Airpods pro.

I guess.

Ah, lot of people care about these.

Airpods became the most popular headphones on planet Earth pretty quickly, within about two or three years of them coming out, and so smartly, Apple's decided to follow up with and capitalize on that with a professional version of them a k a.

One with noise cancellation and a couple extra new features.

They're pretty good.

So we all know there $250 I'm not actually replacing Airpods to as much as they're living on the site alongside them.

And so they're not just the new air pods, but they're also the best of their pots.

So in that impressions video, I went over each of the new features of airpods pro and what it does.

And so now that I've been using them for about a week, it's time to go over how good each of those things actually is.

So let's start with the new design, the ever so memorable new design.

I think they're fine.

I'm not really in love with any year but design at the moment.

So really, any improvement from Airpods, too, is good to see, so the stems here are shorter, which is good.

It technically brings the microphone further from your mouth, but they sound just as good for phone calls.

Then, at the bottom of the stem, you have a force sensor instead of touch sensor now, so you're squeezing to play pause, double squeezing to move to the next track.

Long squeeze to turn on noise.

Cancellation Those annoying at first because the shorter stem is a bit closer to the side of your head, the way they fit.

But then I got used to just squeezing the sides.

Normally, the only bummer is there's no volume control from the buds at all.

I honestly think that might be my least favorite thing about the design.

I really don't want to have to ask Siri to change the volume every time.

Hands free.

Maybe that's just me, anyway.

They fit into this landscape magnetic case that honestly is still pretty small.

It's bigger than the old Air Pots case, but it's still easily fits in a pocket, and a lot of other wireless earbuds cases have come to the studio lately, and they're consistently typically much bigger than the air pots case to the point where some of them aren't even really pocketable.

I can still fit the airpods pro case in the tiny pocket I never used inside the pocket in my genes.

So yeah, not a problem here.

But of course, the most important difference with Airpods Pro is the silicon ear tips instead of the hard plastic going into years turns out to be a major win for a lot of people like me who literally can't wear regular airpods for more than about three minutes before they're just sliding out.

These actually stay in my years.

I can walk around, move more than normal work out, and they create a nice little seal.

And that's already a big functional difference.

But the important thing for earbuds people is that the seal isn't uncomfortable.

So typically, when you put your buds like this inter ears, you're also pushing air into your ear to which can be uncomfortable because it creates a bit of pressure there.

But with their pods pro the past through cut out that lets air through equalizes pressure.

And by the time you're wearing them and honestly makes it easy to forget, you're wearing earbuds, even for someone like me who doesn't wear earbuds very often, which is impressive.

So you get them in your ear.

They're comfortable.

They've solved the first major problem, which is staying in your ear.

The next question is, how do they sound?

So I have two answers.

When the noise cancellation is off, they sound just like regular airpods.

They're fine.

When knows cancellation is on, they do sound dramatically better.

Their pods pro get really loud to the point where I never need them at full volume.

And most, if not all the improvements in the actual sound are as a direct result of you having indecent seal now instead of no seal at all before offer you to Quinn from snazzy labs for an audio files perspective on exactly how airpods sound, in which he describes them as mid heavy.

And I completely agree.

But I'll let you check out his excellent video.

I'll let get below.

So that being said, let's talk about that noise cancellation.

This is its biggest strength, so there's three modes noise canceling off and transparency mode, and the nose cancellation is really impressive to me.

With ear buds, they do well in noisy environments, but they're at their best with you.

No more consistent white noise.

So something like the din of a coffee shop or being in a car on a road trip where we're even on an airplane.

You know, I was just thinking about it recently.

This because of the feature set being so unique.

This is, I think, my only pair of noise canceling open back earbuds just very strange.

But I do love that.

They do notice cancellation.

Now you can't control the level of noise cancellation, but it makes everything sound better.

And people who previously have only used you know, airpods or other headphones that don't do this will love these.

Then there is transparency mode, which I almost was equally impressed by, so uses the microphones built in to pass through audio around you.

And it's this really natural sounding, passed through with maybe a little bit of hiss or exaggeration at the high end.

But in general, it sounds like you're just not wearing anything in your ears at all, which makes it easier.

Forget that you're wearing them, so this is a good mode.

If you're, you know, walking or running next to a road, or you're on a plane waiting to hear the announcements or just generally don't want to be totally isolated from your environment.

Thanks.

Oh, and then there's the regular just on mode in the middle, which doesn't really do anything crazy with noise, cancellation or transparency.

It just turns the earbuds on and saves a bit of battery.

This one just sounds like you're wearing airpods with silicon tips.

Not amazing sound, but you do have a little bit better of a ceiling and typically would for battery overall.

For Airpods pro, Apple says four and 1/2 hours with noise canceling or transparency on five hours with noise canceling off.

I kept it on all the time.

I got about four hours.

That's not a full flight sometimes, which is interesting.

But the quick charge in the case is at least convenience.

So if you do get low, you can plug in for a couple minutes and get an hour of charge out of that, and they charge by a lightning.

So a couple of f ake use number one.

Do they work with Android?

Yes, Now they will again not be the best for Android.

They lose some of the convenience features.

The auto play pause, this Siri, of course, integration.

But they do work as Bluetooth.

Your butts.

Can you use third party custom silicon tips or replace them with foam tips that you might like better?

No.

As far as I know, this connection between the ear bud is actually proprietary.

So definitely try not to lose them because you're stuck with what comes in the box.

Or you can go for the $4 replacement tips straight from Apple.

Surprisingly reasonably priced.

Are they good for workouts?

Sure, I've done it.

They are sweat proof, technically, their I p x for water resistant, which means you can sweat on them and they survived for me.

But if I was looking specifically for workout headphones, I would look more towards something like the power beats pro, which will specifically stay in my ear better and get beat up more and be fine.

But if you want just one pair of ear buds to be fine for everything, yes, these will survive a work out better than the previous air pots.

So then our airpods pro the best wireless earbuds, Yes, but no but yes, but no like their headphones that sound better.

The Sony W F 1000 x m three's, for example, uh, terrible name.

These do sound better in their pots.

They also have better noise cancellation than Airpods Pro.

They also have a longer battery life than Airpods pro.

They also have better customization, and they're apt than Airpods.

Pra like these are technically better headphones, for sure.

But the airports pro nail so many things about everyday use, like the case size for one.

That's a pretty dramatic difference.

And also as dumb as these might look, There are some other designs that are way dumber, and you do get used to the stock thing, and it just ends up being natural.

And, of course, the fast charging is convenient and the H one chip so that it pairs instantly with any iPhone you want and then the rest of the apple ecosystem and it blending in with IOS 13.

So well, all of this stuff more than makes up for it.

They're not audiophile grade headphones.

They're not great dedicated workout headphones.

They're not the perfect headphones for flying, but if I could only pick one pair of ear buds to do all of this stuff with.

I would pick airpods pro, and a lot of people are gonna make that choice there imperfectly.

Perfect.

Is that a word?

That's probably not a word.

But you know what?

That's still gonna be a title.

So that's been it.

That's my airpods pro review.

They're really good.

And just for fun.

Since you all made it this far.

If you head over to Twitter ought to be giving away a second pair of air pods so you can check these out.

I'm gonna give away this pair of de branded airpods pro.

Of course, the headphones and the case on Lee come in white.

So you might as well get some color going and customized the case.

So you know exactly which one's yours.

When they start showing up everywhere, details will be below, but sometime in the next 24 hours, look for that tweet.

That's been it.
