Hey Chaps! What Earphones/Headphones do you use?? Update: The Noise App only registers the Pro 2’s noise reduction. My mistake, although anecdotally I do believe the new Pros are much better - in the order of 2x as Apple claims

To all those who went to the comment section of this video first, this is a good solid review. He actually covers what it's like to use this product in real life as opposed to just rehashing what apple described during the event. Also not many reviews actually do a microphone test, I know that is important to a lot of people.

6:04 Wow, it shows the engraving on the case while pairing!

Bought these yesterday and they are a solid upgrade from the Gen 1s. I use mine every day for commuting and also at work on calls. The noise cancelling is a noticeable upgrade and I like the extra bass on the sound. Walked around a busy city centre yesterday with no music and it really did dampen more sound. Been playing music and podcasts today. See what the microphones sound like tomorrow on some Teams calls and how they handle the train on the commute.

The transparency mode is so realistic in the new pods 2 I actually had a moment today thinking that I didn’t have them on today. Compared to my old one

To my ears, the audio quality actually is significantly better than the original pros, and I actually enjoy the sound out of the originals. Worthy upgrade for sure

I have to say the upgrade from original AirPods to these ones is amazing I have beats as well and these are the first earphones I haven’t had to adjust when in the gym or training. Happy I’ve made the upgrade and thanks for the good review 👍🏼

The outside mic comparison was the key reason i'm off to go grab some of these now. I think the sound quality was very noticeable. Thanks for the solid review.

Great video. I REALLY appreciate that you get to the point with no silly chi chat or distracting gimmicks. Thanks for making quality content, Sir.

I seen other air pod pro 2 review/useage videos but this was the best one! Great job!

The Apple Watch app currently only shows the reduced volume level when using the new pros. When you had the original ones in it was just telling you how loud the environment was.

Very good review. I have seen sooo many reviews on these, but you are the only one who have said anything about the different speeds when you charge in different ways. And you are the only one who has done the volumetest on the applewatch. Didnt know the watch recorded the sound through the earbudgs when they are connected.

An apt video. No tech lingo and answered all my questions that I couldn’t get from dozens of videos. Keep it up thanks 👏👍👍

Just ordered a pair today. Have had a pair of the old Gen2’s since 2020, and while I absolutely love how well they consistently pair, I use the train a lot and am fed up with having to crank the volume up to the max in order to drown out the noise! Very much looking forward to spatial audio too 😊

Great demo(s) Tom! ❤

Great review. Looking forward to picking mine up too 🙌

This was the first video I clicked on and it was hands down the best review of the AirPods Pro gen 2 I've ever watched, keep up the good work!

Another amazing video!

Wow. This has got to be your best video yet. Well paced. Definitely appreciated what I think is a new shooting style compared to your previous videos. Felt a more on the move and more interesting shots. Oh and the review was really comprehensive too! Been looking for a day in the life review vs an unboxing/press point/spec video so thanks.

Nice and honest review! Thanks Tom!

Great review man! I bought mine today after watching this! Big thanks!

Great review! thank you!!

Good review, I always like how you review as a user would use them. I got mine yesterday upgrading from original Pro’s and think they are worth the upgrade. The sound quality while listening to classical / soundtrack music is so much better. People have mentioned on phone calls that they sound so much better and one person couldn’t believe I was in a shopping high street, very little background noise on the call.

Very informative review.

Ok, I love ya Tech Chap and enjoy all of your reviews - keep up the great work. That being said... I ended up upgrading from the OGs to the APP2s and I have to say that (and I know you gave a disclaimer) that the sound in the 2s are way way better with more lows and better mids. I am surprised that you only thought it was 5-10% better (7:25 minute mark). I almost didn't buy them from that comment alone but so glad I did. To each his own. Carry on and thanks for all you do.

Great review man ! Thank you !

Best Airpod 2 review atm. Great work dude.

I appreciate that you covered the microphones on these. I hope they will sound better when I'm on zoom calls or phone calls.

Great review! I was skeptical of purchasing the 2nd gen as I am not unhappy with the original pro but you convinced me. So TY!

One of the rare KZfaqrs who still reviews tech with enthusiasm ! Keep it up!

A solid review. The comparison of voice memos between v1 and v2 sold me. Picking one up tonight!

I didnt think videos “Shot on iPhone” looked this great!!!!makes so much sense for reviewers to do, i think everyone should be doing it, well done for executing it so well

Nice review, subbed!

Definitely the most enjoyable tech channel! Keep it up!

I got a pair of AirPods Max just under a year ago. I really liked how they sounded but I found them a bit hot on my head for extended wear. Then, a while ago, I tried some Nothing Ear (1)’s and was pleasantly surprised by how they sounded. Although the AirPods Max sounded much better, the convenience of reaching for the Nothing ear buds meant that the AP Max got very little use. So I decided to take the plunge and buy some AP Pro 2’s on launch day and I’m blown away by them.

Top video and I’m buying some now! Exeter looks stunning by the way!

You definitely deserve more subscribers, you are amazing

Good review. Getting mine hopefully tomorrow. Will be able to also compare. For me, I use them every day, so an enhanced transparency mode and enhanced noise cancellation are enough to justify the upgrade. But we’ll see what I really think. If not, I’ll return them.

Great Review Mate🙌🏿

The extra small ear tip is a life saver for my ears. I can now comfortably use them. At times when touching the left AirPod while noise cancellation is on I still notice a tiny bit of sound escaping but I just snug it a lil bit and it’s all good. So safe to say my left ear has a problem with silicone ear tips😅. Safe to say these are one of the best earphones.

First review I've seen that does a proper mic test and mentions that the mic array is the same as last gen. Thank you!

Wow, this was actually an easily relatable and useful review. Nice dude.

Great video!

Very tempting to upgrade for the improved noise cancelling.

This is an excellent review of what to expect, and the microphone quality is far better in the 2nd generation. Trying to figure out if my are defective due to two things: 1. They constantly drop/cut out when I use them on my Macbook playing KZfaq videos. They don't seem to drop when using with my iPhone. 2. There is a lot of crackling when playing back from Audacity. It's not in the recording, my other monitors have confirmed.

Great review and as a guy born and bred in Street, Somerset it's great to see you on location in Wells 👍

I had the 1st gen. Got pixel buds as a gift. Sounded much better. Also better fit. I have my dad my AirPods Pro. Love my pixel buds.

A solid video mate!

Thanks for a great review of the new airpods Tom. Btw the new look with the beard/stubble really suits you 👌

Wow I do think the sound quality is a lot better compared to the old ones.

These AirPods are awesome,recently had the air pods pro been giving me problems with ppl couldn’t hear me on the phone,So I patiently waited for these to come out and then I brought them,I’m actually loving these…..they sound awesome and the noise cancellation is on another level,watching movies and content like this sounds awesome…😊😊😊

Very nice review

Great review. Definitely upgrading. Where did you get that denim Sherpa trucker jacket from?

Haven’t seen a video of yours for a longggggg time. Damn lots of subs now :) Finally getting round to watching this as contemplating them now! Looks like you went back to Exeter ? (Wasn’t that your uni?) also the filmed on iPhone bits are intresting 😂

This review clinched it for me... I'll be buying a pair in a few weeks... The microphone is just great and I can switch between my phone and ipad...

Bro I like your haircut in the outdoor clip. *And I love your video!!*

Awesome, just what I was looking for. I just got them and wanted to hear others thoughts

It looks like the microphone performance and noise cancellation are significantly better with the 2nd gen airpods pro. I already have a gen 1 set and i am not sure if i have to replace it with the new ones. I think i will skip the change and try the new ones when the gen 1s’ battery gets worse. (If on that day the 3rd gen isn’t introduced 😊).

I didnt have the pro 1's but I've had all generations of the standard airpods and these are some of the best headphones I've used in a while

I’m new to the whole Apple ecosystem, got my first iPhone on the 16th when the 14 came out and I love it so far. Now I got the new gen AirPods and I’ve found myself using them more than I have used any others before in the short time I’ve owned them.

Your monitor looks so cool!!

I am very impressed with the ANC on the new Pros. It’s almost as good as my xm4. They are much more comfortable too, no more vacuum feeling in ears. They feel more like regular AirPods. Definitely worth the upgrade! Hopefully, Apple doesn’t turn down the ANC with software updates like they did with AirPods Pro 1st gen.

Picked up a set of these and I’m loving them so far. Didn’t have the previous AirPods Pro, but used other brands. Looking forward to seeing what they are like on a flight compared to the Bose 700’s which are amazing for flights.

Tech Chav is #1! Great review.

Great review and improvements. Only the mic seems to be forgotten.

Very helpful review x thanks. Currently, using Shure SE series on Bluetooth, never come loose, great sounding earhooks with replaceable earbuds. Also Cambridge Melomania 1+ (small, convenient, great battery life, lovely mids) and Sony wfxm3. The AirPods Pro 2 might well be the first AirPods I'll get. Audio spatial, noise cancellation, very good call quality on windy conditions, great transparency and comfort as well as handy features.

Upgraded from the AirPods 3rd Gen to these and I’m blown away by the audio quality and noise cancelling. Usually not a fan of rubber tipped earbuds but these don’t give me that high pressure build-up feeling

I have switched from Raycon E-50 to the Pro2. My E-50's were purchased in 2019, and although I did not use the daily I was beginning to have some connectivity issues. Bit the bullet, and bought the pro2's since I have both an iPhone and an iPad. Have to say that the sound quality and noise cancellation are both excellent. Also, with all of the videos available, it was very easy to research brands and styles. Pricing was much more than I anticipated, but I do hear a significant difference. Also, I do like the menu and spatial audio options. Like many, I wish that they came in something other than white, but I did get a silicone case with a carabiner for a bit of extra protection. I think that I will find that I use these more than the E-50's, and if I get the same product life out of them (just under 3 years) it will be money well spent. Once in a while, I do deserve to treat myself to something that will improve my daily routine.

Got the airpod pro 2 a few days ago. Loving them so far. At airport noise cancellation was amazing. I kept getting the bad ear fit result regardless of size then i remembered i got ear tubes set in my ear drums by an ENT last year and consequently you can’t get a good seal! so i just use comfort as my size guide ..

I have the xm4 over the ear headphones. Love them. I would go for the in ear in a second. However the find my feature on the airpods 2 is fantastic.

Great review, yes I also upgraded myself to an AirPods Pro 2nd. One question, is the slitghly blured surroundings, is it a feature in the iPhone 14? Ricardo from Tokyo out.

Ive had the first gen since day one (although had them replaced once, and the replacements repaired). I had no interest in the new ones, but you know what YT is like. I am very happy with the new ones. I noticed a bit more low end right from the start. Not ‘Beats low end’, but fuller. I dont really use Spatial Audio for music, but even that sounds a bit better. The new ANC was the real deciding factor, and so far im not disappointed. I use them at work when using certain machine, and today i could definitely hear a big difference with the new ones. After months of using the old ones with this machine, today i hear much less of it.

What I've noticed about the ANC on these, is that sometimes they compensate for bad fit on one ear, I could pull one earbud out a little bit and it adjusts, thus giving me equal ANC in both ears, it really is a game changer compared to 1st gen, my left earhole is a bit bigger than the right one.

Great review! I’ve been playing around with mine over the weekend and really impressed so far. My old Airpod Pros developed a fault due to getting wet so it’s nice to have Transparency and ANC again. I’ll be more careful to avoid wearing these in the rain. 😊

This made me order some as my first airpods! Nice to see a KZfaqr in Wells!

A change from 53dB to 33dB doesnt mean halved, it actually means a decrease in sound energy by a factor of 100!

Oh that simulation effect was awesome

Great review! I am having a hard time choosing between airpods pro 2 and airpods max. The problem with in ears is they develop ear infection sometimes (I clean them I am just prone) but the airpods max they said is too heavy. I will use it primarily for travels, movies. But if I can also use it for work (online job requires me to talk to customers) it would also be better. Hard to choose! I wish they would release an airpods max 2nd gen that is lighter

Great review! Minor thing - when ambient sound went from ~60 dB to ~30dB, it’s not a reduction by half as the decibel scale is logarithmic :)

You are in the top list of youtube reviewers 🔥👍 Because of your brilliant content

Mines arrived yesterday after having had the first GEN for little over a year. my baby’s baby ( my dog’s puppy ) somehow got a hold of them last week and destroyed them so I had no choice. So far I must say I’m loving them!

great job ❤️ noise canceling is so good i wish i had one :)

Nice video, maybe next time you could record the sound of the wind with a regular mic alongside of the headphones. This gives us more reference points to judge :)

Seen other reviews before, but you mentioned some new and interesting points here. Like using the Db measurement of the Apple Watch to show the difference of ANC between the two versions of the Airpods Pro. Nice one!

I have just recently upgraded to the 14 Pro Max and use a set of Bose Sound Sport Wired Earphones. I’m looking at swapping them out for the AirPods Pro 2 at a later date, I want to be able to have a pair of ear buds that work in conjunction with the features on my phone.

I would upgrade purely to have volume control on my ear buds

I hope the quality in 2.gen is improved. I'm currently waiting my pods to come back from service for the third time. ANC is the problem, without it the buds worked well.

Lol that rick roll at the beginning!!! Totally awesome!

Bro, before, I buy any tech, I first have to cross check with your videos!! Your reviews are really helpful and well explained!!!

Wow, new cinematic 4K recording looks cool.

My take after a few days is that the bass gain is well worth the upgrade. The rest is just gravy.

Interesting review. Just to be a bit picky the Db (decibel scale) is logarithmic so halving the noise is a reduction of 3db so a reduction of 30db is a massive reduction

Your video is awesome 👌 👏 👍

I hear this guys voice only in my left ear. And come on dude the sound is noticeably better. I have both and it’s night and day.

They are more loud too, that's a really pleasant surprise.

Adaptive transparency is not only for new model air pod pros but but even the old model air pod pros. With the 16.1 update coming

The one thing I’m looking for, which every reviews fails to really talk about, is how well the microphone works in noisy atmospheres. I drive a truck, so I would LOOOOVE to be able to lose my big headset with microphone piece. Just using an earbud is so much more comfortable but most do not work, or work poorly to have a normal conversation while driving a truck. I wish you would do a more comprehensive test on the microphone.

Are you using a cover for your airpod pros? Just got mine and was wondering if it’s recommended? The bad point is just that most covers make them quite bulky and don’t support mag safe…

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?

Can you check if the xs tips are backwards compatible? Planning on getting those for my 1st generation
