AirPods Pro Launching on October 30 for $249

[PastaPrimav]

i get your point. But i go on long bike tours and would still prefer the longer 9 hr batt life of the power beat pros. And Actually 5 minutes in the case give the new air pod pros 1 hr of extra listening time, while the power beat pros will give you 1.5 hrs of extra listening time. So they still win.

Like I said, you don't get it. It's not just about numbers.

If anyone is on the fence, wait a few weeks until the holiday return period starts so you can get a much longer and more complete trial to ensure you love these.

Are you adding sales tax, and taking into account that Apple is a US based company.

Presumably if you sold a product, it would be cheaper to sell in your country, than sell abroad?

I take the US price, change it to euros, add VAT and the result this one time is almost exactly is what Apple is asking (Euro prices already include VAT)

Preparing for shipment!
Can’t wait for real world usage and first impressions tomorrow!

 

[Baldrake]

How? 9 hours of listening time from PowerBeats Pro, 4.5 hours from AirPods Pro.

That's 4.5 hours in ANC mode. PowerBeats Pro doesn't offer ANC, so these numbers aren't comparable.

Ordered, i use my AirPods everyday for most of the day! these should be a great update even from the 2nd gen.

Apple is RETAINING the 'regular' AirPods, so this broadly new design differentiates it.

no, i get that. Its the same with the apple pencil and the apple pencil “pro”. But at least with the airpods you can use them on all devices. Me personally, now that the air pod pros came out, i am nabbing the power beat pros. They just lowered the price $50 to $199. They have longer batt life and come in more colors.

I'd order them now, but I am waiting for green or black.

Next year...? Black would be great. Apple of course needs to distinguish itself by choosing only white.

Like I said, you don't get it. It's not just about numbers.

No i get it. You just dont get that i get it. Got it?

 

[JoshBoy]

Ordered!!!! Been waiting for these since I lost my AirPods on a drunken night

 

[jimmy_uk]

Ordered, for delivery on the 31st. I've had AirPods in my pocket for years now; they're incredibly convenient but I can't stand how much ambient noise they let in. In fact, I bought the Sony WF-1000XM3 earbuds (with fantastic ANC!) this summer because I am sick of having to listen to other people's inane BS conversations all the time on the train, in cafes, stations, etc. So I'm curious to see how these 'Pro' AirPods compare. The one thing I do miss on the Sonys is "hey Siri" so hopefully these new AirPods will be the best of both worlds. Lol

The Sony WF-1000XM3 are very good but I’m always chasing the next best ANC earphone or headphone so ordered the AirPod Pros as well. Also have the Nuraloops coming in December (hopefully).

Probably the Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode + Active EQ.

These are not marketed at audio professionals so “Pro” makes no sense.

They aren’t even pro features, they’re convenient for commuters and everyday activities like the noisy train home or the gym.

So now Apple are splitting commuters into regular and pro categories lol I’m Professional because I’m wearing these AirPod Pros and catch the fast train home...

 

[Fatboy71]

It’s about time that the AirPods had some sizing customisation. These are what the original AirPods should have been. Also a bit lame that they are only available in white. Come on Apple, release more colours 😏🙄

 

[IPPlanMan]

But you won't be able to brag over and over again to your annoyed friends who could care less, about your new little Apple toy!!! Honestly, I'm with you, I got a great discount on the PowerBeats Pro and am more than satisfied with them. Not to mention the battery life of the PBP compared to the abysmal battery life of the APP, its a no brainer. People gotta feel special somehow though...

Exactly. Well said! 👍

 

[iGeneo]

I would buy these right now if they were available in black or green. I will never buy them in white.

thank you for the excellent feedback.

 

[MADMAXX]

I'm really curious how well the noise cancelling works and how the "tuning" feature works to measure the best fit.

In the same way that Sony has for 3 years

 

[Royksöpp]

I caved in but I got the 4th-6th. Damn! Should have just bought it as soon as I saw it.

 

[The Game 161]

Think will keep my air pods 2 for work and the rest for workouts and around the house...noise cancelling will be great in the gym when it does tend to get noisy.

 

[Robert Pollard]

These look awesome but $250 is WAY too pricey.

Never understood the need for noise cancellation when you are out and about. I always think someone could just come up behind and attack you without you even hearing them or you may not hear traffic.

Maybe I’m overly safety conscious but I like to hear everything around me when I’m walking down the street.

The only time I ever wear any type of earphones or headphone is when I’m on a train sitting down or at home.

I can't stand that wrap-around-the-ear design, though. Interferes with too many of my sunglasses. While I did order the new AirPods (primarily for the ANC) I've been loved the original AirPods for their convenience, the v2 for "hey Siri," and my Sony WF-1000XM3 for their bass and ANC. Hopefully these new AirPods will do it all.

When I first started my order a few mins ago, delivery was 10/31. When I finished, I got the same date you did. Maybe we will get it early.

Really? Care to list which model had that feature?
