This is exactly the video I've been looking for. 1) I have tinnitus 2) I use Android and 3) I've had real trouble with that plugged up feeling you mentioned whenever I've tried earbuds with silicone tips in the past. Also, the part about cutlery noise - I can completely relate. I'm going to buy some now using your affiliate link (UK) 🙏🏻

Literally the best review of airpods pro 2nd gen and the comparison with wired HP microphone and phone speaker's mic was dope

[HistoryBluff]

Not only did you convince me to switch to these (fellow Android user) but you also convinced me to get a hearing test. My symptoms are much milder, but you describing your symptoms sounded like what I experience. Thank you for the video.

THANK YOU for being another person who uses the earbuds to help combat Tinnitus. I myself suffer from severe tinnitus being a nearly 40 year old fully disabled (in terms of my VA rating) combat veteran. I worked for 7 years directly next to running jets as a refueler during my Air Force days and next to helicopters and firearms in my time in the Army. After my medical discharge I went to school and became an automotive technician for General Motors and worked at 2 local stealerships as a technician. Needless to say my hearing suffered for it and I suffer with tinnitus so I wear my AirPod Pro 2’s ALL DAY LONG. In fact THE ONLY time I’m not wearing them is in the shower or when they’re charging, otherwise they’re in my ears ALL DAY!! In fact I am considering getting a second pair so I can have a pair in while the others are charging because it’s made that much of a difference in my life!! Great review sir!!

You just answered all my questions as a Windows & Android user, even up to the fake multipoint connection. I've also difficulties with my ears so I'm hoping these buds will have less pressure and more comfort. Exceptional review video, thanks.

As a fellow Tinnitus sufferer I love love love my airpods pro 2 and airpods pro max. They have really changed things for me. Sometimes I wear them in transparence mode without any audio actually playing quite often ... and it still really does help, especially for the long term fatigue end of things because I think it's a much more controlled sound level even in transparence mode, definitely less sharp peaks and super quiet quiets. Also with the new H2 chip the loud sound pull downs on the airpods pro 2 even in transparence mode seems like another full layer of protection for those of us with sensitive ears. If you haven't tried them and you're between med and large ... try something like L in the Comply foam tips. I have a really hard time with the apple ends but those foam ones are magical for me at least.

This video is so underrated
Best for Android Users
Thank you ❤️

[BoxaBole]

Just got it as a gift. I'm thankful cuz I know how much it costs.

As an Android user these are the pros and cons to it.

Pros:
- NAC is pretty good and volume can be very high
-Phone calls are very high quality
- Very light on your ears with a good sound quality
- Good transparancy when you can listen to music and have conversation with people/listen to the environment.

Cons:
- the case charging only has C-Type to apple charger (No USB)
- No customizable audio with a android software (Very big minus from me) -
- just to connect to my last statement, I want "adjustable transparancy mode"( I want listen to my music, but when someone speaks to me I want the music to go down and have a conversation in between)
- if my transperancy is on and music volume is high, I can't hear my surrounding.

This literally answered essentially all of my questions I had for the earbuds. Great Video!

You should try the Samsung Buds 2 Pro. They are outstanding. I'm an Android user who has the Airpods Pro 2gen and the Buds 2 Pro, the Buds 2 Pro is just perfect. Only downside is the battery, which is better in the Airpods and the rubberized coating that will eventually degrade and you will have to rub it off.

[mscargill]

Very interesting that as an Android user you like the AirPods Pro so much. I tried them but very oddly couldn’t get the volume swipes to work. I’ve chosen to go with the Sony wf-1000xmrs - EQ and LDAC playback. I think the ANC and Ambient Sound are very similar on both; same for sound quality. Comfort-wise, the AirPods certainly win out. Equal access to the earbud features on both iOS and Android with the Sonys is another attraction plus the Sony’s Speak to Chat feature and memorising were you go with your earbuds and whether you need ANC or Ambient Sound, etc.

It was a great review,
I had to rewind and listen to when you said “because you have earphones in your ‘Mouth’ “. 🤣 5:07

[meekopal]

These AirPods provided me with a great night's sleep. I use them specifically for their noise-cancellation feature, which blocks out the sound of the air conditioning unit and my wife's snoring, allowing me to rest well. In fact, I couldn't sleep without them. I only wish that the battery life were longer.

[miked]

If you use all apple devices you don’t even need to hit the BT button. Just open the device you want and they will connect. Example on the phone then if I lock the phone and just open my laptop or ipad it will automatically switch to whatever device is playing audio at that time. Pretty cool stuff.

Have been using the Gen 1 Pro for a year and a half and this week bought the Gen 2 Pros for $199 USD and the ANC is a big improvement which was the reason I bought the Gen 1 so am pleased.

[TheFrostaill]

Thank you so much! Undoubtedly the best review. Been looking for an review of airpods for Android. You helped me so much. I literally write comments once a year but today is the day

[justforthetv]

5:04 "because you have these earplugs in your mouth" lol fun blooper. Good videos though, thanks man

[enam]

These fit so perfect for me just like the Airpods Pro first gen did, the noise cancellation is even better on these, the sound quality has a bit more bass now and the vocals are still clear, most earbuds I tried have too much bass it makes the vocals drowned out, I just end up getting a headache, so far no headache with the Airpods Pro 2 (usb c version)😍

[treydrier]

Excellent video review. Apple is taking pre-orders for the USB-C version of these. Great to know they work well with Android. However, I do disagree with you on the Bose QC45's. Don't know how/why they would bruise your ears. I've never had that happen nor do they amplify high pitch sounds. You have far more sensitive ears/hearing than the average person. I really like them. The sound (after adjusting the EQ) is excellent and the NC is superb. Like you said they can get warm though and I do find myself adjusting them because of that but all over ear headphones have that issue. The fact that the new AirPod Pro 2 use USB-C is huge for us Android users.
