[Technology] Apple AirPod Pro

Herr Tubthumper · Jun 2, 2021

I have just upgraded my regular AirPods to the Pro version. The snug fit is a bit weird and occasionally makes me feel a bit “off balance” when I walk. And forget the noise cancellation for the same reason. Will I get used to this?

And the pure white rubber things are surely going to look manky and grubby after a few weeks of use?

Come on people, please reassure me I’ve made the right decision here.

Jaw dropping?

That's jaw dropping.

The Egyptian Pyramids, the moon landing, Barb's mustard jumper, Usain Bolt only needing to run 80mtrs, Ali fighting Foreman, The Grand Canyon and AirPod Pro2's new features...

...Jaw dropping.

I expect the only way to really tell would be to literally compare them side by side. Perhaps some YouTuber has.

I expect the apple ones will be much better build quality and better quality components in general and you'd probably have to run them through specialist software to find out any audio differences, but there will be some.

I've had these for about a year, solid bit of kit:-

Bought my teenage daughter these. They are really good, great sound and under £30 I'm not paranoid if she looses them. 200,000+ decent reviews too.

I use AirPod Pro's when I am in my office due to the noise cancelling if I make a phone call.

I have the original AirPods at home and put it this way, I would not be in a rush to take the pro's home. I prefer the fit of the original AirPods.

No idea on how the quality compares. What I can say is Gruff Rhys’ truly beautiful new long player called Seeking New Gods got the opening slot on these new pods and it sounds great.

The fit of the originals is where I’m at. These news ones seal my ears off….and it’s off putting.

HT is our best champagne socialist by miles, i cant believe some of these posts about sets for c£30. This is what we should recommend, on £3,399.

They’re nice but I’m not entirely sure about the colour.

Which in a nutshell sums up the consumer habits of Apple fans since 1984.

Try wearing them when you haven’t had 5 pints of ( craft beer with very long name ) to see if your balance improves. :wink:

Do they fit snugly into a man bag?
If affirmative, you've made the right decision; otherwise, not.

I doubt their profit margins reflect this.
