AirPods 4 Reviews: 'An Almost-Perfect AirPods Pro Alternative'

[peneaux]

Can you try AirPods at an Apple Store? I had no idea.

I don’t know. But if not, buy it and return it if you don’t like it.

Point was to not trust reviewers since they’re just paid actors.

Still don't understand how anyone keeps these things in their ears w/out falling out

Still?! This new design goes on sale this Friday...

Looks like they are an improvement over the previous generation. Hopefully it will be fitting properly for more people.

The old school EarPods (wired) would always fall out of my ears. The first generation AirPods would also fall out of my ears.

I used to think I couldn't do eartip style headphones, due to bad experiences with some in the past. But then on a lark I tried the AirPods Pro 2. Not only were they super comfy, but they FINALLY stayed in my ears. I don't think I'll ever try going back to the non-eartip style earbuds.

Hopefully these new AirPods work for people who still prefer this style, but... If you haven't tried the AirPods Pro because you've had trouble with that style of earbud in the past, you should give them a try. They really are "different" than other eartip style buds.

Pretty much this (except, EarPods for life!).

Pro 2s are so different from other eartip style buds as you say that they don’t even compare to pro gen 1s. I bought those not along after they first came out and returned em same day to Apple Store. Just didn’t like the feel….but pro 2s?


Love at first listen.

I went ahead and preordered a pair from Apple, today. I hope they have a better fit than the AirPods 2nd gen. They weren't as good a fit as earbuds with tips but they didn't fall out of my left ear as easily as they did to Marques. I have them engraved with my initials. I hope I can still return them if they are a problem with the fit and sound?

At worst case, sell them to someone with the same name as you, problem sorted!

Do you complain about the skidmarks in your undies, too? Never had even the smallest amount of ear wax appear in/on my headphones.

Interesting that you assume I was talking about my own earwax! As for my undies: I‘m too discreet to comment about their state of cleanliness on a public forum.

Can I return them (engraved case) to Apple, if I don't like them?

Yes you can. I know for a fact.

Just picked them up at the mall…wow.

Turned off noise cancelling in a store. I had no idea the store was playing music…

My only complaint about these is that the bass sounds a little exaggerated to me. All of a sudden everything is "boomy", even music that really shouldn't be.

Had the same feeling yesterday at the gym during my workout

I feel like it's maybe not quite enough bass on my AirPods 2 ... but feel sort of like it's too much on my AirPods 4

I wish we had a slider to tweak this
(Do we?)
