Apple AirPods Pro (1st Generation) with MagSafe Charging Case

Wow, these really exceeded my expectations. I’m usually slow to buy new Apple products because mostly I feel my needs are more than met by the iPhone and MacBook Air I own. But I also find myself frequently fumbling with ugly tangled headphone cables, attaching and detaching (and sometimes losing) the obnoxious “dongle” needed to switch from my iPhone’s lightning jack to my MacBook’s headphone jack, and I find the sound quality on the standard Apple earbuds pretty bad for anything but the most utilitarian listening, e.g. a news podcast or a call to the bank. So I’m pleased to report that my AirPods have already become *incredibly* useful in the first week of use for their ability to connect almost instantly, and with fabulous intuition about when and where to connect, to either my two primary devices, transforming my day’s patchwork of Zoom sessions (I’m a therapist and a yoga teacher), phone calls, audiobooks, podcasts, and music into something much smoother and more flowing. The features, and their usefulness, were what surprised me. When I bought these I had assumed, wrongly, that they would basically be the same as the standard Apple earbuds, but made wireless. On the contrary, the sound here is massively better, a gigantic leap from one end of the quality spectrum to the other, and the sound can be shaped in several useful ways: 1) Noise-Cancelling Mode, which instantly sucks the background noise out so well for a moment you’ll think you’ve gone deaf 2) Transparency Mode, my favorite, which beautifully mixes the original sound source (music, podcast, etc) with the sound of your own breath and the outside world. The levels are perfectly adjusted to give you an amazingly crisp listening experiencing while remaining aware of your surroundings. It’s ideal. If in a dystopian Total Recall scenario a microchip were implanted in my head to play music, this would represent the best possible audio mix. 3) Normal Mode/“Off”, which gives the unmixed, untreated effect of standard headphones, allowing the normal amount of bleed between the sound in the ears and the slightly muffled sound of the outside world. This is the only mode I have no use for, because the other two are such big improvements to me. Turning these features on and off, pausing, or switching between music tracks works very well with the old “pinch the stem” technique that most wireless earbuds use. It’s the Morse Code style, squeeze once for this, squeeze twice for that system, and while it occasionally fails to understand what I want to do, it is much more intuitive and accurate than the few other brands I’ve tried. I’d say it following 3/4 of my commands perfectly, which for me is good enough, and again a vast improvement on other wireless earbuds I’ve tried, which usually suffer horribly in this category. I was a bit worried about this feature due to past negative experiences, but there was nothing to fear. Once again, Apple made the best. My strongest area of constructive critique is the voice quality of a AirPod user as experienced by the listener. The sound is crystal clear, and the volume is well-controlled, but it does sound slightly sterile and thin to my ears. I am a therapist and a yoga teacher and I frequently see clients through Zoom or other streaming video, so I was hopeful that these might also double as a solution for a wireless microphone. But I find the sound of a voice over AirPods in Zoom to be too thin and papery to match the sound of a good or even mid-level wireless mic. They sound best-suited to business purposes to me. Your experience may differ! That said, these are about half the price of an average studio or wireless mic, so this is not a crime, merely a point worth noting for other users. They are also a bit distracting visually for me, as their shape is a little chunky and protruding from the ears, and their milk-white color really pops against the skin. They are by no means huge or ridiculous, you’ll feel fine wearing them, but they are large enough that I am persistently aware of them when I see someone over video talking to me or giving some kind of instruction. It also throws me off slightly because I associate headphones with someone being unable to hear me, rather than as a way to connect with me. This is another reason that a wireless mic or a proper studio mic still has its place. That said, connecting a wireless or studio mic to literally any Apple device requires a bit of technical knowhow, plus a receiver and a collection of cables and connectors to get it to work, and with AirPods you just take them out of the case and that’s it, and you’re connected! Great product. These are the droids you’re looking for.

After owning my air pod pros for nearly two years now I feel that I am qualified to give an accurate and in-depth review over this popular product. I originally bought them due to my right original air pod dying, so naturally since I liked the first once I decided to go onto the next ones. I have used them for all the most common activities that the average headphone user does such as: working out, traveling, studying, and general use to listen to music or podcasts. Considering my time of ownership and widespread use of them I feel that I am qualified to tell you the pros and cons as well as why I think you should pick up your own pair of air pod pros. If you have owned the previous generation of air pods or any other apple product, then you will find that the pros come in the typical apple packaging which keeps the headphones and accessories secure and in good condition upon opening. Out of the box you will have the air pods themselves inside the portable charging case, as well as a usb-c charging cable (an upgrade from the usb-a in the original air pods), instructions, an apple sticker, and a few interchangeable sized silicon ear tips to fit best into your ear. To set them up simply open the case (the air pods will already be partially charged when you get them) and open you iPhone and a button will pop up to connect them. Next apple will take you through a sizing test to get a crisp and comfortable fit in your ear. As mentioned, the pros fit differently than the original air pods which is great for those who found the plastic design didn’t cater to their ears. Now with 3 different sized silicon tips buyers can find a snug personalized fit. The silicon tips also help introduce the new and biggest feature of the pros being Noise cancellation and transparency mode. The noise cancellation works very well when you need to tune out outside noise to focus, study, or are trying to sleep on an airplane. Sometimes I find myself putting them in without playing anything simply to make the surrounding are quieter. The transparency mode conversely also works well to help you hear the surrounding area which is great if your study buddy needs to talk to you, or you want to hear things around you on a run or bike ride. Now that we covered some of the highlights let’s review some of the negative. The sound quality is good, however, if you are a self-proclaimed “audiophile” then they made not be the earbuds for you as there is better quality out there. I found that it lacks some of the base that I personally prefer, but the mids and highs both sound good. Additionally, I found them to be just good and not great for working out. When trying to wear them to run I found that sweat often caused them to fall out and I even lost one in a stream once while running and had to replace it. There are aftermarket tips you can put on them to fight this, but I think something like the Beats powerbeat pros suit an active user needs more with the hook around ear design. Finally, the price for these is a bit steep at $250 although right now they are on sale for $180. Overall, I think that these are the best earbuds on the market right now and worth your money.

I used the Apple AirPods Pro (1st generation) with MagSafe case and they still work well for daily use.The sound stays balanced. Bass is present without overpowering vocals. For calls, voices come through clear in quiet and moderate environments.Active noise cancellation still reduces background noise like fans, traffic, and office sound. It is not as strong as newer models, but it still makes a noticeable difference.

I've been using the Apple AirPods Pro, and I have to say, they're pretty awesome, earning a solid 4 stars from me. The noise cancellation is the real deal; it's like a little bubble of peace amidst the noise and chaos. And that transparency mode? It's like they disappear in your ears while keeping you in the loop. I love it! But, here's the thing. I do wish the battery life was a bit better. Sometimes, I find myself wanting more juice to keep the music going. When I compare them to other top headphones out there, the AirPods Pro have some perks and a couple of downsides: **Pros:** 1. **Apple Ecosystem Integration:** They play super nicely with all my Apple gear. Connecting and switching between devices is a breeze. 2. **Sound Quality:** They deliver fantastic audio with impressive bass and crisp highs. 3. **Comfort:** These little things are comfy to wear for hours. 4. **Compact Case:** The charging case is pocket-friendly and keeps them going on the move. 5. **Noise Cancellation:** It's among the best you'll find in the market. 6. **Transparency Mode:** Let's you be aware of what's going on around you without removing them. **Cons:** 1. **Battery Life:** It's not terrible, but it's not the best, especially when compared to headphones with marathon battery performance. 2. **Price:** They're a bit on the spendy side. 3. **Customization:** Some folks might find the customization options somewhat limited. 4. **Equalizer Settings:** If you're into fine-tuning your sound, you'll miss not having EQ settings. In a nutshell, if you're in the Apple ecosystem and you're all about noise cancellation and seamless integration, the AirPods Pro are a solid choice. But, if you want something with longer battery life or more customizable features, there are other headphones out there to consider.

The Apple AirPods Pro (1st generation) with MagSafe Charging Case are a popular choice for Apple users looking for a convenient and feature-rich wireless earbud experience. Here's a breakdown of the pros and cons to help you decide if they're right for you. Pros: Excellent Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): Blocks out external noise for an immersive listening experience. Transparency Mode: Lets you hear your surroundings when needed, ideal for safety or situational awareness. Spatial Audio: Creates a 3D soundscape for a more cinematic listening experience (works best with compatible content). Comfortable fit: Includes multiple silicone ear tip sizes for a customizable fit that creates a good seal for optimal noise cancellation. MagSafe Charging Case: Charges wirelessly on MagSafe chargers (sold separately) for added convenience. Seamless integration with Apple devices: Easy pairing and control with Apple devices through iCloud. Cons: Price: AirPods Pro are more expensive than many other wireless earbuds on the market. Fit: The in-ear design may not be comfortable for everyone, especially for long listening sessions. Finding the right ear tip size is crucial. Average battery life: Battery life is decent, but not the best compared to some competitors. Limited control: On-ear controls may not be as intuitive or customizable as some other wireless earbuds. Reliance on Apple ecosystem: AirPods Pro offer the best features and functionality when paired with Apple devices. Overall: The Apple AirPods Pro (1st generation) with MagSafe Charging Case are a great choice for iPhone users who prioritize active noise cancellation, seamless integration with Apple devices, and a comfortable, customizable fit. However, the high price tag, potentially uncomfortable in-ear design, and average battery life may make them less appealing for Android users or those on a tight budget. Consider your priorities and try them out if possible to see if the fit works for you before buying.

First off: Bose QuietComfort over-the-ear phones are, to me, the gold standard for noise cancellation. I splurged on a pair of these several years ago and love, love, love them: their comfort is such that I can wear them all day and forget I've got them on, their battery life stands up to that all-day wear, and they're almost TOO good at the noise cancellation thing (I've had people walk up behind me (at home) and startle me because I did not hear them coming. But they're awfully bulky - no getting around that! So I thought I'd look into a pair of noise-cancelling wireless earbuds. The AirPods Pro had decent reviews, but they're the sort that stick into your ear canals; I also tried the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live, which do not (but also, naturally, had poor ratings for their supposed Active Noise Cancellation). The Galaxy buds are nice enough, in that they are comfortable, don't require jamming anything into my ear canal (ewwwww!) and come in fun colors. But they fall out if I do anything other than sit in my office chair, and there's really no way to tether them. The ANC on them is, as expected, a joke, and I don't use that "feature". The AirPods Pro come in any color you like as long as it's white. There ARE ways to make them a bit more secure (anti-loss straps, earhooks) and I've used both of those with mine. The ANC.... at first I thought it did absolutely nothing. Then I found that they DO reduce some kinds of background noise. For example, there's a small fridge in my office. Without them in, I can hear a slight humming. WIth them in, but ANC turned off, there's actually a LOUDER hissing sound. With them in, but ANC turned on, I cannot hear the fridge at all. Similarly, when someone in the next room is listening to something on the TV, with a door closed between us, I can't hear the TV at all with ANC turned on, and with ANC turned off, I can hear the TV (if slightly muffled). Long story short: They do reduce some kinds of background noise but will not do anything like the kind of job a good pair of over-the-ear phones will do. I have not yet had a chance to try these on any kind of transit, due to COVID. The Bose worked quite well for that - I could hear my audiobooks on the train without blasting the volume to dangerous levels. I suspect the AirPods would not work all that well; when I have a chance to try them on a train, I'll come back and update. Off-label use: my husband wanted a pair of these to use to improve his hearing (there are numerous articles out there about how this sort of earbud can be used as an inexpensive sound booster for those with mild hearing loss). He tried them, then reported to me that his mouse and keyboard actually make clicking sounds - something he'd genuinely been missing.

For reference I purchased the item 'Wireless Earbuds made in China' E10 $20 after coupon (left, white, smallest case), Air Pods Pro $175 (2nd left, white), Pixel Buds Pro $200 (2nd right, black), Bose SoundSport $109 (right, black, wired). All tested using a Pixel 6 to play the music. I received Google Pixel Buds for my birthday this month. I will say they had excellent touch controls, better than Apple's and Google assistant was always on point. I'd imagine best wireless battery life too, marginally better than Apple. Probably the best noise cancelling I've ever had plus transparency mode is nice and easy to switch between. Even better than my, albeit older, Bose Quiet Comfort 25 over the ear wired headphones. Just can't stand how quickly these come out of my ears, the fit is like the tip of an adult thumb to the first knuckle shoved vertically in your ear. Also noted as the best bass. Pixel buds did connect easily to a Pixel 6 phone, a littleore difficult to connect to a laptop but they did. I bought my wife AirPods Pro for her birthday earlier this year. AirPods are definitely more comfortable than the E10 knock offs, but E10 are close with minimal activity. Airpods aren't perfect, and will still fall out running or jumping for kids... I'd rather drop the E10s for the price. Sound quality is better than Google but not as good as my Bose, not as much bass as the pixel buds but Apple has far superior overall sound quality than the Pixel Buds. The touch controls do work, I do have some issues squeezing the right spot but I'm getting older and have fatter fingers than when I was in my 20s. I found Pixel Buds touch controls to be a little better. My wife uses these with her laptop (windows) at work for meetings more than her phone. They connected easier with her iPhone 13, but I did connect them to a Pixel 6 and her laptop fairly easily. AirPods charging case feels the most durable with a metal hinge, plus wireless charging works good. Noise cancelling is good and it has transparency mode, I think Google may be a tad better. Bose SoundSport have the BEST fit of any ear buds I've ever worn. So tight, I've actually pulled the cord loose from my phone instead of out of both my ears. Also the most comfortable since it's all a rubberish material touching your ear that sort of forms to your ear. Plus Bose have the best overall sound, but AirPods are very close. I will admit pixel buds have the most bass of any of these 4. Actually these 2015 released ear buds have the weakest bass of any of the 4 being reviewed. These are wired and still expensive, and now hard to find reasonably priced in 2022. I have used them hard and they keep on trucking. I will continue to use them if the battery is dead in my E10s. More and more devices are lacking an auxiliary port to connect to, I currently have an adapter for auxiliary to USB-C to use with a Pixel 6 phone, which also does work on my laptop. These E10s have better overall sound than Pixel Buds Pro. More bass than my (very old) Bose SoundSport headphones. Smallest charging case for wireless, also cheapest feel and the hinge wouldn't stay open when laid down. Touch controls also suck the most, I did get volume up to work, sometimes volume down. Non existent noise cancelling. Only says noise cancelling in the name on the manual, no where in the manual. Mic must work fine, Google assistant heard me clear. I haven't tested a call. These are the only headphones to come with a charging cord, no brick to plug into the wall, but USB-C to USB. My Pixel 6 charger with the official Google brick did charge this. Bottom line. I'm returning $200 Pixel Buds Pro for the $20 E10s... And I will settle for my wired Bose if these don't have battery. I couldn't justify buying currently priced $179 AirPods at the time of this review for my Pixel 6. Plus my wife won't let me keep her birthday gift. Time will tell if the upcoming Pixel watch is a success or a failure. I may be converting to Apple if the watch flops. I can't stand my Fitbit versa 2 compared to any apple watch (series 1 included).

Very good!

C'est devenu un incontournable pour écouter ma musique, la radio et converser au téléphone! Avant j'utilisais les écouteurs Apple avec fil qui étaient plutôt encombrants. Combinés à l'Apple Watch, c'est du pur bonheur. C'est d'ailleurs l'Apple Watch qui a déclenché l'achat car la conversation après ex. la prise d'appel était compliquée si je n'avais pas mis au préalable les écouteurs avec fil. La qualité sonore est supérieure à mes attentes et la tenue dans l'oreille est impeccable car on peut choisir la taille de l'embout; mon achat étant récent, je n'ai pas encore eu le temps d'évaluer d'autres paramètres. Satisfaite de mon achat, j'ai par la suite acheté la coque de protection, un jeu d'embouts supplémentaires, des crochets d'oreilles et des lingettes de nettoyage.

Aún sabiendo que existen mejores opciones en el mercado por un precio similar yo me decanté por estos debido a la versatilidad del dispositivo, soy una persona que diariamente sale al trabajo y ocupa transporte, camino largas distancias, hago ejercicio, estudio y como punto personal es que a veces me da un poco de ansiedad los ruidos que generan las multitudes como las voces y así, así que el hecho de tener cancelación activa en un centro comercial, en la calle o en el transporte público me genera mucha tranquilidad y felicidad; el modo transparencia es sorprendente aunque hay una cantidad de ruidos muy específicos que se saturan un poco, lo cual habla del buen alcance que tienen los micrófonos incluso para captar sonidos a distancia larga o media, el modo transparencia es tan bueno que no necesitarás quitarte los audífonos para hablar con alguien, su batería nunca me ha dado problemas incluso cuando los ocupo durante todo el día, la conexión cuando abres la caja y los sacas es muy veloz aunque siento que podría mejorar para la próxima generación de airpods ya qué hay veces donde quiero consultar la batería y se tarda unos cuantos segundos en desplegar la pantalla de información, y por último y lo más importante para muchos de nosotros, su calidad de audio es más que suficiente, no es para nada mala, aunque si lo único que te interesa es calidad sobre funcionalidades y versatilidad puede que no sean para ti, pero el hecho de tener una calidad ligeramente por encima del “suficiente” (lo cual podría etiquetarlo como una calidad de audio buena-excelente) en unos audífonos tan pequeños y versátiles se agradece demasiado. Perfectos para aquellos que estamos en constante movimiento todo el día, eso si, las gomitas sellan muy bien el canal auditivo por lo que tienes que tener cuidado con el tamaño que seleccionas para las mismas, al igual que siempre será recomendable que primero conozcan qué tan bien se adaptan ustedes a los audífonos de gomitas ya que es por ello por lo que mucha gente no logra acomodarse a estos audífonos. PD: También depende mucho del ecosistema en el que te desenvuelvas, su funcionalidad con dispositivos apple es perfecta pero si cuentas con un android o la mayor parte de tu ecosistema es android puede que existan mejores opciones.

Ótimo produto. Qualidade do som única na sua categoria. Ótima escolha

المنتج اصلي... و سعره جيد الي حد ما..الصوت رائع.. خدمة التوصيل سريعة جدا و التغليف كويس جدا جدا.. شكرا امازون

Anteriormente use los de Sony, los 1000xm3, tuve que comprar estos debido a que los de sony me dejaron de funcionar después del año. Pero volviendo a estos, el sonido de los AirPods es de tan buena calidad como los de sony, la cancelación de sonido es casi tan buena como los sony, el sonido ambiente es una locura, realmente parece como si no los llevaras puestos, y si le sumas el audio espacial aumenta la sensación de no llevar nada puesto. Lo único que me decepciono fue que el material de los audífonos y la mano factura de ellos, se ve de una calidad regular, así como la caja la cual se le escucha moverse un poco la tapa, dando la sensación de ser una bisagra de material barato. Fuera de ello la experiencia es buena, pero sinceramente si no tienes iphone no vale la pena, creo qué hay mejores opciones.
