Hello, I am thinking of going to buy a new AirPods Pro. I owned the first generation of AirPods and sound quality wasn’t so good. If I will buy the AirPods Pro, will I be satisfied? I like a quality sound so I want not to be disappointed.
Got a tip for us?

Airpods Pro vs Airpods (1gen)
Hello! Did someone switch from their 1 gen airpods to the new AirPods pro? Can you tell me the difference? Should i buy the Airpods 2 or the Airpods Pro?

I had the first gen (gave them to my daughter) and got the Pro - more because of the design because the originals while they would not actually fall out, they always felt like they were going to - and I feel the sound of the new ones are better. Now, saying that, I don't seem to get the full effect of the noise cancellation (use the largest tips and have rarely - without really playing with the location of the AirPods in my ears - gotten the seal test to work) but they do seem to smother outside sounds if not eliminating them completely and the isolation of my music is much better because of it. $250 better - your mileage may vary - but I am very happy with the purchase.
I would recommend you buy a pair and try them for yourself. You have until January 8, 2020 to return them.
I found that the Sony WF-1000XM3 sounded a bit better in direct A/B testing, but the APP are so much more convenient (and sound fine), so that's what I kept.
I think they sound great. Pretty good upgrade from airpods 1 and the seal is another good feature
I totally agree, but would also add that I think the Sony WF1000 xm3 are not quite as good sound quality using iphone x than airpod pro.
The sound is not good. I returned them. They Didn’t sound much better than my original airpods. You’re not paying for sound quality. You’re paying for the convenience. They pair up and work great with apple products. The sound quality isn’t anything to write home about.
