Surprised at Audio Quality

[Devin Breeding]

Just picked up some standard Airpods (gen 2) after I cleaned my J-Labs and ruined the mesh piece on in the channel. Oops... I wanted the form factor of the original apple earbuds because they are much nicer to lay on for nighttime books and podcasts. I cared less about audio quality and more about the form factor without the rubber tips.

I have to say though, the audio quality is much better than I expected. $20 off at BestBuy too.

Yeah, they do sound noticeably better than the wired EarPods. Was a pleasant surprise once I got mine. I also just got them for convenience, really.

I totally agree that the AirPods gen 1 & 2 are the easiest buds to lay on your pillow with. My AirPods Pro’s are more noticable if I try to use them in bed. It’s not impossible but they don’t disappear as much as the AirPods 2.

I have been using AirPods for years. Their sound quality is something I’m very very happy with. And I have a nice gaming headset and have used higher quality headsets in the past (grado, sennheiser, etc).

My point is I expected them to be more flat like the standard free wired AirPods. Did not buy them for sound quality but for form.

Nice pic, did you solder those together youself?

I have the earpods and airpods 2 and to be honest they sound exactly the same.

Check out rtings comparison of both of them.

The Airpod pro however, do sound different.
