Finally an airpod review i can actually trust

For my personal experience, the adaptive eq is mainly deployed whenever transparency and ANC mode turned on, i guess thats to compensate the freq. that used to counteract other noise. Whenever i turn on the TRANS and ANC mode i can immediately tell the eq is activated and the sonic bandwidth is narrowed hence less headroom and acoustic roll off is reduced by quite a lot. However, whenever i turn off the ANC mode, use it as a normal true-wireless headset, i can feel the transition , roll-off and headroom are performing really really good. From rock music to the great Mahler symphony they all sound pretty darn good when considering its price and functionality. Just that the soundstage is not being as wide and accurate as what i would like to. Overall, well done Apple, hats off the the engineers of apple

Got the Buds2 Pro at release, love them. Then I also got the new Airpods Pro 2 a week after their release and I've come to the same conclusion. I most often use the Airpods even though I prefer the sound of the Buds2 Pro. Not just is the ANC really good, the mic for meetings, too. And I feel like they're a bit more comfortable to wear through the whole day

Bear in mind that you can change the settings on the AirPods Pro 2's between modes just by squeezing and holding on the stems. If you are an Android user this means that you don't need to leave them in one mode. The video didn't point this out, hence my comment. (you can also adjust the volume from the stem as well). I've been very happy with mine and will be surprising my wife with some for xmas. The transparency mode was the biggie for me buying these - other air buds that I've owned/used really annoyed me when walking or making calls as you end up feeling like you have blocked ears and hear every step or your own voice echoing inside your head. The transparency mode is so good that at times I've forgotten that I still have the pods in my ears. It's not 100% natural but is seriously impressive.

I was quite surprised that my hearing is still good up to 19khz and I went to test the hearing and up to 8khz its normal. So Its good I started wearing earplugs and taking care of hearing before its too late.

That and you really have to have a completely unobstructed view of your ears too. Ideally you want someone to hold the phone for you.

First time watching one of your videos and wow such a great review and channel

Absolutely the best and most entertaining review of these on YT :)

These are an improvement over the 1st gen buds. kzread.infoUgkxK5mc3yw4xA7Mf2j6k6n1Uqv_KUgrKdeM Pros: The fit is fantastic. This is the biggest plus. They stay in my ears when running and become unnoticeable. They are tight but comfortable. The sound quality is about the same as the 1st gen buds. They pair more easily with my LG G8 ThinQ and immediately reconnect when removed from the case. The sound balance is excellent, good but not overpowering base and clean mid tones and highs.Cons: The noise cancellation is good but perhaps a little less effective than the Bose ANC on the 1st gen buds. Passthrough mode as not as good as the 1st gen buds making it a little more difficult to hear conversations when in passthrough.

My Motorola Defy Had that "Loudness Equalization" in the Cyanogenmod rom! (It had a program called DSP Manager) I LOVED THAT! It was my favourite music device back in 2012! Music sounded so good on low volume on stupidly cheap IEMs!

First time watcher, very informative thank you!

The same is true the other way around; AirPods have very limited functionality on Android. IMO you already decided Galaxy Buds vs AirPods when you decided Android or iPhone. This is especially evident if you want to listen with no ANC or Passthrough - Passive isolation on AirPods is only supported on iPhones, where passive isolation on the Galaxy Buds are only supported on Android. This is huge and something that more reviewers should be mentioning: Completely disabling any form of ANC/Passthrough will drastically improve battery life at minimal loss of fidelity, and IMO is a must have for any ANC TWS earbuds. It's a shame that these companies can't just agree on a cross platform standard where everything works on all platforms. Or even just a "third step" built into the ear controls between ANC and passthrough mode for passive nc. Wouldn't that be nice :/

Moving to a studio from your room makes sense and this is the first video so it wasn’t going to be perfect but I hope you have someone who is reviewing and helping you with the setup. The inconsistency between two camera was annoying enough to break my engagement. You should at least get identical exposure and similar depth of field so the transition doesn’t seem so off. And I would say your main camera can use some help as well. the wall is too close to you to get any type of separation and the lighting hits the wall vs hitting you. I keep looking at the wall (and it’s a red wall!!!!) and not at you. Combining the new setup with your unfamiliarity recording with two cameras, I feel like the video brought down the quality of what could have been an amazing review. Thanks for putting your time in for the research. The content was great as always.

Ok now that makes sense. I’ve been wondering why sometimes my Airpods Pro have channel imbalance. Putting it again in the case seems to reset it. Its annoying when you just wanna listen to your music on the go. That low volume listening is true also, noticed on lower volume 50%

Incredible review, Crin. We've been blessed yet again.

I’ve tested AirPods max and used AirPods Pro 1 over a year , the spatial audio is actually amazing if you have the content.Especially Dolby atmos movies and spatial audio music.I found the soundstage and imaging decent for a wireless earbud . What was amazing and quite surprising to me was some Netflix shows are sounding crazy with imaging. There were a few episodes of tv shows I can’t remember now I had to take the earbud of and check my surroundings , it was that impressive making you thought the sound was coming from real life, like someone whispering , a door cracking or a vehicle sound.but this is strictly related to the source of course And I’m not a geek in all of this I’m very casual consumer so I can’t give a qualified impression as much as crinacle But I’m really into surround sound especially in games and movies so I’m hardly impressed by products like mainstream gaming headsets. I’m also a sennheiser hd560s and ifi dac amp2 user thanks to crinacle and many other audiophile advisers. Sad thing is my wife just grabbed my AirPods pro1 and give me the old basic AirPods so I can’t enjoy this product any more lol So has anyone had this occasional moments while watching a Netflix tv show and had to take the AirPods off getting confused whether the sound source was coming from outside, or is it just me ? 😅

Loved the video, would also love to see you review edfier tws's, since there are barely to anyone reviewing it

Great review Crin; you’re the best

Adaptive EQ was designed for the AirPods 3, which is makes a lot of sense for. I still like it in my 2s as it helps with bass response as I walk around and the AirPods shift in my ear which was an issue with the 1s.

Wait it’s the adaptive EQ that shifts the center and screws with the audio? I seriously had an appointment with my ear doctor because I thought my left ear had an issue

One of the best Chanel, learned a lot and didn’t expect to laugh that much

Proper Dolby atmos implementation / mixing on certain songs sounds absolutely amazing. Stg it increases the dynamic range too.

I'm a Samsung user, but decided to buy the Airpods Pro 2 and do not regret it. I actually really enjoy the sound from the Airpods a lot due to comfort, really good ANC, and I love the transparency mode. My galaxy buds pro gen 1, had horrible anc, had okay transparency mode, good sound, and horrible fit. I'm really satisfied with the airpods, definitely worth the money in my opinion.

Interesting about the low volume listening. Since I got my AirPod pros for my daily commute in a van it has transformed my listening from hammering the radio almost full to putting on my airpods with ANC and it’s instantly like I’m in a library so can listen to my music so low it’s going to be great for my ears in the long run😄👌🏼

Why won't you use a headphone for movies?? Earphones are just for calls and listening to stuffs when you are out..(not at home or at some public place..)

@@mena4108 yeah I get what you mean to say..They are not for all occasions but they are way more comfortable and sound way better..I have Sony link buds (My work case required that great transparency..) but whenever I am in my home or office, I use my XM3s (I tuned it according to my taste).. Well not to judge someone but, I haven't seen someone watching movies and all in public places..(at most they use tik tok or watch casual YT videos..) I guess most of us will watch movies in home..Why use an earphone then??I have used Samsung buds Pro and all as well. They sound good (especially Samsung) but they don't sound even close to headphones..they are different..It's like comparing a smartphone camera with a Professional mirrorless camera..I can't agree if someone says that..

@@Variable_Degree_Series some people also wear eye glasses and the pressure of the cups pushing against the arm of the glasses into your head kinda starts to ache. But I agree headphones are far better though.

Yes thankyou for this upload 😊

I appreciate music and sound better after learning from your videos. Thank you.

I prefered your old studio more. It was more authentic and the mic quality sounded better (less echo) imo.

It’s the same thing in reverse, the galaxy earphones and the pixel buds don’t support most of their features on iPhone like ANC adjustment, EQ, custom touch controls etc. It just seems like they’ve decided that people will just stick to their ecosystem and it’s not economically viable for them to support the other. I don’t like it, but it seems to be the case on both sides.

yeah it was a weird one as I had been tempted to get the AirPods Pro original back when I was on android and prior to galaxy buds pro release... but was put off by the lack of an app. But then when I switched found that the buds pro didn't have an app on iPhone (technically there was but stopped after buds plus). Still find that the worst is using any tws or headphones on windows (specifically desktop). But ofc it is just to force u into the ecosystem, ended up getting MacBook and now everything works seamlessly.

Nice! Camera angles and all!

a review i've been waiting on

After your review of Bud2 Pro I’ve bought them to try it with iPhone/MacBook. And I’ve returned them after a few days of testing. I have Buds Plus as my second TWS when AirPods Pro discharged or I need to listen music wirelessly. And Buds2 Pro treble sounds weird. Much more weird than Buds Plus. Maybe it shines with Samsung phones. But with Apple it’s a no go. And noise cancellation in Buds2 Pro sucks

The problem is with iPhone's sound tuning, no matter whatever you connect it's gonna be lame! Never liked the sound profile on iPhones

@@joelo5164 if you’re watching this channel I expect you’re not a hardcore subjectivist who deny all the measurements. So I’ve measured enough DACs sourcing them from different devices running iPhone/Android/Windows/Linux/MacOS to say they all measures the same (except for max volume level in rare cases) if you use correct bitperfect player. And iOS/macOS do no harm to the sound on the default settings even with Apple Music as the player. So if your other devices sounds different from iPhone dongle the problem either in your devices or some iPhone settings

The image shift is a known issue that should be fixed in a firmware update. Widely reported already. Not someone only critical listening ears can pick up. Didn't occur in the 1st generation pros.

I don't spend everyday shopping headphones or earbuds but your wit has *earned* you a sub.

I pitted the buds 2 pro against my reigning champ the Sennheiser momentum 3. The sound I found was slightly better with the m3tw because of the huge soundstage compared to the buds2 pro. The buds2 pro reminded me of the 6xx headphones, very narrow soundstage. The mids are good, the highs are not harsh, however the bass all sounds the same. It's just a very narrow punch sound. I prefer sub bass and like a wide bass range. This is where the buds2 pro were sent back. The preset controlls were annoying as well. I actually loved the auto pause/transparency mode when talking however but the transparency mode was pretty glitchy going in and out similar to the auto noise cancelling based on your surroundings. Overall I can't recommend them.

I have both the buds 2 Pro and Sennheiser momentum true wireless 3. Along with WF-1000XM4 and Bose sport. I'd say there are songs what I actually enjoy more on the buds 2 Pro than on the Sennheiser or the Sony which are much more bass heavy
