Man never runs out of microphone stories.😂😂

I absolutely love this guy. He always brightens up my day. And of course I can't forget the cutie frank.

I went into a bathroom with my headphones in active listening mode. Tried to turn it off but it wouldn’t work. Heard very detailed squelching sounds in my ear from the guy in the next stall and had to rip them out of my head.

I love it when I'm on a DankPods binge and he uploads a new video.

I love your audio reviews because you have the experience as a musician and audiophile to know what sounds good, without being a snob about it. You know how to talk about audio devices, talk about the negatives, but also make sure it’s very clear how good the sound is, and there’s no confusion. I prefer these over the reviews from big name channels like LinusTechTips (as much as i love them) because i honestly feel Linus’ negative opinion of products takes away from the positives of the products way too much.

The proliferation of the "pro" designation on earbuds suggests that there is a whole force of professional earbud listeners. Fascinating.

You know Dank, your videos really inspired me to look into high quality headphones. So because of you I picked up one of those fiio btr5s and a set of $30 AT studio headphones. I just recently picked up a set of Dt 770 Pros (250 ohm) to go even further, totalling around $250. I regret nothing.

The thing about Apple stuff is that they are marketed as a luxury brand in my country, so these cost $488 here, which is a bit over two months worth of minimum wage

The noise reduction got nerfed on both the Max and 1st gen Pros because Apple got sued by patent trolls. The iPhone 13 and 14 also have worse noise reduction on calls because of the same lawsuit. Also bonus fun fact, the lanyard hook was added because they needed needed an antenna for the case and they figured they’d give it a dual purpose.

[nickwallette]

I only have the 1st gen Pros, but the ANC is fantastic. In transparency mode, I have literally forgotten I was wearing them. It's not _quite_ perfect -- you can still hear the difference between live and Memorex -- but it has clearly been tuned with care. I love it when something complex is so unremarkable that it is remarkable.

One of the things I find improves spatial audio with music is changing the Spatial audio from “follow head” to “Fixed.” It gives you the spatial effect, but it doesn’t ruin the music if you are moving your head around. Also Frank is the best 🐍 SNOOT

8:59 I've asked and got SR850's for my birthday from your recommendation. Now I'm sitting here almost a year later, watching you through them and enjoy them thoroughly. They're absolutely amazing, thank you Wade!

Had the first gen AirPods Pro since launch. Upgraded to the second gen pro because they work great with my iPhone and Ipad, and ill get better battery life. The better sound quality isn’t a drastic upgrade, but it’s noticeable. The noise cancelling though is top tier now. And the speaker on the case plus basically an AirTag built in is awesome. You can turn off the charging chime too. I preordered mine from apple and even got it engraved with my name, as i was that confident I was going to enjoy them. So far that has held exactly true. Controls are the same greatness as the first gen, but the volume control is super nice when my phone is across the room. Amazing product and even launching at the same price as the old ones when all these other companies are raising prices was a nice surprise. Overall as a package its a great upgrade.

1:40 wait a second u put ur car keys and sunglasses in the same pocket?

DankPods uploads are literally part of my Thursday routine. Things could be off the rails, and a new video is all it takes for a much needed reset. Love you and the vids, man! ❤

Adaptive noise cancelling is a Godsend when you work around or on a gun range. Standard electronic ear protection has been using that since it was invented, and it's so nice to have both my music and my hearing at the same time

[Georgeful]

Dear DankPods, While you where compiling this video you forgot the audio right channel and for moment I thought I got deff on my right side.😅

[AstonsVintageTechnologyWorkshp]

I have to say, Apple have been pretty straight-up about the low-bass/anc problem that was with the first-generation AirPods. Took mine in with a few days left on the recall program, and they just swapped them straight over for new ones. They were well out of guarantee, something like two years out of guarantee in-fact, so I'm pretty chuffed. Will probably try and afford the new ones at some point, when the pound eventually recovers from its severe nosedive.
