I’ve been using these Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Generation with my iPhone 14 Pro for two years already with no issues. The active noise cancellation is excellent, and adaptive transparency is really handy when I need to hear my surroundings. Sound quality is clear and immersive, and the fit is comfortable for long listening sessions. Battery life is solid and the MagSafe charging case is very convenient. Overall, an outstanding wireless earbud experience with no issues.

I've had these AirPods for three years now and they still work as good as the day I got them. I've also probably used them every single day for the last three years. They've taken numerous drops, falls, and puddle splashes and still sound great. I thought the battery would've gotten significantly worse by now but nope, still great. Great product, especially between my iPhone and MacBook.

AirPods Pro REVIEW 4 months laterNoise canceling:This is a review more with noise cancelling in mind rather than audio quality. I work in a noisy environment with machinery, chatter, & tools being used, anywhere from 8-10 hours per day. While earplugs are available at work, the noise is still discomforting for me. The AirPods Pro 2 gen on the other hand cancel out more noise while erasing most of the discomfort.The AirPods Pro are not going to mute the world around you(unless you’re in a quiet place), but they will either reduce the lesser noise to being almost non-existent, or make most of the louder noise manageable/more comforting. The noises that are still annoying are any higher pitched ones. Btw, you can still hear people speaking to you if you’re up close.I have removed my AirPods Pro while at work & the noise around me does blast my ears & reveal how well the AirPods are canceling noise around me.Briefly speaking about the noise canceling while at home & around my neighborhood. At home in my room, they do a really great job in making everything quiet, even for the neighbors blasting music during summer parties. They were ok for fireworks this recent 4th of July though.One small quirk I discovered is that they don’t really work well in noise canceling mode when laying down in bed for loud noises. I don’t know if it’s some acoustic physics, but when the neighbors are blasting music through summer nights, the AirPods Pro can’t really cancel the noise when I’m laying in bed trying to sleep. Like it’s weird I’m laying in bed with loud music blasting my ears, but if I sit upright, the music mostly disappears, I lay back down, & bam!I’m not sure if maybe another of the earbud sizes will work better. Like I did switch out the earbuds that originally came on the AirPods Pro to the “small” size(I’m not sure if I ever did try out the “XS” & “L” sizes but the small does fit me well), I think the ones I removed are considered the medium size.This terrible quirk made me start to research for better noise canceling headphones for use at home, I’m debating getting the Bose quietcomfort earbuds II or the Bose quietcomfort 45.When I’m walking around in the neighborhood in the morning, I turn on noise cancelling mode & listen to music or some twitch stream, & the world does go quiet. If any cars pass by they are audible up close but the noise quickly lessen as they leave. Again, machinery(i.e. people mowing their lawns/construction workers fixing roads) is still audible but reduced to comfort levels. Even birds, grasshoppers, & cicadas are still audible with their higher pitch noises but they’re not annoying. Also, walking near any busy street with cars passing by on all directions does make the noise more comforting, like enough to regularly pass through those streets.When I’m bike riding I switch to transparency mode to hear for vehicles behind or nearby. I want to be safe while riding my bicycle on the streets so I don’t really use noise canceling since they do reduce car noises, especially quieter ones, & might put me in danger. Using transparency mode while riding my bike outside does require me to raise my volume a bit higher to hear any music I’m listening to or any twitch/YouTube streamer I’m watching. Passing cars are not as annoying during these times, since noise does get a little drown out with music or twitch/YouTube streamers. When I get stuck in any intersection waiting for the traffic lights to turn green, I quickly switch to noise canceling mode & the noise levels become comforting, only trucks are still kinda loud. The one negative during these times is that holding the airpod’s stem to switch to noise canceling mode does take about 3 seconds activate & silence traffic.Random fyi:when you turn off both transparency & noise canceling mode the regular earbud mode does also block out some noise, but not anywhere near with noise canceling mode on. Also, if you’re not listening to anything with noise canceling on, you can hear like white noise, I think maybe it’s the microphones that usually cancel out the noise?Quirky android observations:These are still usable on android phones, I have an s23 ultra that I usually take with me to work(while my iPhone 13 pro max & 13 mini are for personal use). As many others have mentioned, you can’t:use google assist,see your battery levels(apparently there’s an app you can download which does show battery levels, if I remember correctly) ,use them with both transparency & noise canceling off, I believe.CLEANLINESS:(TMI, sorry)They do get dirty while working, so earwax builds up, but they’re easily cleanable, both the earplugs and the charging case.AUDIO QULAITY:I use my sennheiser hd 560s with the dac dongle for lossless quality on Apple Music, but I still like the AirPods Pro 2 & are also better than my regular AirPods 2. The sennheiser’s have more detail, but the AirPods Pro are still good. I actually use my AirPods Pro 2 more than my sennheisers since earbuds ar...
