Hands-On With the New AirPods Pro 2

[lindros2]

The difference between APP 1 and 2 are already small. Biggest would have been better noise canceling, but even that isn’t a huge improvement according to reviews.

I think the bigger difference, which I’m pointing out, (no need to get defensive), is the fact that dirty used AirPods Pro preform much worse than new ones. The difference here would be comparable to jumping from APP 1 to APP 2, sound wise, maybe even more.

But I welcome all to enjoy their $249 for 10% improvement, which will degrade overtime anyways as they get dirty. I got my improvement for free.

Causation vs. correlation.

In my experience the APP2 do block outside noise better. I wish I had had them when flying to Chicago last week. I was careful watching the charge on my APP1 during those flights. It would have been no problem with the APP2. I tend to wear them with ANC on even when I’m not listing to anything when on a flight just to block the noise of the plane. The fact that they have actual “find my” support now instead of the fake support from the APP1 is a nice bonus. The biggest improvement for me is the better noise suppression on the microphone. That along was worth the upgrade.

Thanks for the input. For me, seeing only a 30 min boost wasn’t enough to upgrade, especially since my current ones were replaced and have battery health at 100%. My case wasn’t replaced though, and it feels like I have to charge it every other day. Had my buds not been replaced, new AirPods Pro 2 would have been 100% buy.
