ANC and the fit is the issue, fit same as v1 when I tried them.
ANC works if you crank the volume great for your hearing.

If you’re not getting a good fit with the AirPods Pro, you’re definitely not going to get good ANC with an in-ear bud. The seal is critical to them working properly.

That’s maybe why you are experiencing dissatisfaction where almost everyone else is hugely impressed…

Find that hard to believe, anyway don't like the fit on me so will be returning.
If they don't fit then the ANC won't be effective. The 'definitely not rocket science' modus operandi is the tips form a physical seal, and the passive noise reduction caused by that physical seal is supplemented by the ANC. If the 'physical seal' is not happening then the ANC is compromised.
Like I said, it's not rocket science.

Exactly, for now, they are the best wireless buds on the market and hard to beat by anyone this year since all the major companies already release their own buds
Although I'm not sure if custom spatial sound has been taken into account in the test, that is difficult to reproduce even if the tests are done with a doll and the headphones on the ears.

just picked up my AirPods Pro 2 - Will compare them to my Pro 1's.

First thing I noticed is the magnets are stronger in Pro 2's noticeably more force required to take them out of the case. Maybe the magnets on the Pro's 1 got weaker over time, not sure.

Case is same size as Pro 1's.

Picked mine up at the Apple Store about an hour ago. Best feature: the XS silicone tips. While the S tips fit quite well when I'm not moving my head a lot and not talking/chewing, the XS tips stay in no matter how hard I try to get them loose.
Interesting. Mine arrive on Monday. I always thought my airpods Pro 1 fit well, but whenever I used to watch Game Grumps they would fall out ever so slowly as I would be smiling and laughing. I guess I should try a smaller ear tip.

Great, they don't fit your ears so obviously to you they sound crap and the ANC is obviously not going work because of that, so you're returning them. I'm not sure what else you want us to say.

At first I wasn't interested. Today I will be trying to snag one from the apple store app for local pick up Miami. I did not pre order. I currently been using AP pro's gen 1 since 9/2019. I believe its time for an upgrade. I also have $150 gift card from the MBAM2 I bought from the educational website during that release.

Be rude not to use that gift card then! :D
