The EXACT video I was looking for! Great work, man! Need some more subs here - I’ll share this!

[hexiestmanintheworld]

Per your request - I would recommend recording the summary with something like the SM7B. Thank you!

[hexiestmanintheworld]

Subscribed! So does the case transmitter exist on the S1?

My AirPods Pro 2 are giving out so, like you, I will be giving them to my wife (she won’t care about the issues I notice) and deciding which AirPod to buy. I like sound quality but also care more about call quality in terms of people hearing me in most environments. Which pair would you recommend? I’m fine with buying the pi7 s2 as I like high end gear, however, is the Bose a better move?

This is a great review I was going to get this, or the Master & Dynamic MW08 Sport to upgrade from Sony WF- 1000XM4 that I have right now but you narrowed it down great review

Have you tested the Pi5 for call quality? Would most appreciate a side-by-side with Pi5 S2 vs Pi7 S2!

Thank you for the good review. I always have connection and charging issues with my s1s. I think I need to get onto BnW to get them to do something with them.

[JoeGillian]

Thank you. Appreciate the comparison...call quality is not good (well not great)

Good review, particularly referencing the sound quality which for me is more important. But, of course others may need the best ANC available. The discount was too good to pass up. I gave my Pi7 original version to my daughter. ;)

[עידןתמיר-הס]

I'm currently with the pi7, is it worth upgrading to the pi7 s2?

[newyork]

Can you please tell us if the S2 can play LOUDER than the PI7, I returned the PI7 because full volume was never enough for me. Sound quality was excellent so I hope the S2 can play louder.

[zeyy]

Why does the voice quality of the S1 sound better than the S2 lol

You are all welcome to test your earbuds with Glockley's music ❤

[joedizzelfoerizle]

I get the feeling that you may be your biggest fan 😅

It gets quite tiresome to listen to "this is bowers and wilkin pi 7 s2 with x in the background" 35 times in a row. Please use some variation.
