Hey guys it’s Angelika with Max Tech, and I’ve been using the airpods pro for over a year now,
and today I want to talk about my experience with them, give you my personal thoughts and opinions,
and let you know about the one big disappointment i have with these earbuds.
First I want to talk about the case. This case is fantastic.
It feels great and really high quality. It’s the most compact and comfortable case in my opinion.
The hinge is amazing, and to this day the best hinge of any wireless earbud case.
The Samsungs hinges are pretty awful honesty, especially the older bud models. Along with
that all the galaxy buds cases don't feel nearly as premium. They feel very cheap in comparison.
The magnet in the case holding the airpods is really strong and secure. You can drop
the airpods in and they'll snap in perfectly, unlike most galaxy buds
cases that have a much weaker magnet making the buds feel not very secure.
The case also comes with wireless charging which is great. The amber charging light
turns on very quick, much faster than the Samsung buds which take twice as long.
This isn't super important but it's a little pet peeve of mine.
Now talking about the design and comfort, I love how these look. I know that a lot of people think
they look pretty dumb, but i personally think they look great and high quality.
They're also extremely comfortable! These are the only truly comfortable earbuds I've tried.
I forget I even have them in. All of the samsung earbuds hurt my ears, especially the seal-ins.
I wanted to test out the Galaxy Buds Pro for a week and see how they compare to these Airpods
Pro that I use every day, but they were so incredibly uncomfortable for me, that I couldn't
even wear them for more than a couple minutes. I have very small ears so that's definitely why.
They were totally fine for Max and he actually really enjoys Samsungs earbuds. But unfortunately
they are not for me. So if you're like me and have small ears, I’d for sure say get the airpods pro.
Another feature that makes these so comfortable,
is the built in vent that equalizes pressure, so you don’t get that suction feeling in your ears.
The tips are also super easy to replace and they're very secure. My only complaint about
comfort are the stems. They always get in the way and fall out when you're changing your
shirt . They're also pretty uncomfortable when you're laying down on your side,
which sucks because I love using these airpods in bed.
Now moving on to controls, the pressure sensitive stem is amazing.
It’s super easy to use and it’s very consistent. I hate other brands’ methods of touch controls.
The Galaxy Buds Pro were so frustrating for me, because any time I would try to adjust the buds,
it would pause my music or skip tracks. So you can't even touch them.
So I had a terrible personal experience with those, and they made me appreciate these airpods
even more. I really don't want to sound like an apple sheep, but this is honestly how i feel.
Pairing is super easy and quick. Its really easy to switch between devices,
and easy to reset these airpods if need be.
The mic quality is really good. I’ve asked people how I sound, and they always say I
sound loud and clear. Here’s a mic comparison for you guys, let me know what you think.
A nice upgrade with these compared to the previous airpods, is water resistance. These
have an IPX4 water resistance rating, so they’re fully sweatproof, and have water resistance.
I’ve dropped them in water once or twice for a split second
and they were completely fine thank goodness! However with the previous airpods,
I dropped one in water once for a second, and it completely messed up the airpod.
So these being able to withstand some water is really great. However the newest Galaxy buds
pro have a rating of IPX7, which means they are fully waterproof and can be in a meter of water
for up to 30 minutes and be totally fine! Which is awesome, so if waterproofing is
a concern for you, you might want to consider galaxy buds for peace of mind.
Now lets get into noise cancellation and the transparency mode. The noise
cancellation is really good. It gets rid of almost all the low rumbling noise,
you can still hear some higher frequency sounds, but if you're playing music with this mode on,
you won't hear anything. And with that, ANC also increases audio quality
since other sounds cant get in the way, so your listening experience is definitely heightened.
For me personally, I get anxiety when not being able to hear and be aware of my environment,
so perfect ANC isn't something I'm honestly too interested in. I can't imagine the ANC
disappointing anyone, unless you work with like a jackhammer every day or something.
The transparency mode is also honestly really good! Everything sounds
pretty realistic and normal. I use this mode all the time and love it.
Now I'm no audiophile, but the sound quality is really good to me! I was amazed the first time
i used them. The highs and mids are great! The only thing it possibly lacks are the lows. The
bass is a little weak, especially compared to the Galaxy Buds pro, which has nice loud bass.
But it obviously comes down to personal preference and music you're listening to.
Now let's talk about the main disappointment I have with these airpods,
and that is the battery life. These will give you about 5 hours of constant playback with
ANC enabled. Now i don't use ANC mode that often, so i'm usually in transparency mode,
which uses less battery. However the battery life still isn’t very good. For me and my use patterns,
if I'm using these airpods, I'm usually using them for long periods of time.
Ill put these in at full battery and use them until they eventually die,
and I have to stop and charge them before I can continue what I was doing.
I really do wish the battery life was a bit better. Luckily
charging doesn't take long. 5 minutes in the case gives you an hour of listening time.
Now let's talk about the Price. $250 is pretty expensive for a pair of earbuds, but
honestly they’re so worth it! I was slightly hesitant to purchase them because of the price,
but i was so happy I did, and I don't regret it for a second.
These airpods were one of my best and most worth it investments.
These have everything I want in a pair of wireless earbuds. They sound amazing and they're so
incredibly comfortable. The battery life isnt amazing but charging them up in the case is super
fast. Its not too much of an inconvenience. If you're looking to buy a pair of wireless earbuds,
these are definitely amazing and I doubt they will disappoint!
However! You may want to wait a bit, because Apple will be releasing Airpods Pro 2
this year! And I want to quickly go over the leaks and rumors we've been hearing about them!
Mark Gurman claimed that the AirPods Pro 2 will come with a brand new,
circular design and an upgraded Wireless chip.
If they do drop the stem that would be amazing, and i could see a lot of people buying or
upgrading for that alone. Especially since a lot of people don't enjoy the look of the stems.
This design could allow for a bigger battery, so
we would probably see some battery life improvements which would be great!
Apple, in October, was granted a patent for in-air gesture input for AirPods, so if the new AirPods
Pro 2 on’t come with a stem, this technology would actually make sense, and would be better
than touch controls, since the experience with those on the buds pro for example isn't great.
They also included a couple of other ideas, like putting in a tactile structure like
a crown on the AirPods themselves. Ming chi kuo claimed that the AirPods
Pro 2 will be coming in April, May or June of 2021. There are also a lot of rumors about new
airpods gen 3 coming out, so check out vadims leaks and rumors video! He’s compiled a lot of
very interesting information if you guys are wondering about the next upcoming AirPods.
So if you're interested in buying a pair of AirPods Pro earbuds, you should probably wait
for the new ones to come out! But also remember that these airpods pro are currently on sale
for $220, and the price will probably drop even more when the new ones come out!
