"If you use Apple devices, it integrates perfectly with the ecosystem."
"I unlock my computer and phone with it."
"the fact that they integrate to the Apple Watch simply cannot be understated for me, I couldn’t go back to Garmin now, it is just so much part of my life now. ... Tracking weightlifting workouts, nutrition and other stuff, analysis of the data, send messages to HomePod, changing NC automatically, sending emails …."

"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"I use it literally 18 hours or more a day and I can personally say, they don't hurt my earholes. ... They stayed on even after a 3 hour nap in bed, lying down."
"I have the ear shape where in-ear headphones always make a loud bumping sound when I'm moving, so AirPods 4 give the benefits of noise cancelling and great sound without the in-ear effect. ... AirPods 3 always fell out my left ear but they dialed in the size perfect for the 4's, they sit perfect and I've never had it fall out or shake loose doing sprints and a full marathon."

"amazing battery (literally all day at work without going into the case)"
"Ok it's great I had them playing for more than 6 hrs with ANC and they didn't die ... Soundcore says about 10hrs and I think it's pretty true you can at least get 8 hrs without ANC and with ANC I reckon at least 7 hrs. ... The case can charge UpTo 3 times and combined Anker says 40 hrs of play time which I think is pretty accurate."
"Long-lasting! Swear! Hahaha. Halos everyday ko siyang gamit and once a week ko lang siya need i-charge"

"great seal I get from them ... a big part of the ANC effectiveness ... so for me its the fit/seal for both ANC and sound quality"
"While the ANC of AirPods Pro is hard to beat"

"They're pretty water resistant, I've (accidentally) sent them through the wash in my pants pocket and they still work just fine."
"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"I've run in the rain with them, and run them through the wash (accidentally!) a few times, and occasionally wear them in the shower and they still work great."

"my right ear which was operated on when I was very young never really had a good ear canal for in-ear type earbuds, which made me return the Pixel buds pro"
"They are constantly falling out and I have tried several different tips . ... They are to heavy to stay seated in my ears. ... I won't even use them in my shop!"
"they just kept falling out."

"the bass sounds are nonexistent ... my 30$ EarPods have much better bass sounds ... So if you listen to a lot of bass-heavy music, stay away from these. ... I had to spend a lot of time with equalizer to make them usable."
"not sound quality ... Samsung buds pro 2 sound way better than apple's ... bowers and Wilkins pi6 and pi8 even better sound quality again than this"
"these are by far the worst when compared to price. ... They remind me of those old school wired headphones youd get at the dollarstore, thats how bad the sound quality is to me."

"AirPods are built to last a year the then they fail. ... Every year, right after the warranty expires, one ear bud fails its almost a joke to us at this point. ... we've had 8-9 pairs of air pods fail ... One of the air pods just quit working on all the sets they've had..."
"Three months later, one earbud stopped working."
"I got 2 pairs of these and both sets had one bud die after less than 5 runs. ... I suspect these might not be good options for those who sweat heavily."

"couldn't use them for phone calls at all. ... Sound quality on phone calls was still just bad. ... I have to put them out to be able to make a call."
"But their mic performance on the outdoors is worse than trash."
"whenever you use them for voice comms, the reproduced audio quality goes to the crapper — limited bandwidth. ... But it does not work well in clam shell mode with MacBook Air M1. (At least with mine it did not a few eons ago.)"

"the noise esp for shooter/online games are terrible"
"The only device I notice audio latency is with the quest 2, and 3. It's required to have wired there imo. I can't think straight in a fps if my audio isn't in sync with gun shots, it really fucks with me."
"If you are into FPS games and ms latencies, the AirPods are gonna irk you terribly."
Abateka 1.0I using airpods gen 4 non anc. I can say its okay but im planning to buy sony linksbuds S. so i can use easily for multiple devices connected
aluminumnek 1.0I have the regular series 4. I use them everyday, though I would have liked to have gotten the pro2 on sale simply for its hearing aid feature
diaperpoop_ 1.0I just use Soundpeats GoFree2, which is an open earbud with an ear hook. I loved Airpods until the new design just keeps falling off my ears, and I can’t deal with buds due to sensitive ears. I also tried Shokz but had to return it since it didn’t sound right to me.
dmaterialized 1.0The pro 2s didn’t fit me at all but both the pro 3s and the regular 4s are very comfortable. The pro 3s are the best headphones I’ve ever owned.
Effective-Fish-5952 1.0I've used 1st gen Airpods since I got them like 5 years ago and they don't have ANC and they are the best earphones I've ever used. $89 for non-ANC Airpods 4. If these are your first Airpods I recommend just go with the $89 ones. I assume 4th gen Airpods are much better than 1st gen.
Fragrant_Aardvark 1.0Bought Airpods 4 (without noise cancelling) and msteams/webex audio is very, very low. Other windows sounds are fine. Took it to our corporate helpdesk & the guy was in disbelief he couldn't fix it, but he couldn't. * Airpods 4 (without noise cancelling) - not compatible * Airpods 4 (with noise cancelling) - ? * Airpods Pro 2 - ? I actually bought a refurb pair of Airpod 2's from Amazon & they're fine, but I hate myself for buying them (and for losing my old ones). Also hate the pros, I don't like that rubber thing in my ear. So I guess my question is do new Airpods 4 (with noise cancelling) work well with msteams? I get this is a driver issue, so it'll probably be fixed later but I don't want to assume that.
General_Task_7509 1.0I got without anc and they are great
GrabMysterious1622 1.0I got the 4s without ANC for Christmas (I sent my sister the wrong ones and she ordered what I sent). For the price it’s worth it. They fit great in the ear, the sound quality is decent, and if you’re in a work area and put them loud enough you can’t hear outside noise. That being said, I work in New York and during my commute no matter how loud they are you can hear everything outside your music. I would say great if you’re on a budget or live in the suburbs but if you walk a lot in the city you will be disappointed. (I’m not ungrateful though. I will use this until they die or I get pushed in front of a subway)
hil364 1.0So am I Too much issues with airpods pro anc ecc,airpods 4 no anc super quality
So am I, Airpods 4 super quality,better without anc,I have had always issues with anc,+ airpods 4 are cheaper
Airpods 4 super quality,better without anc,I have had always issues with anc,+ airpods 4 are cheaper
Icy_Guide5251 1.0I just got the ones without noise cancellation and I don't understand why some people are against of if. My friend has the ones with ANC and it's just something i don't need. If you don't need it then why bother overpaying? The sound is no different, so if you've used earphones without ANC in the past and never considered it an issue then it won't be now as well. You'd have to try both
