You never know when these might go on sale.
OK, let’s get started with the unboxing.
So the first thing we see is the
documentation or instructions here on top,
and then there's the wireless charging
case with the AirPods Pro inside.
This is a USB-C charging cable.
A large and a small ear tip.
So, there they are. Apple AirPods Pro.
The 10 Best features of the Apple AirPods Pro include:
Active noise cancellation
Transparency mode. So you can hear sounds around you
while you're listening to music.
Ear Tip Fit Test
Automatic Ear Detection. This is an automated sound control when you insert
or remove your AirPods Pro from the ear.
Live Listen. This turns your iPhone into a wireless microphone
and transmits sound to your ears.
Spatial audio. This creates a surround sound experience for TV & movies.
Headphone accommodations. This provides a customized sound for music,
media, and all the sounds around you according to your hearing preferences.
H1 chip. This provides quick, on board audio processing.
Sweat and water resistant (IPX4) This means it's resistant to splashing water.
Long Battery Life. You have more than 24 hours of battery life
if you recharge in the case several times.
You have about 4.5 hours of battery life per charge.
So, I’ve now had the opportunity to use the AirPods Pro for a week,
and I’d like to share my pros and cons.
First for the Pros.
The automatic noise cancellation is very effective when you have a good seal in the ear canal.
I was impressed how much sound it blocks out.
The AirPods Pro also work
with the Apple Health App so you can look at the
sound level monitoring to know if your music is getting too loud.
The AirPods Pro automatic stop your music when you remove an AirPod,
and resume playing when you put it back in your ear.
This is really useful if you're removing an AirPod to talk to someone,
and don't want to miss anything.
The AirPods Pro work great for Zoom calls or for any phone call.
You can use Transparency mode which allows you to hear the sounds around you,
so you can also hear and monitor your own voice level.
I’ve used other headphones on calls before and I always struggled to hear myself when I'm speaking,
so this is a huge benefit to using this product.
Headphone accommodations give you the option to run an in-the-ear calibration
to customize how the AirPods Pro play sound.
You can emphasize speech sounds for better clarity and understanding
while using the custom transparency mode.
This is similar to what a hearing aid can do.
I still recommend that anyone with hearing concerns see their local audiologist or physician for an evaluation
and a hearing aid consultation if it's appropriate.
For more information on headphone accommodations,
make sure to check out my video in the suggested videos above.
The AirPods Pro automatically work with other compatible devices logged into your iCloud account.
So, I can easily use them with an iPhone and then switch to an iPad or other Apple
device within my iCloud account without re-pairing them each time.
Siri uses the AirPods Pro to read you your text messages.
And you just speak back your response. You don't even have to look at your iPhone.
The charger case is very convenient since you have access to multiple charges.
Everytime you place your AirPods Pro in the case, they will begin to charge.
I appreciate how they're shorter and more compact than the original AirPod design.
Ok, now for the Cons.
I noticed that the ear tip seal within my ear canal is not always secure. Each AirPod works
its way out of my ear gradually, and I have to adjust them occasionally.
You have three types of ear tip sizes you can pick from.
Make sure to complete the Ear Tip Fit Test to find the best seal.
I can change the volume on the AirPods using Siri, with the volume control on my iPhone, or using the
digital crown on an Apple Watch. However, there's no way to change the volume directly on the
AirPods Pro. I would also like to be able to mute my microphone directly by touching the AirPod.
So for my final thoughts.
Overall, I really enjoy using the AirPods Pro and
I definitely recommend them to anyone using Apple products.
They will work with non-Apple bluetooth devices, however you must use them with Apple products
to take full advantage of all the features within iOS 14.
The ease of use across all of your iCloud devices makes this product especially attractive.
