The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are a significant upgrade from their predecessor, with several standout features that make them a top choice for wireless earbuds, though they fall just short of perfection.
What I Loved:
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): The ANC on the AirPods Pro 2 is superb. It effectively blocks out background noise, making them ideal for busy environments or commutes. The improvement over the first-generation AirPods Pro is noticeable.
Transparency Mode: Apple's Transparency Mode is second to none, allowing you to seamlessly hear your surroundings without needing to remove the earbuds. It’s perfect for quick conversations or staying aware in public spaces.
Personalized Spatial Audio: The addition of personalized spatial audio is impressive. It creates a rich, immersive sound experience tailored to your ear shape, especially when listening to Apple Music or watching supported content.
H2 Chip and High-Fidelity Sound: The H2 chip delivers exceptional sound quality with deeper bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. It also ensures a reliable Bluetooth connection and low latency.
USB-C Charging: The switch to USB-C charging is a welcome change, making it easier to charge alongside other modern devices. The case also retains wireless charging support, adding versatility.
Where They Could Improve:
Fit and Comfort: While the AirPods Pro 2 include multiple ear tip sizes, the fit might not be ideal for everyone, especially during prolonged use. They can feel slightly uncomfortable over time.
Price Point: At their premium price, they’re an investment. For some, the cost might feel steep, especially with competitors offering similar features at lower prices.
Battery Life: While the battery life is decent (around 6 hours per charge and 30 hours with the case), it could be better. Competing earbuds are starting to offer longer listening times.

It’s Genuine Apple Product.**UPDATED 11/24**
I made myself wait for ÍøÆغÚÁÏ Prime Day to get this,and I wasn’t disappointed to get this for £50 off.I was worried that this may be a fake,as these days everything seems to be reproduced.These are genuine I can state,the genuine Apple seal is on the box,unbroken,and having looked at several YouTube videos and able to do the comparison I was totally satisfied.What else can I say,it’s an Apple,it’s Awesome and it’s expensive,but you get what you pay for.I have bought into the Apple Ecosystem from years back,in fact I was up until recently using a pair of AirPods from 2017 with my iPhone 8Plus,one side has eventually given up.Needless to say am not I am not buying Air Pods Pro 2 to pair with IPhone 8 Plus,I have upgraded to the latest Pro Max,its seamless operation all the way.If you’re in the market for some serious earphones then I heartily recommend considering these,especially if you can find them anywhere for a discount and you can live without the embossing,but to be honest with you,if I were paying full price I’d buy them directly from Apple and get free embossing.***Update November 2024***I recently took an 8 hour Airline Flight with these and used them with the Aircraft entertainment system via Bluetooth.It was a most enjoyable experience,the Noise Cancelling worked like a dream to cancel out all of the engine noises,I was not tethered to my seat by the supplied headphones,matter of fact,while listening to music on the entertainment system,I walked to the toilet and continued hearing my music loud and clear,the comfort of the AirPods and the noise cancelling,made the money I spent for these very worthwhile,just for the flight alone.

Worth buying!
I absolutely love them! Such a nice sound and soundproofing! In the box are included silicone ends for them in different sizes so anyone can adjust it for themselves. So far no disadvantages I really enjoy them^^Worth buying!Julia
