Nope. Huge win. Only $50 more for all the extra features.
How much additional were you expecting to pay for active noise cancellation with passthrough, better sound, better water resistance, multiple ear tips, etc.?
They look way better than the AirPods though! imo these headphones are looking really good
Ya, I was going to order some. I like the added features, in particular noise cancellation. But their naming scheme is too offensive, so I'll pass.
/s
I did. Since it’s a new design, with new features - as well small batteries that loses life fast - $29 for protection seemed like a good bet.
I would bet they aren't going to be as good as your QC35ii for the same reason the WF-1000XM3s aren't as good as the WMs ... covering the entire ear is usually more efficient.
That's my reason too for sticking with the PowerBeats 3 plus it's harder to lose because the ear pieces are connected by wire.
I don't look at it as it's only $50 more than what they have now. What they have now is overpriced for what they are. This should replace those older ones at that price point. Their competition is offering the same features for much less. And with battery degredation airpods don't last long as is.
I have airpods now though without the wireless charging case. And I do use them often. But just can't justify these new ones at that price point. Good thing is I'm patient. I'll wait for a deal.
Your responses mean nothing. I'm just speaking for myself here so chill out. There could be 50 tips and it still not fit as good as the first gen for me. There's no way to try until I had them in my ears and reading an article isn't going to answer that.
I realize there's a "transparent mode", I'm just saying I would probably never use noise cancelling.
I have sweat and been in rain and yada ya and never once messed up my original pods.
I could buy twenty of the "new and amazing airpod pro" and my wallet wouldn't notice it but that doesn't mean I think it's worth it.
The big seller for me is noise cancellation combined with the tiny size and convenience of Airpods. The Bose are huge and cumbersome to carry when travelling. Even the case of the Powerbeats Pro is too big to carry for my taste. Airpods fit in any pcoket. If the noise cancellation works well, this is a dream come true for me.
What do you expect from things you put into your ears? What would an appropriate design following you look like?
I do not like the view either, but it is just like huge on-ear gears, making you look like ET or whatever.
I use these so much it was a no brainer. The price is a little high but with ANC and real controls it looks to be much better. Also, removable tips = much easier to clean.
They are slightly pricey though for something so easy to lose.

In a shocking twist, Apple knew some people would, and ergo still sells the originals.
But seriously people... like a third of the replies say absolutely nothing other than to knock the "pro" name. Do these people have nothing better to do with their time than worry about that? At least have the courage to actually discuss the features added, and what you apparently think is still lacking.

I mean sure.. I guess.
