Hi Guys,

So I purchased the Airpods Pro a Month back, Yes I was late to join the Band Wagon because I was not really sure if I would like sound profile of the Airpods Pro. I am still reasonably happy with my decision but in hindsight this thought comes to my mind was it a right choice against the other ear buds that I had shortlisted which is the Jabra Elite 75t. My main reasons of going with the Airpods Pro are the following.

Call me an Apple Fan Boy or whatever I dont care, but for me Apple is Synonymous with Life Easy Apple products are made to make the user life easy. So I am, and I plan to be in the Apple Eco System so keeping that in Mind it just makes a lot of sense to go for the Airpods Pro

I am a Hard Core BASS fan, I listen to Hard Techno, Progressive House kind of Dance Music which is only BASS. So having a BASS was a very serious point to consider. So I was in a dilemma when I was evaluating both the Jabra Elite 75t and the Airpods Pro but I chose to go with the APP for ease of Use and the Bass is not too bad on the Airpods Pro, Yes the Jabra Elite 75t IMO has just a slight better BASS but that is not like beating the Airpods Pro with a big margin.

So what I said to myself was, with a just marginal less BASS if the Airpods Pro with all its features like ANC, Ease of use, No Latency while watching Movies & Videos It made a lot of sense to got with the APP.

BUt now when I some YouTube review and comparison Videos between the Jabra Elite 75t and the Airpods Pro almost every Youtuber and reviews agree that the Jabra Elite 75t just sound Fantastic. So I am kind of thinking, there is this feeling of Buyers Remorse on if I made the right choice ? Sound Quality did matter most than anything else for me, but I dont know why I decided to go with the Airpods Pro !

What do you guys think on this ?

Jabra elite 75t does not work well outdoors e.g. while cycling etc. Frequent loss of signal is a major issue. Had the buds replaced but problem did not go away. Suggest stay away from Jabra if you are an outdoor person. One more comment on Jabra's service quality - POOR.

Most Youtubers’ opinion on sound quality is just as valuable as your mum’s on how good you look.
The AirPods Pro measure excellently well in various metrics. You may still prefer alternatives but it won’t be because they sound better, just that their tuning corresponds better to your preferences.

I have the Elite Active 65t and they get uncomfortable after about an hour. I recently got the APP and find them to be way more comfortable. The bass response is pretty good with a solid seal. I ordered the Comply tips to try as well.

Here's my experience:
Air pod pro - Not much deep bass (rtings.com show it going down as low as 49hz)
Amazon Echo buds - incredibly deep bass (rtings.com show it going down as low as 10hz)

I use the APP for watching films (Spacial audio) and I use a pair of Shure Aonic SE215 when on the bus.
