"they have better ANC than almost anything I've tried, over-ear or not ... my new ANC test is the mower and a circular saw."
"honestly the jump from app1 to app2 was massive, much better tuning and ANC, alot of smart features added after the fact via free updates such as conversation awareness, adaptive audio, and hearing protection which works well at live venues (I used it at a show, it was great)."
"they work great as earplugs while driving my car with a loud exhaust, blocks almost all sound out while the noise canceling on the Bose headphones doesn’t come close. ... If I wasn’t using my AirPods I’d be using earplugs."

"The best unexpected feature for me is that they are findable on my iPhone - the case and buds are individually searchable and you can even use the iPhone as a homing device that shows you an arrow leading you towards them. ... As someone who misplaces my buds about 3x a day, this is indispensable."
"the main issue is the integration, Especially if you're in the ecosystem. ... Since I switch between my ipad and phone a lot I decided to just stick with the AirPods Pro's"
"I use Apple Music and the whole Spatial Audio thing is so amazing to me and makes the xm6 feel a bit lacking."

"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"I love my AirPod pros for running ... They’ve never ever fallen out."
"most importantly the fit is impeccable for me"

"still have quality sound and bass ... With a slight adjustment in the bass on Spotify + spatial sound, the Airpods fly! The bass and quality of the Airpods almost reach the same level as the XM4!"

"2 pros were tortuous for me. ... Unless they’re horribly painful, like a lot of people say. ... The rubber felt like they were giving my ears blisters after a week. ... I tried everything to get the pros 2 working for me but I had to return them eventually. ... Yeah the pro hurts my ears so much, felt like they were blistering"
"hated the in-ear buds. so uncomfortable for longer than 30 minutes usage."
"I must have big ears. ... I could not get a solid fit. ... Move-around stability and ANC were atrocious, I’m sure because of the fit."

"The AirPods Pro always slip out after 1-2 minutes of use on the left side (for me). I'm still trying to find a solution for this. One that doesn't involve fiddling with the foam."
"My AirPods Pro would always fall from my ears. ... I always faced this issue with AirPods Pro to the point I even had to buy a kit of silicone accessories for them to not fall."
"Foam or rubber tips on the APP2 fall out of my ear the *second* I start sweating almost without fail... ... as far as how well they stay in with any moisture, that is the issue."

"The ANC is not remotely what it used to be now."
"The APP2’s ANC was great at first, but then they seem to nerf it with subsequent updates."
"How is the ANC on your APP2s? Mine were great and then one day just stopped doing much ANC at all."

"the mic got bad due to sweat corrosion."
"My pro 2 ’s had to be replaced several times while I had a warranty ... then one of them broke again a month after warranty."

"AirPods are terrible for that."
"as long as you dont connect to windows with them. unless you enjoy having to disconnect and reconnect them every hour or so. ... i am about ready to throw them in a blender with how absolutely barbaric apple's bluetooth connectivity is outside of apple only products."
"I learned a lot of the advanced features that are available for the Apple phones are not available on Android/Windows. ... You will have to use third party utilities to see headphone battery life. ... You cannot change the equalizer settings of your AirPods this way. ... You won't get the higher end version of the transparency mode. ... You won't get "turn off when you pull earbuds away from ear" feature. ... I had to return them because the lack of proper Android integration where I feel like I'm missing out on half the features because of the gatekeeping behind Apple's hardware just bugged the hell out of me."
You just like the thought of it or do you actually use them in conditions where that would be helpful. I’ve used EarBuds, Pro 1, and Pro 2 during workouts and in light rain with no issues at all. I tend to get out of the rain in downpours or at least use an umbrella, so don’t plan on ever putting that to the test.
r/apple • Apple announces AirPods Pro 3 with ‘world’s best ANC’ and live translation ->I use AirPods Pro 2 for gym treadmill runs and shokz openrun pro 2 mini outdoors.
r/C25K • What are the best picks of RUNNING headphones that you currently love and use? ->airpods pro but it sounds like shit XD good for calls tho
r/GalaxyS22 • What is the best earbuds for cancelling noise right now ->I’m also interested in this. I use AirPods Pro 2 most of the time. They work but I don’t love them. I was looking for wired headphones as well.
r/AutisticAdults • What are some of the best noise cancelling headphones? ->can confirm: got Pro 2 V5.3 HR+ from Jenny, ANC is OKish with music ON, but non-existant without
r/AirReps • What’s the best AirPods Pro 2 Rep from Jenny? Need Real Feedback! ->same here, couldn't get a good fit with any of the tips. I'm not sure I have a deformed head, but it also crackled a lot (probably the foam expanding/contracting) when I talked with it, which was truly annoying. Never had that with any of the previous versions, so sticking with my Pro 2 for the time being...
r/airpods • AirPods Pro 3 has the best ANC of any earphone or headphone. Objective data shows… ->AirPods Pro 2 for earbuds and Sennheiser Momentum 4 for headphones. Both work well.
r/LegionGo • What headphones are you guys using? Preferably wireless. Legion go S. ->Put in a bit more and get the pro 2. They are at terrific discounts world over right now.
r/airpods • AirPods 4 ANC for the gym? ->The Pros have better ANC and sound because of the tight seal. However I prefer the 4s because i don’t like the silicone tips on the pros.
r/airpods • Airpod 4’s or the Airpods pro 2’s ->Exactly the case. Everyone should try airpod pro 2 first and if the tips don’t fit just return it for 4
r/airpods • Airpod 4’s or the Airpods pro 2’s ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
