[Help] Some Questions About AirPods Pro

[Dharma-P]

Hi!

I really am a rookie when it comes to technology, so I have a hard time picking a new set of earbuds. I hope someone can help me answer some questions about the AirPods Pro. I'll list them down below and I will appreciate it a lot if someone could answer (some of) them. I'm currently using BeatsX but they died again after a few months. Right now I can't decide if I should buy the Airpods Pro or another Beats earbuds.

1) Will AirPods Pro fall out of your ear easily, especially if you wear winter hats or hoodies?
2) How is the sound quality compared to a BeatsX (I really love great bass)?
3) How fast do they break (in conjunction with normal drops)?
4) Is it worth the money, compared to other alternatives?

1)The AirPods before kept in my ears fine and with the silicone ear tips I feel like they would be Moore secure so you should be ok

2) they sound more bassy then the OG ones from what I’ve seen


3)the og AirPods was pretty durable so I assume the same


4) the only other alternative with ANC is really the Sony WF-1000XM3 and those are $20 less.

Get the AirPods! I previously had a pair of Beats X which I really loved. After a little over a year, one side went out and they were done. I replaced them with the AirPods 2nd gen and I was immediately amazed at how great the AirPods sound compared to the beats X. The AirPods actually sounded better!! They didn’t have quite as much bass but the AirPods sounds have a surprising amount of bass for their design. Not to mention they are far more comfortable.

So naturally when Apple announced the AirPods Pro, I bought them instantly. Mine are still on the way, but I think it’s fair to assume that with noise canceling, an in ear design and new sound drivers, these will be even better than my current AirPods.

One Youtuber actually compares the AirPods pro to the Powerbeats pro and he said the sound quality on the AirPods was almost identical! Then when you activate the noise canceling feature, it’s even better. So I think the choice should be pretty clear.

As for value. Keep in mind that the AirPods with the wireless charging case is $199. The AirPods pro (which also come with a wireless charging case) is $249. So for only $50 more, you get ANC, new sound drivers, and a new design which is supposedly very comfortable.

Thanks for the response (both of you). I would love to hear how the BeatsX stacks up to the AirPods Pro (especially bass wise), so do let me know when yours arrives !

I will definitely report back when mine arrive later today. In the meantime, this is the review I was talking about. He compares the AirPods Pro to the Powerbeats Pro. The Powerbeats Pro are already far better than the Beats X so if the AirPods Pro can come close to the Powerbeats then we’ve got a real winner!

On a side note, I actually owned the Powerbeats Pro before getting my AirPods. They sounded amazing by the ear hook was hurting my ears after a short amount of time and the charging case was too cumbersome to carry around so I returned them a couple hours later and got the AirPods.
