"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!"
"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)."
"I use Apple Music and the whole Spatial Audio thing is so amazing to me and makes the xm6 feel a bit lacking."

"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."
"Since you re on iPhone the best option is AirPods Pro 2."

"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."
"I’ve used this at concerts and near incredibly loud speakers. ... I do amateur woodworking and wearing them when the drill goes off, helps keep me grounded."
"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."

"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."
"My AirPods Pro never fall out of my ears ... I put the large tips in when I bought them and they ve worked perfectly ever since"

"The transparency mode on the AirPods Pro 2 is miles….miles …..miles better than the AirPods Pro 1s."
"When I was wearing the AirPods Pro 1 with the transparency set in accommodation mode I would bang the car door and want to remove the AirPods. The bang was so loud because of the sensitivity. The AirPods Pro 2s removes that completely."
"I do, to the point I sometimes have to check whether I have them in (the transparency mode is really good). ... I’ve been known to just forget to take my AirPods out for long periods of time."

"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."
"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."

"hated the in-ear buds. so uncomfortable for longer than 30 minutes usage."
"hated the Air Pod Pros 2 on my side- they were not as comfy in the ear and the stems were uncomfortable."
"the pros left me with a non healing scrape in my left ear that I could never find a reasoning for. ... apparently I wasn’t the only one to have this mystery effect. ... the AirPod pro 2s were 100% better (with the exception of them injuring my ear lol)"

"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."
"I have had AirPods Pro's but sold them because I switched back to Android and all iPhone users around me would get a notification lol."

"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."
"your earbuds dislodge when riding and you try to take off your helmet ... ruined them"

"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."
"over time I feel that the noise cancellation is being lost."
0000GKP 1.0You 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.
010490 1.0I use AirPods Pro 2 for gym treadmill runs and shokz openrun pro 2 mini outdoors.
025bw 1.0airpods pro but it sounds like shit XD good for calls tho
04HondaCivic 1.0Honestly? Even though I haven’t tried any other wireless headphones? AirPods Pro 2. Maybe go for the 3rd gen now that they’re out. Unless you’re an audiophile and very discerning with your sound, these are excellent. They work seamlessly with iOS devices. They sound decent. Noise canceling works great. Call quality is great. You can talk outside. Inside. In the wind. With noise around you. People can still hear you. They are comfortable. You can leave them in even when not using them and they automatically turn on transparency mode so you can hear those around you. Battery life is enough. Especially with the case they will recharge them in minutes.
0k_Interaction 1.0I’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.
0x537 1.0can confirm: got Pro 2 V5.3 HR+ from Jenny, ANC is OKish with music ON, but non-existant without
0xfreeman 1.0same 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...
0xKim 1.0AirPods Pro 2 for earbuds and Sennheiser Momentum 4 for headphones. Both work well.
16December1971 1.0Put in a bit more and get the pro 2. They are at terrific discounts world over right now.
2floppy 1.0Having owned both, the air pod pro 3 have insane ANC whereas the pro 2 have better noise transparency.
