I just received my USB-C AirPod Pro 2. One thing I noticed is the volume does not go as loud. My lightning AirPod Pro 2s were bought about 10 months ago.

I did a test so I could share audio with both sets. Made sure that all the settings were the same. Turn off all noise cancellation, turn off adaptive audio, etc. I placed one AirPod from my lighting set in one ear and USB-C in the other ear. I could tell that my older one was significantly louder and then I adjusted the volume of the new ones to match the loudness of the old one and I am attaching a screen shot of the volume difference.

Anybody else noticed this?

Have you noticed any difference between the two versions in terms of audio quality?
The one reason I returned the AirPod Pro 2’s (lightning version) and went back to my regular non-pro AirPods was because the AirPod Pro 2’s have a head pressurizing thump that is audible or rather felt when walking that drove me crazy. They were also uncomfortable for all day-use such at work which is where I wear my AirPods pretty much all day for about 8 hours.

Any improvement in that regard with the new USB C AirPod 2’s? How many hours a day do you have your AirPods plugged into your ears?
 
anyone upgrade for the lighting version to usb c? I am considering doing so with the already good discounts on the usb c.
 
Yes the name of this cameras is “acoustic chambers“ and the shape of them is changing the sound.
 
Hi,
this french Youtuber had made some measurements and he says there is no difference: 03:20
He shows some graphs.
(and he is aware of the change of acoustic chamber, he talks about that in the intro)
