"ANC and transparency/adaptive mode is phenomenal."
"The transparency mode on the AirPods Pro 2 is miles….miles …..miles better than the AirPods Pro 1s."
"When I was wearing the AirPods Pro 1 with the transparency set in accommodation mode I would bang the car door and want to remove the AirPods. The bang was so loud because of the sensitivity. The AirPods Pro 2s removes that completely."

"they have better ANC than almost anything I've tried, over-ear or not ... my new ANC test is the mower and a circular saw."
"I’ve used this at concerts and near incredibly loud speakers. ... I do amateur woodworking and wearing them when the drill goes off, helps keep me grounded."
"they work great as earplugs while driving my car with a loud exhaust, blocks almost all sound out while the noise canceling on the Bose headphones doesn’t come close. ... If I wasn’t using my AirPods I’d be using earplugs."

"The best unexpected feature for me is that they are findable on my iPhone - the case and buds are individually searchable and you can even use the iPhone as a homing device that shows you an arrow leading you towards them. ... As someone who misplaces my buds about 3x a day, this is indispensable."
"And APP has the significant edge in connectivity (pairing with iPhone/macbook)"
"Since you re on iPhone the best option is AirPods Pro 2."

"still have quality sound and bass ... With a slight adjustment in the bass on Spotify + spatial sound, the Airpods fly! The bass and quality of the Airpods almost reach the same level as the XM4!"
"honestly the jump from app1 to app2 was massive, much better tuning and ANC, alot of smart features added after the fact via free updates such as conversation awareness, adaptive audio, and hearing protection which works well at live venues (I used it at a show, it was great)."
"And I’m sorry but as weird as this sounds the AirPod pro2 sounds better."

"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 love my AirPod pros for running ... They’ve never ever fallen out."
"stay in my ears."

"the pros left me with a non healing scrape in my left ear that I could never find a reasoning for. ... apparently I wasn’t the only one to have this mystery effect. ... the AirPod pro 2s were 100% better (with the exception of them injuring my ear lol)"
"I must have big ears. ... I could not get a solid fit. ... Move-around stability and ANC were atrocious, I’m sure because of the fit."
"hated the in-ear buds. so uncomfortable for longer than 30 minutes usage."

"The ANC is not remotely what it used to be now."
"The APP2’s ANC was great at first, but then they seem to nerf it with subsequent updates."
"over time I feel that the noise cancellation is being lost."
0000GKP 1.0You just like the thought of it or do you actually use them in conditions where that would be helpful. I’ve used EarBuds, Pro 1, and Pro 2 during workouts and in light rain with no issues at all. I tend to get out of the rain in downpours or at least use an umbrella, so don’t plan on ever putting that to the test.
010490 1.0I use AirPods Pro 2 for gym treadmill runs and shokz openrun pro 2 mini outdoors.
025bw 1.0airpods pro but it sounds like shit XD good for calls tho
04HondaCivic 1.0Honestly? Even though I haven’t tried any other wireless headphones? AirPods Pro 2. Maybe go for the 3rd gen now that they’re out. Unless you’re an audiophile and very discerning with your sound, these are excellent. They work seamlessly with iOS devices. They sound decent. Noise canceling works great. Call quality is great. You can talk outside. Inside. In the wind. With noise around you. People can still hear you. They are comfortable. You can leave them in even when not using them and they automatically turn on transparency mode so you can hear those around you. Battery life is enough. Especially with the case they will recharge them in minutes.
0k_Interaction 1.0I’m also interested in this. I use AirPods Pro 2 most of the time. They work but I don’t love them. I was looking for wired headphones as well.
0x537 1.0can confirm: got Pro 2 V5.3 HR+ from Jenny, ANC is OKish with music ON, but non-existant without
0xfreeman 1.0same here, couldn't get a good fit with any of the tips. I'm not sure I have a deformed head, but it also crackled a lot (probably the foam expanding/contracting) when I talked with it, which was truly annoying. Never had that with any of the previous versions, so sticking with my Pro 2 for the time being...
0xKim 1.0AirPods Pro 2 for earbuds and Sennheiser Momentum 4 for headphones. Both work well.
16December1971 1.0Put in a bit more and get the pro 2. They are at terrific discounts world over right now.
2floppy 1.0Having owned both, the air pod pro 3 have insane ANC whereas the pro 2 have better noise transparency.
