- It has been a week with AirPods Pro
just I just wanted to do a follow-up video.
A lot of you guys had so many questions.
Do I like them?
What do I think?
How does it hold up in everyday use?
So far, it's been pretty good.
My only main concern with them
is again a lot of these in-ear things
do not work with my ears.
So I end up switching to the smallest little setting
on these silicone ear tips
and since I did that they have been
working out really great.
Initially, I thought I had to go to the larger version
because they kept falling out of my ears,
and then I went to the medium
and that one worked pretty well,
and then when I switched to the smallest version,
I was like, why didn't I just do that from the beginning?
'Cause it ended working out great.
So the sound quality has been awesome.
I haven't yet been on another flights
but I will be heading out pretty soon here
to do some traveling.
So the battery life has been pretty good so far.
You'll get about four and a half hours
when you have noise cancellation on.
And honestly that's really not that bad.
I mean, I was thinking, okay, four and a half hours,
that's not enough time for me to get
from the West Coast to the East Coast,
but with a five minute charge time
that will give you an extra hour,
so when you think about it in that sense,
that's enough time for me to get up,
go wait in line, go to the bathroom and come back,
and I will have over an hour of charge
added to my AirPods, and I travel so much,
and I've never really had an issue where my AirPods
have died on a flight.
Because of that quick charge,
that makes such a huge difference.
One of the things that I realized, I didn't even
touch on very much, is the sound quality
of these in my initial review.
For whatever reason, I just kept saying
that they sounded great, and it's really hard to describe.
I don't really know how to explain to you guys
what I'm hearing.
I just know that it sounds good.
It sounds way better than the previous
version of the AirPods.
It sounds better than most in your ear earbuds
that I've compared it to.
And right now, is such a weird time
because everyone is releasing wireless earbuds
and it's gonna be real hard to compete with the AirPods
because of how compact they are,
how sync directly to your phone.
Of course, you can use these with AirDroid
because they are Bluetooth.
Obviously, you won't have the same functionality
that you'll have with these as you do with iOS.
The thing that took me a little bit
of getting used to though
was this little button to answer calls,
two to skip, three to back and a long hold
will switch this from the various modes,
transparency to noise cancellation.
And the noise cancellation is pretty awesome.
I was kinda surprised, because these are so small.
The amount of noise cancellation that you get
is pretty shocking and since these are so tiny
I think it's gonna be kind of shocking
for a lot of people.
You're like, wait, how is this happening?
And another thing, a lot of noise canceling headphones
for me, I do have a lot of wiggered inner ear issues
so sometimes that noise cancellation
gives me this really weird pressure
especially these types of inner ear things.
I mentioned this also in my initial review,
but this has little air vents
that allow air flow to flow through the AirPod
and with that, I feel like that alleviates
a lot of that weird pressure
that you tend to get from these types of in your ear buds.
When I first got the original AirPods
I made a bunch of videos about it
and the weird thing was these did not fit in my ears.
Probably for the first few months,
like I just kept putting them in.
I would still wear them but eventually,
I think my ears they molded.
Like I adapted to the technology.
So now these obviously work so well.
They stay in my ears.
I've also found, and I know I can't be alone,
a lot of these types of earbuds,
if I put them in my ears and I smile
it does like a weird little scrunch
and they end up falling out.
So when I first did get these,
I don't know, like if they would
fall out when I would smile,
but look at me, I am a cheesing up a storm
and the AirPods have conformed to my body,
or the way, I have conformed to the AirPods.
Hear we go, let's do the smile test.
Something, oh, I've got the noise cancellation on.
Oh, gosh, it's so shocking.
So when you go in, this is in the volume controls,
you'll see that you have the noise cancellation.
You can turn it off, and if you do turn it off,
you'll just sort of hear the outside noises
such as basically sounds like you have AirPods in.
But with the transparency, I love the transparency thing.
The only issue that I have found
is because I have long hair.
This has microphones on the outside
that is allowing you to hear things around you.
So if you have long hair, your hair will sort of
rub on the outer microphones so that sound will
also be enhanced inside of your head
so it's like you can hear the hair on your head.
It's a weird feeling.
So it kinda sounds like just like I was rubbing
the microphone I'm wearing, so kinda like.
(microphone being rubbed)
But for you guys and gals that have short hair,
or if you pull your hair back, you won't have that problem.
(upbeat music)
So another thing that I'm really excited about the AirPods
is I bought a Bluetooth dongle for my Nintendo Switch
and I did a review on the Nintendo Switch
when the Switch came out the same time as the Switch Lite
and Nintendo actually send me this to try out
so thank you and, I've been absolutely loving it.
Sine I made this video, Luigi's Mansion just came out,
that was during Halloween and this game is so much fun.
But I know this is an AirPods video
so this little dongle allows me to use Bluetooth
so now I don't have to have my headphones on my Switch,
although I do look a little silly
with this just hanging out here
but at this point in my life,
I don't really care what I look like
so judge me for all you will.
And this is the internet
so that's definitely something you guys do.
I got a muffin though.
It's vegan.
Oh, wow.
That's better than I thought it was gonna be.
I can hear myself chewing because I have
the transparency mode on.
(upbeat music)
After using these for a week
are they worth the upgrade in price?
I definitely think they are,
mostly for that noise cancellation.
Just to be able to shut out the outside world
and to have better sound quality, I think it's worth it.
It is a big price difference
and if you don't wanna splurge and get the Pro
it doesn't even matter 'cause the regular
AirPods are still so incredible.
I haven't found anything that I have liked more.
The form factor of the case, even the bigger case for me
doesn't really make that much of a difference,
'cause it's really.
How come they're much bigger?
I don't know if you guys ever saw
the Insta360 video I did?
They have a little Insta360 Go
and it has a small little case just very similar to this.
And for a while I was carrying the Insta360 Go
everywhere I went, so I'd reach in my bag
and I'd always grab the Insta360 Go camera
instead of my AirPods.
So the size of this case is a lot more designed
to like the Insta360 Go case.
As a side note, I freakin love that little camera.
It's amazing.
So I guess, after a week of using the AirPods Pro
I still love them.
I actually love them more after using them for a week.
It connected very quickly to my phone,
to my laptop, so making that switch from device to device
is so seamless, so even now when I'm traveling
I usually do have a backup pair of headphones.
So now I'll be able to take my AirPods Pro
and my regular version as well just in case,
you never know when you might lose a pair of headphones,
and for me, basically like I rely on this because I'm always
on my phone, I'm always editing and basically
my entire life exists on the go.
As crazy as it is, I need to be able to just have
everything with me and have it accessible.
And so far the AirPods Pro, I'm a huge fan.
I would love to hear what you guys think.
Did you get them?
What are your initial first impressions if you do have them?
I would love to hear from you guys in the comments below.
And I will see you guys in the next video.
Don't forget to subscribe
and like this video if you liked it.
And I will be doing a little giveaway soon
of some Apple goodies for the holidays.
So be on the lookout for that.
I'll see you later, bye.
