Apple - AirPods Pro - White

I’ve always used Bose earbuds simply because they never fall out of your ears and sound great as well. I’ve always used the soundsport wireless and switched to the soundsport free when released. My biggest gripe was after 6-8 months the battery degrading was very noticeable. I’ve wanted to try the Apple AirPods since the first release but knew the design would not hold up to my expectations. When the AirPod Pros were released, I really started giving it some interest. I finally gave in and they’ve left me speechless, though one flaw, let’s get that flaw out of the way. The silicone ear tips. They’re ok but do not stay in my ears like the Bose. I find myself readjusting several times. With some talking or chewing, you can feel them slowly sliding out. I hope Apple has a fix for this in the future? In the mean time, I’ve looked into a fix myself and ordered some memory foam tips for the AirPod Pro. Awaiting that shipment. And the good. For starts, I had no idea the AirPod Pros were noise canceling. You can imagine my excitement when I first noticed while getting started with them. They have great sound and packed with awesome features. Knowing what I know now, I only wish I would’ve grabbed these when they first released. So do yourself a favor and stop by BestBuy today and pick up your very own Apple AirPod Pros.

Hands down this is the best version of the AirPods by Apple. I will go even further to say of current True wireless headphones. The design tops that of all previous versions. The transparency mode is the beat feature I’ve ever encountered on wireless headphones. I have average size ears, so the stem of the AirPods do not past my earlobes. They fit very well. The only draw back is no volume control but that’s not even an issue when you can just say “hey Siri” reduce my volume to 50%. To give you a better vision of the transparency mode; I live near the Ports and an airport. With transparency mode off I can barely hear the horns blowing while I’m outside. With it off it sounds as if nothing is in my ears. If your looking to get any other version of the AirPods it’s my honest opinion spend the extra cash for the pros. Otherwise your going to fine yourself investing in them later anyway.

If you're reading this, you're checking out the AirPod Pros. You want an honest opinion and insight from someone who has purchased them. You came to the right place. I bought these as a replacement for my Bose Truly Wireless earbuds. The features I was most interested in was the noise cancelation and the seamless integration with my Apple ecosystem. Apple did it again - easily one of the most feature-rich earbuds on the market. The noise cancelation is decent, the pairing is almost too easy, and with the software updates announced at WWDC 2020, you'll be hardpressed to find earbuds that are better suited for your iPhone, Mac or any other Apple device. So, why would I say they're amazing yet suck? They do everything but stay in my ear. The Bose earbuds have the "Stayhear" design, which, well, stays in your ear...no matter what! I've had the AirPod Pros fall out of my ear while just sitting there eating dinner. I haven't even tried running with them yet, let alone doing something more vigorous like playing basketball with them. With my Bose, I could play ball full go and not have them fall out. Being able to use earbuds when pushing myself when working out is the principle reason I buy wireless headphones. This is very important to me. There is nothing worse than having my earbuds pop out when I'm pushing myself. It's important to note that what I tried are the medium size buds. I did the sound test, and it came back as a "good" fit. I will be testing out the larger tips today...but I'm not hopeful. If the mediums pop out while eating ziti, I don't know that the larger ones will stand the stress test of a hard workout. If you don't intend to use them to exercise or you don't move around a lot, this might be an excellent choice for you. I'll keep you posted if you are interested in the feedback.

I purchased these AirPods pros after having the original AirPods (1st gen) I am pretty impressed with the sound quality compared to my previous ones but I also would like to share my cons with this item. I have noticed a tremendous decrease in battery life with noise cancellation turned on secondly they fell out of my ear numerous times I have tried switching the provided ear buds cushions sizes but they still tend to fall out when doing activities or when I’m sweating. That’s the reason why I’m only providing 4 stars instead of 5. Overall great product and great sound quality if you manage to keep them in your ears.

CONS: -The bass is underwhelming. I had a pair of Samsung Galaxy buds before I got these. The buds had a nice sound to them especially when it came to bass. As a person who loves to listen to hip hop and lo-fi, these airpods just dont feel like they're lacking some bass to truly enjoy the music. -Battery life sucks. Compared to the Samsung galaxy buds, these run out of battery VERY fast. Granted its probably the size and active noise canceling contributing to this but with other brands like Sony and Samsung packing lots of battery life into these small form factors, I feel like Apple could have done more to get a bit more usage out of one charge. Just as a comparison, Samsung's WF-1000XM3 buds have 6 hours of continuous music playback time. Thats two hours more of listening time than these. PROs: -Noise Canceling. This is an awesome feature and what you're really paying premium for (besides the brand). Its not the best at noise canceling but it works well enough that you can block out most unwanted sounds when listening to music or videos. There still is a little sound that comes through if your environment is loud enough but they block enough out to where its very bearable. -Pairing. Its super easy on an iPhone. You open the case for a few seconds and tap the connect button. Thats it. -Find My Buds. I lost my pair of Samsung Buds which is why I ended up purchasing a new pair of wireless ear buds. Because im a forgetful person, being able to open your find my app on your phone and showing you where you last used them is nice. Disclaimer though, if you have them in their case, you cant play a sound to them. They have to be outside of their case, with at least some charge to play a low pitched tone. Overall theyre ok but I feel like theyre overpriced for what they offer. Im going to continue to use them for a few days and decide on whether or not I want to keep these or get a different set of earbuds like the Samsung Galaxy Buds +, Sony WF-1000XM3s, or PowerBeats Pro.

I do like the designs and quality, one big problem I have is that the It comes with 3 ear buds sizes but none of them fit my ears and I'm finding them falling off most of the times.

Can’t praise these AirPod Pros enough! Besides the awesome noice canceling, transparency, voice activation, accurate voice texting responses, reading texts aloud, call announcements, call clarity on both ends, 5 minutes of charge getting (41%) & 2 solid hours worth of constant music at 75% volume & 4 days of case battery power without recharging and small profile....there are only two things I am not a huge fan of. 1). Maybe it’s just the shape of my left ear but the AirPod Pros backing has a slight ridge. This ridge seems like it could be sanded down or should have been by Apple considering the price tag on these suckers. It doesn’t bother my right ear but took a bit of getting used to on my left. It irritated my ear to where I had to find a comfortable position to be seated. I am not sure if I’ve more or less gotten used to it now or if the burr has kind of worn down a bit. I checked a buddy’s Pros & his were the same way. It’s worth mentioning because I know some people have complained in the past with EarPods not having a good universal fit. 2). It sounds odd but I’m just being honest as some others may have or will experience this too. It seems like it creates moisture in the ear canal. I find myself wanting to take the AirPod Pro out am grabbing a Q-tip after wearing at times. Never experienced this while using my Wireless Powerbeats 3. Even after wearing them for literally hours on end. Battery on those things last ALL day. Once again, it’s awkward to even write this in my review but just want to give others an honest experience. On a side note, I’m not a germaphobe but hygiene is high on my list. I stay clean so it isn’t like I’m not showering & popping them in my ears. Matter of fact, I may just use my Beats while working out since the AirPod Pros only come in white. My Pros will continue to be used outside of working out hours. Lastly, lack of a physical volume button is not an issue for me. If you have an Apple Watch, all your controls to include battery power are available right on your wrist. For those that do not, ask Siri to increase/decrease volume. You can even ask her to turn on/off noice cancellation or transparency modes and ask what your AirPods Pro battery level is. Overall, would like to give 5 stars but my two concerns kind of took that 5th one away.

The ability of these earbuds to cancel out surrounding noise for the wearer, is impressive. This makes it really easy for me to hear the people I call. I bought them however, because in spite of being small earbuds, they still manage to lock in on my voice and block out a large amount of background noises that are around me. This makes it much easier for the people I call to hear me even when I’m at the office, airport, restaurant, or just walking.
