AirPods Pro: First Impressions

[nikkisharif]

So Grand Central Apple Store has a supply in stock?

They sure do! Fifth Avenue & Grand Central usually have an abundance of everything.

I now have all three generations. Not even close. The pro model is amazing.

I am jealous of all of you. So, I caved last night and purchased the pros and paid the $9 for courier delivery. The courier delivered last night but to the wrong address so I spent my time on the phone with Apple trying to get it fixed. They have since cancelled my previous order and have issued a replacement but now I have to wait until 11/7-11/8 for them to be delivered. At least they gave me a Mophie 3 in 1 wireless charger for all of the hassle....but I want my AirPods now y’all. Well, at least the charger will be delivered tomorrow. Anyways, hope all of you are enjoying your new buds.

I ended up swapping to the big cups as i realised (duh) cause my left one was falling out with AP2, WOW what a difference, NC is way better, sound better, more comfy.

Have you tried the ear tip fit test?

I'm hoping Comply will have some tips for these by the time I get around to buying in a month or so. Silicon ones are ok, but I always seem to be in between sizes that are available or something and memory foam stuff like Comply is always a perfect fit.

Mine will arrive next week. I mostly want: 1) NC to be on par with my Bose 35, 2) stay in my ears while running, and 3) sound at least as good as my PowerBeats Pros.

I can’t talk to #1 but I can’t picture the Bose NC being better. For 2 & 3, the Pros won’t budge when you’re running (did a hard and sweaty 5k with them today). And I also have PB Pros and these sound better because of the seal. Base is a little deeper on the PBs but I find the sound much better in the AirPod pros.

Can anyone talk to using these when walking, specifically I'm curious about the typical thump thump thump you get from sealed EarPods as one walks along.

Yes i did, now i am using large in left ear and medium in right haha, seems to be working.

...Travelled on a cross country flight with them today and the ANC really did blow be away, especially considering how small they are.

How were they in the plane? The reviews I have seen talk about airport terminals and not flight.

Pretty amazing actually. Maybe not quite as good as over-ear options like Bose, but the ANC immediately shut out the engine noise and most everything else was seriously muffled. I’ve been saying the AirPods are my favorite device in years ever since I got the originals but these really take it to a whole different level

Appreciate the info! Regular airpods never did fit my ears right so it sounds like these might be a winner for me and my travel schedule.

Yeah same here. Originals fit my ears fine but I used my Powerbeat Pros in the air because of the plane noise. These are pretty much perfect for travel IMO

When will they starting selling the colored ones ?

I totally agree

Mine should be arriving any minute. I can’t wait!!!

That's encouraging. Can't wait to make these comparisons myself.

I think they’re saving it for next year..
