Airpods vs Airpod Pro - Honest review

[honglong1976]

Hi everyone,

I used to own the Airpods 2nd Gen. Here is my quick review of both (non-bias):

Airpods 2nd Gen
+ Light
+ Quick to charge
+ Open and clear sound quality
+ No silicon buds

- Sound just like the Earpods
- No deep bass
- Switching devices not as quick as something like the Bose SoundSport Free (press a button to switch paired devices)

Airpod Pro
+ Light
+ Superb noise cancellation
+ No noise cancellation pressure unlike Bose headphones
+ Finally some Bass (not as Deep as Amazon Echo Buds for example, but far better than the Airpods)
+ Decent battery
+ Open sound with good midrange
+ Easy to remove silicon buds

- Expensive
- Tricky to remove from case
- Switching devices not as quick as something like the Bose SoundSport Free (press a button to switch paired devices)

Switching Apple devices is about to become seamless if you believe company hype. Simply start audio on a new device to which you have been paired already, and your Airpods will begin to play.

You’ve probably gotten used to this by the time you read this. If not, give it 15 minutes.

Can anyone comment on difference between Beats Pro vs AirPods Pro? I'm on the fence of which I would prefer

One has no noise cancellation, bloated base and a huge charging case.

The other has noise cancellation, neutral sound and a small case.

I'll add on for the Airpods Pros, the Transparency Mode is probably the best I've experience so far.

Every other buds I've tried with transparency (goes by a differ name depending on manufacturer) sounds very artificial and is something you have to get used to.

On the AirPods Pro, it sounds very natural and you don't give it a second thought.

I was gonna say the same thing. They seem easy to remove to me.

There is a trick to remove them from case. Instead of trying to lift them just use your finger and pull each of the buds forward from the back, the case is built in a way that they pop out when you do that.
