back to lightning earphones, hate the cables but confort for ears is more important. ☮️

I don't have an iPhone or other Apple products and I am currently using Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 buds (they are simply the best). Airpods are far not the best buds around. They sound mediocre, they don't have multipoint pairing, most of the features are tied and limited to iOS but I still so badly one them. My wife has them and I always look at them with desire, they are just a beautiful piece of tech. We also have to admit, ANC and transparency is possible the best around.

@rodolfocamposjimenez2566 Місяць тому

I think the AirPods Pro 2 are a great update in terms of the amount of new features and improved noise cancellation. The only thing that bothers me is their sound quality, they are so damn bass heavy that music (particularly rock, punk and metal) sound muffled and lack the clarity that the Gen 1 had in my opinion. On the other hand the soundstage got wider which is good. I find it weird that many people think they sound good and they don’t find them muffled.

I got mine covered in black on the main body and grey on the stems so you can't tell they're AirPods from they aren't a blatant advertisement for Apple.

@laplthelullemann Місяць тому

It‘s fair to say that you don’t like the design, I just found it funny that you say you don’t want to be a walking advertisement for Apple, it’s not like the AirPods say *APPLE* on them, right? This just means that the designer did a good job of creating a unique and recognisable design, whether you like it or not is obviously up to you, but it’s like saying “I painted my Ferrari black instead of red because I don’t want be a driving ad for Ferrari”.

Bro crying over a fucking cable XD the youllow Is creted becase you probably forget to clean your ears pal... / to all the people who are interested in airpods pro Gen2, If you want a decent sound quality and premium feeling set of eabuds, go for it. If you dont use an Iphone or apple system, dont go for it... Buy sony earbuds ... I own these and I owned the 1 gen both are still decent up to this date. You wont get anything better for the money... If you have a problem and need the best sound quality buy Focal Bathys, they are overhead but they are what you are looking for... For what the Airpods pro 2 do they are 9,5/10... they dont have the best noise canceling, you will have to buy foam eartips to get on sonys level...If you want the best money to performance ratio go for Sennheisers... they offer great sound quality...
