AirPods Pro 2 Long Term Review - Buy Now or Wait?

AirPods Pro 2 - Over 560 Days Later Long Term Review - AirPods Pro 2 with Lightning and AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C are some of my favorite Apple products that get overlooked as innovation. While it took “courage” for Apple to remove the headphone jack from iPhone 7, AirPods have quickly become the standard as to how wireless headphones are done. AirPods Pro 2 brings AirPods to the next level with features of noise cancellation, transparency, Spatial Audio, device switching and many accessibility features to make them one of the best products apple has ever made.

In this video I review AirPods Pro 2 after using them for over 560 days since the day they launched. I help you decide if you should buy AirPods Pro 2 now or wait for AirPods Pro 3 or maybe just use AirPods 3 or AirPods Max. In this video I use AirPods Pro 2 with iPhone 15 Plus #AirPodsPro2 #iOS17 #Apple

I just got the pros 2 last week. Really nice, I originally thought about waiting until the pro 3, but then realized those aren’t coming until the iPhone 17 launch which is a year and a half away. Life is short, only living once so not gonna wait my entire life

[RiqMoran]

I use mine daily since launch and i still get a good bit over 5 hrs consistently. Lifechanging convenience and comfort.

Bought these recently (type C case) to replace my Airpods 2. The sound difference is amazing. Love these.
A word of warning to those who want to buy. This may be the top Apple product that is counterfeit. The fake Airpods Pro 2 will look 99.99% the same. So, unless you have the original airpods in your hand you wont be able to differentiate. They sound ok too. They bring up similar settings menus and pop ups as the real ones. You can change between features such as Noise Cancellation etc. and they act like something changes. What they wont do is update the firmware, and transfer to another Apple device signed into the same account. You wont be able to use them on your iPad if they are paired to your iPhone. They appear in the Bluetooth menu but you cant switch to them. So, take care out there.

I got the UBS-C ones on release. I’ve used them to a ridiculous degree and there holding up great. Might have to replace purely because I’ve thrown them about so much travelling and they’ve dropped out pockets and stuff. Sound brilliant and noise cancelling is astoundingly good. I use them for road cycling and about my accommodation for about 9 hours a day

I have AirPods Pro 2 lightning and sound is so good.I love these.

[TheTruKing]

Planning to get those in May, I really loved gen 1 but mine gave up the ghost which broke my heart because I loved them so much.

[JR-kzyx]

pro tip: while many listen to the AP2pro as stock, using an app like spotify and to adjust / tinker the EQ settings will make you love these earphones even more.

[ExpeditionNomadicAdventures]

Arron, thanks for your response to my recommendation!😊🎉
The noise cancellation is incredible. The fast switch update is superior.
PS: I bought the rubber case along with your recommendations to replace the rubber ear cones with the spongy ones.

Video Recommendation: which is the best combination of charging stations for the Apple Watch, AirPods, and iPhone?
Also, consider portability.

Hey Aaron. I bought my airpods pro 2 two weeks ago. I have realized that I use them way more than my airpod maxes. The noise cancellation is on par with the maxes but ONLY if I use earhooks that I’ve bought from amazon, as airpods pros don’t stay in my ears at all. I had the Gen 1 airpod pros previously and they lasted me 3 years.

[alieldorado]

I just got mine a few days ago, and when I put them in my ears the first time I thought my AC had shut off. Crazy how good the noise cancelling works!!

[jamesh]

Used my 1st gen 12+ hours a day. Got Gen 2 at Costco for $180 with AppleCare included this week. Huge upgrade for heavy users like me. Noticeable improvement in audio quality and fidelity. Adaptive audio is amazing. Volume controls on the pods is a big benefit when using with non-Apple devices. A major upgrade in every way.

AirPods pod 2 is awesome, I love the noise cancellation feature, also like the background sounds too.

[Junior-qpvh]

like this comment if you think I should get these airpods pro gen 2 (I'm serious though, should I buy these or wait)

[TahaChaudhary]

I’ve got my pros 2 in feb and they are just amazing.

[RiannaNicole]

I have both the 1st and 2nd gen AirPods Pro and enjoy them both, and would recommend the 2nd gen for anyone looking. I’m a typical user for music, video watching (YouTube and streaming services alike) and use them for meetings I have at work, and when I need something to mute the noise. I’ve used them on airplanes as well, and they do a great job all things considered.
I recommended them to a coworker, as they were wanting something for the noise cancelling and something good for music. I suggested the Amazon storefront as like you mention regularly, they go on sale.
I would love to get my hands on the Maxes at some point down the road, when I can financially afford them, and will wait for the hopeful newer model as well.

[chrisbutler]

For the £200 can’t beat them, I’ve tried them all beats, jbl ect ect the pro 2’s seem pretty much the best I’ve had. Old gen AirPods where inferior for the price but these are well worth it in my opinion

[DebjyotiThakur]

I’ve recently started having some issues with my brand new AirPods Pro 2nd generation that I purchased in late February this year. Since last Wednesday, my right AirPod started having loud clicking noise followed by very loud static noise whenever the ANC or transparency was on. The volume also increased suddenly at times and the orientations of the AirPods randomly changed and concentrated on the right AirPod. I took it to the Apple store and had it checked but the Genius Bar guy found that my AirPods passed all the diagnostics they ran. He even ran a diagnostics in front of me but couldn’t find anything. I’m in the process of sending them for replacement/repair. Not sure if this is because of some bug or if anyone else is also facing this issue. All my Apple devices are on their latest available firmware and OS versions and I don’t play around with betas as I use my devices for work.

[Jklly]

Daily driver for me and works excellent

[rogeliosoto]

Definitely waiting for iOS 18 version. Hoping for new hearing aid features.
Great review. Thanks.

Love my Air Pods Pro2. They work beautifully no issues, however I will notice the audio goes all weird when I have them connected to a wireless transceiver that allows me to be able to listen to the TVs audio bcz the smart tv isn’t capable of Bluetooth out of the box. It’s a quick fix just take them out put them back in your ears and boom! I highly recommend them❤⭐️🙌🏻
