bear67532 Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Hi there, I am using the first gen airpods and i am wondering (for those who have used the air pods pro) how is the noise cancellation quality so far? Nightshade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timber_wolf Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I do love the AirPod Pros, went from the normal Pods to the Pros and didn't regret. But also am a avid Apple products fan... can't live without my MacBook 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyn Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 I love the AirPod Pros, mainly because they’re a great all-rounder. I can bring it out for casual listening on the go, or I can wear it for runs as it’s water resistant and fits snugly in my ear. I actually hated the regular AirPods because they fit in my ear for 5-10 seconds and then start to slip off lol Hopped onto the AirPod Pros, never looked back. However, I have tried the Sony WF-1000XM3 and I find the design bulky, case also bulky but the sound quality is definitely better than the AirPod Pros (preference of sound signature is dependent from one person to another but I’m pretty okay with the AirPod Pros) top_suck 1 Quote Tech Reviewer on Rhyn Reviews and YouTube: https://youtube.com/rhynreviews.

gymboii Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 I was recently looking at AirPod Pros and the normal AirPod as well at iStudio, as I need mostly only when I conduct Zoom conferences, and on work voice calls. The Pros is a lot more ex then the normal one. And when the salesgirl showed me the JBL version, it's like nearly half the price of just the normal AirPod...if all I use is for clarity of voice under home environment, can I pass off with just JBL?

While I'm not sure what your motivations are for choosing this over AirPods besides price tag, it seems that online reviews do not really favour or recommend it. The summary of this earpiece is that while it's cheap, it also cheapens on things like battery life which some reported to be under 3 hours. That's actually quite poor as the industry average is more than 4 hours- so if you're planning to wear this for long periods of work, I doubt it'll last more than 2 hours especially since you're using it for calling. The 3 hour battery life is only for listening to music, I believe that when you start to use it for talking during Zoom calls, the battery life will be significantly shorter.

wildfleur Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 I was so happy when they decided to launch AirPods Pro because one of my ear canals are smaller than the other. I tried the old AirPods before and it kept falling out of my ears. I'm still trying to figure out how to update my AirPods Pro's firmware to the latest one as the updates has a spacial audio and I've read reviews about it. Spatial audio is able to take advantage of the gyroscope and accelerometer in the AirPods Pro and iPhone to track head movement and device location, comparing motion data and remapping the sound field on the fly so it stays anchored to the iPhone even as your head moves around.

I left my phone to update to iOS 14 overnight and this morning when I woke up to check, it's there. I tried spatial audio on Apple TV+ and the experience was amazing! Spatial Audio only works with Apple TV+, Disney+ & HBO Max for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest model One of my close friends have them. I tried them on and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with the ANC. I'd buy that if I were an Android/Samsung user. Sadly, I am not and I don't think I'll be switching it up any time soon. Samsung has come up with very good phones lately and it's a little tempting. Haha! Now back to the Galaxy Buds Pro, I have to say it's on par with Apple's AirPods Pro. No kidding. If you're thinking of getting it, I would highly encourage you to do so. Investing in a wireles ANC earbuds is good money well spent. I never went back to wired earpiece ever since I owned one and it's really life changing.

OKAY UPDATE: I tried Spatial Audio on the newly launched Disney+ and watched Avengers: Endgame and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. I think it works best while watching action/horror/sci-fi movies. Has anyone here own a pair of AirPods Max from Apple? I noticed none of the people I know are using it. But it's still sold out in all 3 Apple Stores. Weird how I've never really seen anyone in trains, buses etc use it. I tried it inside Apple Orchard and I love how lightweight it feels. I am not a headphone person mostly because headphones are heavy and bulky. The ear cups are comfortable unlike most headphones. Can't wait for it to be in stock again so I can buy it. Let me know if you have them! I wanna know your review after using it for a long time since its launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite a stand-out design, hard to miss. I think the demand is outstripping the supply, so that might lend credence to the availability or seeing one in public. Actually, the AirPods Max is one of the heaviest headphones, compared to the likes to Bose 700 and Sony's venerable XM3 or XM4 headphones. Personally, I love the pink and white Bose 700 look but the sound quality on the XM3/4 is better. And then there's Apple's integration into the legendary, one-way in ecosystem on the AirPods Max. Combine all 3 of these aspects and I think we have a winner, but I doubt that'll happen hahaha! Quote Tech Reviewer on Rhyn Reviews and YouTube: https://youtube.com/rhynreviews.

bwf15 Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 The ANC for airpods pro is great. The recent software provided voice boost during transparency added new features. For audiophile, the sound might not be acceptable compared to other levels or brands of earphones/headphones. Recently, BEATS launched the new Fits Pro. Look promising and will be a similar product to airpods pro. already thinking of getting one when it launched in sg. Everything airpods pro and might have better signature BEATS sound quality. The ear tips and colours are also better options than the pro's. When choosing products, will still boil down to personal preference and the purpose of their use. Comfort when wearing it is also very critical especially if need to over long hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
