I like these.
I’ve had an iPhone for awhile, previously used Android, but I just started getting more into the Apple ecosystem. I have iPhone, AirPods and Apple TV for now. I never really bought into everything previously, but now I can see the appeal. Everything is very seamlessly integrated. Phone and Tv pick these up immediately when I get them out. The spacial audio is kinda cool for movies and shows. I won’t go into a detailed list, but there are a lot of little features that make the user experience nice. As far as performance, these are top notch in the areas of battery life, call quality (the mic is very clear and natural sounding), noise cancelling and transparency modes. The noise cancelling in particular is the best in anything I’ve personally used. The sound quality is excellent, although the tuning may or may not be to your taste. They are very v shaped (higher bass and treble, recessed mids, I.E. vocals) and I do like the bass, but I don’t necessarily like the mids being recessed. Others dislike the elevated treble, but this hasn’t bothered me. In iPhone settings, if you go to accessibility, audio & visual, headphone accommodation, I select balanced tone/slight and that’s a bit more to my liking. Not sure why Apple doesn’t have actual EQ settings, but I wouldn’t say they sound bad either way. The fit took me a few days to get used to. I experimented with tips and settled on the small size. I had not used earbuds in a while, so there was probably some initial discomfort from not being used to having tips in my ears, as well as breaking in the tips and getting the correct angle. Now that I’m used to them, they are fairly comfortable. No major issues or discomfort. I wear them for hours at a time. They form a nice seal and absolutely will not fall out of my ears. Others have reported them being less comfortable than the pro 2’s, but I never owned those, so I can’t comment on this. Overall I enjoy these. I’ve been using them all day, every day at work. I just recently moved into a much noisier area, so the stellar noise cancelling alone has made them worth it. Read more
