me listening to this through my airpods pro 2 👁️👄👁️

Coming from the old AirPods Pro, the new ones are a significant step up. Sound is better, noise cancelling is noticeable better, and the transparency is the best I’ve heard by far in any earbuds. I considered many options, but nothing had quite the balance that I was looking for like the AirPods Pro 2 does. Seamless connectivity, the smallest case out there, great sound(even if not the best), second best ANC, and the best transparency out there. The are simple and effective, well worth the price to me. If I couldn’t get them, I would get the Bose for the fit and ANC.

This was so well done, I haven't seen anyone else break down all the different buds in the TW market and put them into categories like this.

One of the best intros I’ve ever seen, so sick

Intro was 🔥 you can tell the quality, the love, the time you put into producing this quality content

I bought a pair 2 weeks ago and wow. It was a massive upgrade for me as I had the AirPods 1. I was worried about the fitting but the XS tip is perfect for me.

Not often that I watch a single video and instantly hit the sub button, this is one of those exceptions. Excellent production, thorough and detailed analysis ( I admit that I didn’t think you were going to mention the super premium options out there) Most of all though, straight to it with no BS. Top darts!

Multi device connectivity is also a feature to consider and I think it is often underrated. Switching between devices is so easy with this. You put your laptop aside, pick up your phone and....bang...you can use your buds right away. For this and many other reasons Huawei Freebuds Pro 2 are my daily driver and it does so much more very well. Well thought out gestures, LDAC and super sound.

I’m glad I finally stumbled across your channel. It’s refreshing to be able to listen a fellow Englishman and be able to enjoy a professional quality review that hasn’t come from across the pond. Excellent work! 👍😊

Truly an underrated channel. I’ve been thinking of buying these since release (mid September) and the original pros even before. I’m probably going to buy some within a few months, when I feel it’s most necessary. I’ve heard some really good things about these buds, and I was really impressed with the first pros when those first came out.

Apple airpods pro 1st generation is now at just 160$ . Thats a really great purchase so far that i can see. And value for money too 💯

Killer intro :) Exactly the experience but with the first gen Airpods pro. Brilliant review. From a Bose QC 25, Jabra elite 65 and 75t, to the airpods pro. This thing packs a serious punch. The airpods pro sounds brilliant on windows PC (I tested via the player foobar, especially when you tweak it with equalizer.) So the airpods pro just does everything well. Noise cancelling is almost at par with the QC 25's.

Nicely done!!! There is one great feature that doesn't get enough recognition in my opinion. The amplification level of the transparency mode...I have not seen this feature in other earbuds. The amplification is so good that they practically become earaids. Also so important that while listening to audio, you can still hear ambient sounds if you wish. This was the deciding factor for me.. thought I would put this out there..tks!

Clear, concise, informative and professionally put together. Can't see why this chap doesn't have more subscribers.Well done!

This video is on another level 😍 wasn’t expecting all this and the good editing, the objective option and the dog 😍 loved it! Thank you ❤

I’m mostly deaf in my right ear. I don’t use hearing aids as otherwise they have to be reflective. So hearing aids in both ears. I just upgraded to AirPod pros 2nd gen.the transparency mode is one reasons because it’s crazy how much it improves my right ear and how much I can hear. But upgraded more for being in cafes and having a meeting for noise cancellation! Best in ear and hearing aids!

Thx for the xm5 heads up. Will make up my mind once this drops.

Great analysis and comparison. Thanks!

Good video! I have a wireless dac and meze iem, which i use for my listening sessions on the go, and an earmen usb c dac for best quality when at home on ipad pro, ordered airpods pro 2 for seamless calls and ease of use when I am not seriously listening to music like during workouts, driving, etc, the anc is a first experience for me too 😊

Subscribed and thanks for the helpful video.. !

This is an amazing video, the dilemma part comparing the earbuds of different price ranges is crazy informative, thank you for the great work

First time, I watched one of your reviews. Very well thought out video. Great work.

Good review! What about the new Bose quite comfort 2?

I don’t normally comment on KZfaq videos, but this is superb in every way and will undoubtedly help many people make the right decision regarding the purchase of new earbuds. Really tremendous work.

very clear, concise breakdown of the different buds. very helpful information.

Love how you did your video. Appreciate your work. Subbed

Hello! Straight to the point! What is a pencil you use in this video?

Great video, thank you! I am super happy with the AirPod Pro 2, especially with the case and transparent mode. But also the ANC is improved.

Nice review. I haven't had any AirPods before but am tempted by this one. I like the audio quality with spatial audio, transparency, anc and call quality especially in windy conditions. Also the comfort which is great for using a while. I have an iPhone 11 pro max so might get the 14 Pro, though there are a good few years of updates for the iPhone 11. (I want lighting rather than usb C which I have on my LG v60 phone, there are 6 categories of USB c cables which can be a real pain. And lightning is easier to insert quickly. Plus lots of lightning accessories, including lightning to mmcx cable with in line dac). I don't know anyone (except reviewers) who get a new phone every year!

Fantastic explanation!!!...Thanks man!.

Nicely done review. The list is missing Liberty 3 pro from Soundcore though. It has amazing sound from dual driver setup.

Thanks for the info, bout to order the ones I want rn.✌🏻🤪✌🏻

thanks for the video with great animations!

I am amazed at the ability to cut background noise .. I recently bought the pro before the 2 came out .. I’m thinking about that extra 30% noise reduction

Love it mate. Nailed it with final analysis

You are so underrated man. Great review!

I have heard that Bluetooth 5.3 has improved audio for the AirPods Pro 2. Since iPhone 14 can do this now, could you please do a sound test between the iPhone 13 versus the 14 to see if there is a difference?

Don’t normally comment on a review vid but I just have to add to other comments about how well that was filmed and edited really well done, great job great vid.

If you’re on a tighter budget and want good quality and ANC the Tozo NC2 are pretty dang good for the $35 USD price point. The ANC is easily as good as the original airpod pros - sound quality is also pretty close and mic is great for calls. The main drawback is probably that they are a bit chunkier than the airpod pros - but with that comes better battery life and good bass.

Keep shinning .. your content is class.. your tone is amazing too

buds by akg is probably the best option for sound quality . sure cd quality is a factor but I believe how the earphone measurement affects sound quality matters more even if you're stuck with a lower quality Bluetooth.

You forgot the Soundcore Liberty 3 pros. They sound incredible and have great ANC. I have both those and the APP2 and the ability to practically filter in everything as natural as they do, the Air pod pro 2's have replaced my liberty 3's. They sound great, and their ANC is slightly better as well.

not too complicated for me, at least. the seamless experience if you've got multiple apple devices is worth more than any sound quality or even lower prices can offer. I think I'll hope for a good deal on black Friday

Great walk through. Thanks. What app did you use for your ipad?

wow this was a beautiful video to look at! the editing 🤯🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Which earbuds are the BEST for bass?? Like.. ear shaking good.

Thank you for your thoughtful and illuminating video.

Thank you for this video. Does ANC on the AirPods Pro 2 totally cut out the sound of passing cars ?

I just recently lost my 1st gen AirPod Pro's, so it was a great excuse to get the new 2nd gen AirPod Pro's. I can confidently say that the 2nd gen are significantly better than 1st gen. The sound quality is immaculate, the transparency mode is exquisite, the noise cancellation is astonishing. The new added feature to be able to turn up/down the volume just by the earphones themselves is brilliant. I'd say upgrading wouldn't be such a bad idea if you have the extra money on the side to splurge on these. 10/10 imo.

Thank you for this phenomenal review.

Loved your approach to this minefield, great production too +1 Subscriber

Such a good video damn bro , so clean , unique , so fast , so interesting, no drawn out rants about the same reoccurring topics , awesome video probably the peak quality of an online review Very talented at creating visual media

Something else, I don’t see often in earbud reviews is fitment. I bought the xm4, and while I love the sound quality, they are super uncomfortable in my ears, even after several months of wearing them. So I caved and got the AirPod pro 2, they are so much more comfortable. Sure there are a few features on the Sonys that Apple doesn’t have,including the slightly better sound, but at the end of the day none of those things matter, if I’m just waiting to take the earbuds out because they hurt my ears.

Awesome presentation! I am shocked to see your subscriber count. Love from India ❤️

I was scared I wasn’t gonna like them but I heard a lot hype abt them so I bought them obviously doing a lot of research and I’m glad I bought them. Been 4 days sense I’ve last bought them and the noice cancellation and transparency mode is something I’ve never expected or been through with the past earbuds I’ve owned.

I’ve never had buds before then I purchased some Beats Pro buds to work out with, I hated them because the sound was simply horrible, fast forward to the past 2 weeks and I purchased AirPods 2 Pro because she likes buds, she handed me them to try about 15 minutes after she stated using them and used the word eargasm. I was stunned, I went for a walk, there were 2 tracktors in the field next to me and cars going up the lane and a busy road over the hedge, I could barely hear anything outside and when I focused and lost my self in the music I could hear nothing but the music, 30 minutes later I ordered myself some. I cannot believe I chose these over the normal high end over ear phones I go for.

Wow I was not expecting this at all. That was just a super job. I am totally impressed. thank you, thank you very much.

Can the AirPods Pro handle lots of sweat and can they deliver as far as loud and sound quality? I run a lot.if not, what do you recommend ?I love loud good music while running. I’ve been burnt by all of the older apple models can’t seem to get more than 6 or so months out of any of them.I’m looking for a solid seal, big sound and loud ! Your recommendation is appreciated

Nice vid! Keep up with the good work 🚀

I love this got mine yesterday way better then the first ones

Coming back to rewatch a few months later. And it's a great review and video. I've still come out with airpods Pro 2 being the best choice for me , with the sennheiser momentum true wireless 3 close behind. I tried a few buds in-between. I'm using an iPhone and Android phone. Audio quality is important to me. For wireless earbuds I also want good call quality, ANC, pocketability, comfort and abdew other things. The Sony wfxm4 (£160 lowest I saw) is excellent for ANC, audio quality and it's app. But the case doesn't slip so easily into pockets as Apple's. They aren't the most comfortable for everyone, though looking for alternative tips will sort that. Call quality isn't the best. The Sony linkbud s however is a great alternative (£120 lowest I saw). It's incredibly comfortable, light with a pocketable case (not wireless) and better call quality than the wfxm4. Nothing earbuds I've heard relatively little about. There's a host of cheaper earbuds that so well on audio quality, some a bit bass heavy, for example soundcore, 1more... All of which have their own issues like background sound, not great ANC, poor app or very invasive data access... The sennheiser momentum true wireless 3 have been down at £164 on special offers making them great value. But their ANC isn't as good as Apple's and the case isn't as pocketable. The BEO EQ are above my budget -great sound but not so good for the other features.Bose QC 2 , great ANC but not as strong across the board. Samsung, for pushes out of my options (I'm not using a Samsung phone to get the most from them). So, I was really left with the airpods pro 2 or the sennheiser tw3. They are both good audio, possibly preferring the tw3, just. Though they loose out on ANC to the airpods and when I'm out and about that is a key feature. I'm not that keen on wireless earbuds where they'll have to be ditched in a few years as the battery health reduces. In 2 or 3 Yeats the battery might be down to 2/3rd twh current battery life. The airpods pro 2 are probably about the same sound quality as a decent £150 wired IEMs, though more versatile. And features like ANC and the sound quality are available with my android phone. And many of the other features are ones to use one off (which I could do from my iPad if I didn't also have an iPhone). I also have an Apple watch which I've tended to usw alongside my android phone (lg v60 - great audio quality with ESS sabre dav, 3.5mm headphone socket and aptx adaptive. Though codecs aren't that significant compared to the hardware, ear tip fit , music source...). I've got better IEMs and headphones that I can listen to at home. When I'm out and about, ANC and call quality are very important. So, my finger is hovering over the airpods pro 2 button (I've returned the other earbuds I've tried in the past few months and used wired IEMs {iPhone is great for that, using the lightning socket}, wireless headphones and some Shure Bluetooth earhooks which allows me to use quad driver mmcx earbuds wirelessly - as well as being able to attach them to 3.5mm and lightning cables).

The noise cancelling of my pros 1st generation use to be brilliant then the 2nd gen came out and suddenly the fit test said that my AirPods 1 didn’t have a good seal AND ANC wasn’t as good as it was before 🤔

I’ve always found myself using transparency modes in earbuds and headsets way more than noise cancellation and right now you can’t beat apples transparency mode

Sensational review…got my Pod Pro 2…great little buds…my question is though what device are you writing on?

Great video! What app are you using to draw the white on the black and what pen/stylus is that? Thanks!

Great intro / great review / great video

This is a fantastic video! Do you any that talk about durability or reliability? I’ve owned 5 pair on the list you highlighted at the end but 3 of those 5 brands either stopped charging or one bud stopped working between 6-8 months then bug fixes / resetting and finally unrepairable right after the warranty ran out. (Beats were the worst having tried them THREE times/ models) Sound quality is important but so is not having to purchase new sets annually 🙃

That opening tune hit so hard even in my OpenRun Pros

As an owner of the Beoplay EQs, I would say B&O pretty much nails down the balance category. However their fit, fairy adequate software support and features makes them a less desirable TWS earbuds. Which is why I’m considering trying out the iPod pro gen 2s

I own these, and I think your review is this review catches it's essence the best!

You're missing the Devialet Gemini. 3 noise cancelling modes (incl air plane mode) and 2 transparency modes. I came from AirPods Pro gen 1 and I'm using these Devialet for a couple of months and I don't regret buying them. Sound is great, big driver, crispy sound and has a punchy bass. They dropped from 299 to 229. It's a great option

great video!!!very good production and very nice tws earbuds comparison!!!

I've bought mine just a while ago and just wow, the sound upgrade is very noticeable. Def recommend these new airpods, in fact I'm using them right now xDD

Superb review - thank you

Woow amazing video I just return the Sony bcuz it warmed up and made my ears so warm. I was list, I was like what’s the other best buds in the market and it happens to be the one I bought today AirPod 2 pro and honestly it’s impressive! My friend did call me and said she can hair lots of noise in my end sooo I am still to test this out but in my end I could hear her perfectly so maybe it’s on her Anyways am so happy about my purchase.

I’m watching this on my iPhone 14 pro max 1tb and listening using AirPods Pro 2nd gen

I have the airpods pros, normal airpods, qc45’s and then dt990s for home use. For productivity I use my qc45s and I double up on noise cancellation by sliding in my airpod pros under my headphones. My AirPods Pro’s by far have probably been the most useful to me they are just extremely convenient with how seamless everything connects, and out of every headphone I have - definitely have the most wear. I probably used them every single day in 2020 and half of 2021. If the AirPod pro 2s have better anc and a battery I think that’s worth it in itself as the sound quality on the pros are decent.

I really wish there was an option to adjust the amount of ANC. Sometimes with the new Pros because of the extra noise cancel, its a little too quiet. I want a mode between full transparency and full on ANC

Why so little subs, production quality is worthy of a couple 100k

really good video man underrated

I had the Sony WF-1000X M4 but they where quite big and always stopped playing because they didn't fit good in my ears. They indeed do have very good sound quality and noise cancellation but the fit and handling (getting them in) is bad. I then switched to AirPods Pro (1) and they do fit very well (they are much smaller and the shape is more organic). The spatial audio also does work better on them and the feature of spatial audio and head movements is nice. Also controlling of the buds works better on them and the transparency mode is better on them compared to the Sony (and is said to be even better on the AirPods Pro 2).

Your list is spot on! You’ve done your homework 😀

An important feature for me is the buds staying in my ears. The Bose QCs kept falling out of my left ear. The AirPods 2 stay in and are more comfortable.

Hi What about gaming,any delay on sound?

What iPad app do you use for those notes/mind mapping?

Listening to music on the Pro 2’s is such a dynamic experience. They sound so good.

earned my sub simply off the intro...well done!!

Is there serious rumour about a Sony wf 1000xm4 upgrade to a xm5? Any idea when this may arrive (in the UK)? Thanks and great and informative review. I have subscribed.

I see that the beats 3 that are usually 350 are going for 150 and I know there airports are going for 200 right now which one would u recommend the beats or these airpods

After Buying CharJen Pro Eartips The Audio Is Better Even At A Lower Volume Just got them and so far Airpods pro 2 haven't moved in my ears at all and the audio quality is more impactful at a lower volume . Finally I can enjoy my AirPods Pro 2 .

Nicely done!

What app were you using on your iPad?

Man, I thought I was watching a movie with that intro. Your channel deserves a million subs!! Superb content. Cheers to you!

insane production quality !!

Probably the most professional video I’ve seen on you tube amazing, and quality content of course !! Great.

giving you a like just for the kitty with the airpod and doggo with the headphones 🤣

Hope the APP2 goes on sale this Holiday season/Black Friday?

Can you compare anker soundcore 4 vs AirPods Pro gen2 ?

amazing editing

I just picked up a pair during Black Friday. I can’t see going with anything else if you have multiple Apple devices. I was blown away by how easy it is to switch from IPad to iPhone, to Apple Watch. Audio is great in any mode and noise cancellation should work well enough on flights. The device location feature is a nice bonus.
