Perfect for on the go connect almost instantly to your iPhone. The sound quality is great compared to other ear buds. They’re lightweight and comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The noise cancellation and active pass through are excellent feature for when you need to block everything out, or hear what going on around you. One button hold of any ear bud and the sound experience changes. The battery life is great, extended use with the case is even better. The price tag might be a little excessive as I have had better sounding earbuds for cheaper. But the convenience of ease of use and connectivity and of course the convenient features kind of makes up for it.

Decent wireless earphones

These are decent earphones with some good features.
Pros:
-Nice compact charging case
-Easy to pair with iPhones and Apple devices (these also work for Android users)
-Noise cancelling
-Transparency mode
-3 sizes if ear tips
-They normally last about a week before I have to charge the case again
The case is about the size of a floss container and can easily fit in my pocket.
I only have to pair the earphones once and I can use them whenever as long as I don’t turn off Bluetooth.
Noise cancelling blocks most noises but you can still hear loud or high pitched noises. Transparency mode allows me to wear them while riding my bike and still allows me to hear my surroundings.
The ear tips come in small regular and large so you can use the ones that fit.
Cons:
-Pretty expensive for earphones that sound like any $40 to $60 earphones that I have used in the past.
-A single airpod charge lasts about 3 or 4 hours
- Dust and pocket lint somehow collects inside
- if you drop the case, the AirPods go flying out
I was not totally impressed with the sound quality because they just sound like regular $40 to $60 earphones. Not a lot of bass and the highs don’t sound too great.
If you are binge watching something or listening to music for more than 3 to 4 hours, you’ll have to stop and put them in the charging case again but the case holds several full charges.
Somehow, dust collects around the rim of the inside of the case but there are a few companies that sell dust guards for that problem.
I have dropped the AirPods case 3 times so far and they haven’t sustained any noticable damage but every time they fall, the earbuds fly out if the case.
Overall, it’s a decent pair of completely wireless earphones in a compact case and is easy to take around and they have good features.

I like that fact that the new AirPods pro where smaller then the other ones. I have small ears and sometimes the other ones would fall out. There in the other had are build with small ears in mind they fit snug inside the canal of the ear which sometimes after wearing a long time they do start hurting I’m talking about after about 1-2 hours of wearing them. I do like the fact that you can set them to read messages off to you while you have them on. They do have 3 modes noise canceling, off, and transparency mode which the last one is for everyday use the other two modes you will not be able to hear around you very well. I like that charging it will last all day with normal use. I would recommend but I would also advise to buy the Apple care with them cuz you never know they seem a little fragile because sometimes they disconnect and sometimes the different modes don’t work. And 1 time so far their was a buzzing noise comes from the left side and they where doth charged it didn’t stop until I placed them back into the charging case.

Love these AirPod Pro’s! I have the AirPods 2 as well so upgrading to these are just wow! I like the fact you can change the ear tips if they’re too small or big and how you can change the sound from Transparency(allows some outside noise to be heard) or complete noise cancelation. Battery life is good and they are comfortable for me as I usually wear both for 3 hrs at work before I have to take them off. I would highly recommend these! Wearing them right now submitting the picture lol. The only gripe I can point out is how small they are compared to the other AirPods I have so they’re harder to handle for me taking out and putting away but I can live with that nothing crazy as long as they sound great I’m happy!

Wanted To Give 5 Stars But...

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.

Best of ALL AIRPODS

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.

Not the sound, but the features.

At first, I was disappointed by the sound quality, but that’s because I’m spoiled by the HomePods sound quality. Since we’re home more often now, I use HomePod for my music listening and I’m spoiled by its sound. Well, sometimes external noise (dogs barking, family chatter, neighbors) can be distracting as a student, so I wanted to try the noise-cancellation of AirPods Pro. Once I enabled Noise-cancellation, it became clear that THIS is the feature that makes AirPods Pro stand out. Combining sound isolation with my music (even at low volume) drowns out background sound, and puts you in a state of seclusion. It’s like being placed in a bubble with only you and your music. Studying has improved. Focus has improved. Stress has reduced. The immersion of noise-cancellation and simplicity of its functionality almost make these an indispensable tool for me.
Also, Transparency mode is almost as (if not more) incredible.
With Transparency mode, you can hear your surroundings as if you aren’t wearing them at all. I think I can hear better with them in my ears on Transparency mode than without them. It’s pretty crazy.
Noise-cancellation and Transparency alone make these an excellent choice for me. I enjoy incredible sound quality, and while these sound great, I wouldn’t say it’s the best feature of these earphones. They’re definitely something worth experiencing yourself.

I love these! They sound so good, and are so much better than the regular AirPods. I wear them every day almost all day and only once has the batteries run down. The only time they fall out of my ear is if I take off a sweater and I am not careful. Otherwise, never! I can’t even wash my face with these on and sit in the whirlpool, and pool. They never make my ears itch, and I even wear ear plugs at night when I sleep that is amazing. I bought two of them just in case I lose one. I learned my lesson though, losing the normal AirPods. I bought a case in a bright color that I attach to my set of keys. You don’t want to lose these babies! You charge them with a USB port, and it comes included, it’s pretty short, but that doesn’t matter. I use them in the car (!) and I still hear honking and sirens but not the sound of traffic when my windows are down it’s perfect. Every once in a blue moon you do lose connection for a millisecond It’s not 100% perfect Get these!

Sounds is amazing, just as good as my Powerbeats Pro (i got these airpods pro because the powerbeats got a bit glitchy just after being almost 2 years old), I didn't use to believe much in noise cancelation but it's phenomenal. I test it by lightly clapping or snapping right next to my ear, I couldn't hear anything; can't hear the gym attendant vacuuming behind me when I run. The noise cancelation made my eardrums feel a little weird after almost 2hours of wearing so I turned off the noise cancelation.
At first they hurt my ear a lot. They're a bit larger than my Powerbeats Pro surprisingly and it was the main white part in the outer ear that hurt, not the cushions/tips cause the tips fit great. But after using a few weeks everyday now I've gotten used to the feel. However, my ears move a lot when I smile so they pop out as I smile or speak almost every 10min (my ears are not really small, closer to average I'd say). I've gotten used to adjusting them frequently.
The buttons work great, it requires a firm but not super hard press, with ease. I do miss having volume buttons like on my old earbuds but the pause/play/skip/foward/backward works excellently.
I wear them over 8 hours a day for work then gym and it's held up great, with me charging them in the case during breaks to ensure they don't die. However I notice the right airpod sometimes lags in connecting to phone immediately, could be my phone (I'm getting a new one soon), or I'll exchange them.
I've included a few pictures that hopefully don't get altered.
P. S. the charger that came with them is USB-C to Lightning not that surprisingly, but since i don't own that kind of wall addapter with USB-C connection I've been using my old iphone charger with the usual USB-A wall adapter/box. I'll soon have to buy a new wall adapter like how you must to use the charger in the new Iphone Pro...might be a downside for some people like me to not be able to use the included charger with pre-existing adapters.

These AirPods are amazing. I also own the first gen AirPods and there’s no comparison. I barely used my 1st gen because they kept falling out. With these I can do cartwheels and they don’t budge even a little. Noise cancellation is INCREDIBLE! When you activate it, it drowns everything completely out. Sound is clear, crisp and has the perfect amount of bass. I have lots of different headphones and earphone ranging from Sony, to Beats to Bose, but these have surpassed all of those. They are now my only go to. Even better than my Bose QC35. Yes, price was high and I was hesitant, but when you get them, you’ll understand why they are more expensive. Apple released absolute perfection in these earphones. I’m like a little kid in a candy shop. Do it! Don’t waste another minute. Life is short, sometimes you have to spoil yourself. These are so worth it.

I purchased these as a gift for my wife. I initially tried the regular AirPods but they weren’t as easy to fit or keep in her ears. I returned those and purchased the AirPods pro. She couldn’t be happier. They connect super easy to her iOS devices and show battery status for both the buds and case when they connect. They buds fit great after she found the best fitting ear tips. The ANC works excellent and does a great job of isolation. When she’s listening to these, I can stand right beside her and talk at normal volume without her noticing or hearing me. She uses these AirPods for most of her communication and a/v needs which includes: streaming music and video, listening to church services and phone calls. Conversations sound crisp and clear on both ends. The mics use beamforming which picks up sound from a specific direction which helps eliminate unwanted background noise. Music sounds excellent with a warm, rich and clear sounding soundstage with pronounced but not overly heavy bass. There is also an adjustable EQ The buds stay in place under most circumstances and feel comfortable. The included wireless charging case works nicely with my non-Apple Qi charging pad (photo attached). The case begins charging immediately when placed on the pad.
I’ve been mostly disappointed with Apple products lately but the AirPods remind me of the Apple I used to know. The one that did not compromise on quality or user experience. Now, if these last less than two years, I will feel very differently. For the price these command, I should get AT LEAST two years of use. Given my recent experiences with short-lived iPhone and iPad batteries, I am justifiably concerned.

Great headphones use them at work. Great for being on the phone if you are on the phone a lot they do tend to die a little faster. If you are just using them for music I can go all day on one full charge. Also the noise canceling is amazing. Block out all of your hatter’s that try to bring you down.

Air Pods vs Bose

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have and use consistently both the apple air pods pro (2021) and the Bose QCs and I can tell you right now battery life and noise canceling hands down BOSE, integration and features, hands down Pods, the AirPods don’t have the best noise canceling, at all to be honest, and battery life is okay, not great, but , it reads my messages to me, and I LOVE that, Bose doesn’t do that, and also the charging case for the air pods is very small, can attach to car keys or something, the Bose charging case is galactic. If your doing any kind of intense activity, you’ll probably want the Bose in your ears, not AirPods, there light and discreet but not secure Compared to Bose. All in all Bose has awesome battery life and noise canceling, AirPods have almost flawless integration with iPhones and some great features, I use them both switching them randomly. There both great ear buds.

I’ve never been a fan of the stem out of the ear look, but after having dealt with Android and Samsung for so long, made the jump and couldn’t be happier! Coming from note 10 and Samsung buds, these just work so much better, once you get into the Apple ecosystem it all makes sense and works SO WELL! Instant syncing with my iPhone, iPad and MacBook. Sound is fantastic and with the hear through functionality, these actually help me hear people talking in crowded rooms! They stay in place better than almost every earbud I’ve tried, I purchased the comply foam tips but haven’t put them on yet because it’s been unneeded. (Lost one of my galaxy buds on a walk in the past, didn’t even know it fell out). They have deep bass, crisp highs and an overall rich sound. ANC also works great! I’m so pleasantly surprised and happy with everything Apple. I’ve been an Android/galaxy user since the palm phones became unpopular. I’m not planning on ever going back.

When I started looking for wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation, I checked competitors like Jabra, Sony and others just because I didn’t want to be biased by brand loyalty. I have many apple products so it was a no brained that AirPods Pro would fit better than others in the ecosystem. However after using AirPods Pro for a year, I would say I’m extremely happy with this purchase for several reasons like connectivity, decent battery life, audio quality and the output overall. It has been a utility purchase for me because I walk around my home and workplace while leaving my phone at the desk a lot of times. I was amazed by how far I can be away from the device and still be connected to my AirPods. Excellent piece of earbuds with occasional connectivity issues but the updates keep rolling. I would definitely recommend the AirPods Pro to any buyers out here, who use wireless pods a lot in day to day life. I would also recommend spending more to go for quality, rather than buying other cheaper options.

These are the best earbuds I’ve ever used

I am a musician who mixes music, records, etc. So, for that I need good sound, provided by studio headphones. Now obviously these aren’t THAT good, but let me tell you. These sound really good. The highs, mids, and bass are all really defined and don’t blend like on other pricey earbuds/phones. The sound cuts and every instrument can be heard at all times. The noise cancellation is not aas good as Sony’s or Bose, but it’s almost up there, can’t hear anything at the gym, loud classes, etc. But what’s even more impressive than the noise cancellation is the transparency mode, it literally sounds like there is NOTHING in my ears, we’re as the “off”/ regular mode sounds like my ears are slightly plugged. The battery life is outstanding for the size of the case, and they charge fast too, and that’s always welcome for me and I would hope most people. All in all, these are amazing, but my only complaint is the price tag, I feel that with the price of $250 Apple is overstepping their boundaries (I still bought them though). I feel that these should be priced more in the $215-$225 range, bunt still amazing product, keep it up Apple.

These are amazing wireless earbuds. Pretty much everything I expected from a high quality company like Apple. I was worried about them falling out at first, but they are surprisingly difficult to knock out. I work in a very loud environment and the noise cancellation is so nice, and being able to switch noise control modes just by pressing the button on the side is a nice touch. I would buy these multiple times over if I had to. I have never had them run out of battery life during use, even after multiple hours. Also, I only charge the case once every three days even with constant use. The battery will no doubt deteriorate over time, but at the moment it is way more than sufficient enough for me. The only downside is that they don’t work with my pc, but I think that is more of an issue with Windows than Apple.

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.
