Hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and air pods - and air pods pro have been
out for a few months and I've been using them since the day they came out and I
wanted to help you decide which one you should pick up if you haven't already or
maybe you already have air pods - and you want to decide if you want to pick
up ear pods Pro so hopefully this video will help you out with that
now I've linked all the time codes in the description below so you can jump to
the section that interests you most so if you wanted to talk about comfort or
sound quality noise cancellation things like that I've linked those so you can
just jump to that section if you don't want to watch the entire video now the
first thing is overall design both of them are very similar and they stand out
when someone's wearing them so for example you can pretty much tell when
someone has air pods - in their ears obviously they're very familiar at this
point you see a lot of people wearing them and then the air pods Pro the same
thing is true but you can tell them by the shorter stem so the overall design
is very similar they both sit in your ear nicely and they both are actually
pretty comfortable in your ear so the overall comfort between both of them is
good but they're a little bit different so for example the air pods - I find to
be a little bit better if you don't like things in your ear canal for example so
this earpiece sits just outside of your ear canal and because of that I find
that they're a little bit more comfortable to wear for longer periods
of time and if you want to use them in a work environment you can still hear
what's going on around you without a problem so if someone's talking to you
or comes up behind you to talk to you about something you can easily hear them
now of course the point of air pods Pro is noise cancellation and they do a good
job of that I'll talk about that more in in a moment but this piece here sits in
your ear canal and that may not bother most people but for a long term I
actually find that it bugs me a little bit
however for in-ear headphones I find them to be or earphones I find them to
be incredibly comfortable in fact I have slept with these in my ears for the past
few nights and it's really been no problem so it just depends on if this
bothers you or not I find that the air pods to sit in my ears no problems so if
I put one in my it sits there perfectly no issues
whatsoever but for people like my wife for example they don't sit in their ears
they'll just fall out and basically if you have a problem with the included ear
pods that come with iPhones these will be a problem for you however the
opposite is true with the air pods Pro because they have this part that goes in
your ear they sits they sit in there without an issue for the most part so
they sit in there comfortably and then of course you have different ear tips
sizes so that if you want to use this is the smallest size you can go to sizes
bigger if this one doesn't work for you you can just change it out and find the
one that works best for you and they seem to stay put really well and you can
change them out really easily you just pull them off like this and this has an
advantage as well as far as dealing with things like ear wax now I clean my ears
daily but these do not seem to accumulate as much earwax as the air
pods - now air pods - these have been cleaned already but they accumulate a
lot more earwax even if you clear you clean your ears multiple times per day
for some reason they seem to fill up still with earwax so you will have to
clean that out whereas on the air pods Pro it's really
simple to just pop one of these off clean it out and it has this protective
mesh over it so that you're not getting the actual speakerphone part dirty so it
really works well that way and they're much easier to clean as far as that part
goes so that's an advantage of the air pods Pro now when it comes to the actual
noise cancellation one of the air pods - don't really have any noise cancellation
because they don't seal in your ear but the air pods Pro seal in your ear nicely
but this is a little bit different than any in ear headphone I've used before
for noise cancellation and what I mean by that is there's some vents on the
outside so there's a vent here there's a vent on the inside and some sensors and
those vents really help to equalize the pressure air pods Perle along with
powerbeats Pro function the same way so that maybe you're in an airplane and the
pressures are changing it allows air to shift back and forth so that it's not
too much in your ear like an ear plug but rather just a speaker in your ear so
this is something that I find to be a huge advantage over other brands and it
just helps when you're in situations like a plane and all those
pressures are changing as you change altitudes so it's something that I find
to be much better than other headphones out there and the actual noise
cancellation sound is a more of a lower end sound as opposed to maybe some
others that I've heard where it's sort of a it's sort of a higher pitch where
it's just kind of white noise this is more of a low-end sound where it cancels
everything so it's definitely different than others I've used but I do like over
the ear headphones better for this just because I find them more comfortable on
flights over time but these work great for their portability and then of course
there is the overall sound quality and sound quality of both of these is
actually more similar than you might think
but because the air pods Pro have this part that seals in your ear they
actually have a little bit more bass so you can project more bass this way
everything else sounds very similar and after using them for a few months while
I do think the air pads Pro sound a little bit better I wouldn't say they're
a huge step up over air pods to so if you have some of the higher-end
headphones from say Sony or Bose those are actually gonna sound a little bit
better than these probably overall but air pods to sound great in general and I
really have no issues with them and they're so convenient that I continue to
use them regularly the overall usability of the air pods Pro verse the air pods -
is a little bit different you have this little flat piece here and this is
actually a button on the air pods Pro and it's not a physical button but when
you press it you can hear a little click and you hear that in your ear and it
makes you feel like you're pressing a physical button even though you're not
and you've got a couple options with this button the first one is if you
press and hold it you can go between transparency mode or noise canceling
mode now each side has this button on the earpods Pro and you can program them
differently we'll take a look at that in a moment but when you press and hold it
initially it will do the noise canceling then the transparency or you can set it
up for Siri and do different commands such as text someone ask questions or
turn the volume up and down there is no gesture to turn the volume up and down
on either the air pods - or the air pods Pro you can also play or pause a track
by pressing it once or if you double press or double squeeze this button you
can go to the next track triples you can go back a track so it works
really well very similar to what you have on the air pods in the inline
controls and you don't have the same sort of controls on the air pods too but
you do have a few other things but let me show you the different options you
have with ear pods Pro first on the iPhone now on the iPhone if we go to the
control center and then press and hold on our ear pods Pro we have the option
for noise cancellation off or transparency so if you have one in your
ear you can turn off the transparency turn it on and you can hear everything
around you you need both for noise cancellation and then if we go into
settings then we go to bluetooth then we go to air pods Pro and tap the little
eye we have a couple different options as well other than naming our device we
can change what the press and hold does on the left or right and we can change
them to Siri or noise cancellation transparent parentsí and off so
depending what you do now you do have automatic ear detection and ear tip fit
test now this ear tip fit test I find that it's basically just looking for a
good seal so even though you press them in your ears and seal them it's just
looking for that seal overall it's not looking for anything special well the
air pods - there's a little less when it comes to actual options so let me switch
over here now on the air pods - there's actually a motion sensor inside that
allows you to go to the next track or whatever you set it for so you can
double tap on the side for something like Siri or next track or previous
tracks so let me show you the options for that so on the iPhone 11 Pro max now
I have my air pods - paired to them if we go to the control center you'll see
them here and if we press and hold on the air pods - we can adjust the volume
we have no options for anything like noise cancellation obviously now if we
go to settings if I go into the air pods to tap on I here we have some options
for the air pods - to adjust the double tap on air pod for left and right so we
can set it to Siri play pause next track previous track or off so just depending
on how you want to use them you can set that up for left or right and then you
have automatic ear detection and microphone and the other thing of course
is overall connectivity between your devices I find that they have equally
good connection between your eyes your Mac MacBook or your iPad whatever
you're using seems to stay well connected for a long period of time and
you can easily switch between those devices you just go to your Bluetooth
settings and click connect and usually they switch or sometimes they switch on
their own depending on which one you're using now as far as battery life the
charging case will give you some battery life about 24 hours on each one of them
if you continually charge the air pods or air pods Pro so if you put them in
the case they charge and they charge up pretty quickly they're about the exact
same when it comes to that with the exception of when you're using noise
cancellation you may get about a half hour less time otherwise I find that
these work fine on four to four and a half hours of flights and if you just
put them in the case and the case is full this will give you 24 hours of
charge on either one of them so you just put them in the case for fifteen minutes
if you need to charge them up and you'll have no problem now depending on which
one you get as far as the cases go the cases do have wireless charging built in
I use that the air pods - you have to pay extra for that the air pods Pro come
with the wireless charging case I just tend to use that all the time but you
can use lightning on both of them so you have a little bit bigger case on the
earpods Pro because of the size of everything and the air pods - are a
little bit smaller so both are satisfying to use but the air pods -
case if you're into fidgeting a lot the air pods - cases a little bit easier to
use the ear pods Pro isn't as satisfying as far as that goes but they're equally
good in most things so also of course there's a price difference you're going
to spend depending on when you find them which cases you get you're going to
spend about a hundred dollars more for the air pods pro so ear pods Pro I would
highly recommend if you're traveling you want wireless earphones for planes and
things like that these can't be beat as far as I'm concerned but when it comes
to just general daily use if you don't care about noise cancellation air pods -
are just as good in many ways other than maybe the base that's it for the air
pods - versus the air pods Pro let me know which one you prefer and why and of
course there's that price difference so you may just get the cheaper ones
because it's more in your budget but that's fine both are great
what you need them for let me know what you think in the comments below I'll
link this wallpaper from the iPhone in the description below if you'd like to
get your hands on this and if you have any other questions I'd love to hear
