      @alrbruh alrbruh B&O Series and Sony Series and B&W are also still in the game

    Still no lossless audio wtf apple?

    Bro…no HiFi? It’s crazy to me that they now offer a service with lossless audio on Apple Music now and you still can’t use Apple Headphone hardware to enjoy it.

      It is up to 48 bits per second but still i feel you

    • Ronu Roshi

      September 8, 2022 at 1:02 am

      Hope they will get it by a software upgrade by the end of 2022

      Im waitinh so much for the loseless

      Current Bluetooth tech doesn’t allow for hifi audio unfortunately

      I imagine plugging in the AirPods Max will do it

    I don’t understand how the AirPods can support the Apple Watch charger but the Apple Watch can’t be charged on a regular wireless charger

    • Damián Neuenschwander

      September 8, 2022 at 1:20 am

      They probably added a second smaller coil inside the case so it charges with the apple watch charger. The apple watch is not big enough to fit a regular sized coil.

    September 8, 2022 at 12:57 am

    Reason why I got an iPhone was because I thought they would come up w/ some sort of lossless transmission or Bluetooth— I should have gone the Samsung w/ their new
    Scalable hifi codec

    • Joey Ortiz

      September 8, 2022 at 1:16 am

      Yup got mines!! 🤣😂

  6. Mrs. Riki

    September 8, 2022 at 1:00 am

    Happy they didn’t increase the price. Not getting them, but I’ve lost like 4 airpod pros. Chances are I will lose my current set, so there will be in my future lol

    • Abraham TZM

      September 8, 2022 at 1:24 am

      Quite irresponsable in my opinion

  7. mike listeral

    September 8, 2022 at 1:01 am

    still cant play flac? lol

    cant even copy folders onto an iphone. i got a 1TB micro sd card for 100$

  8. SANDSPYDERJK

    September 8, 2022 at 1:01 am

    Is the bass and sound quality better than the previous gen?

  9. 4000Wiggins

    September 8, 2022 at 1:04 am

    Double the noise cancelling is a game changer for me personally.

    • Karma Drukpa

      September 8, 2022 at 1:07 am

      Same here! Especially when you’re in gym, fight or in train!

    I need an Extra Large ear tip!!!!

  11. grahamjl766

    September 8, 2022 at 1:08 am

    Idk what it is but the stems seem to look better to me. I think the fact that they hook up reminds me of a mike boom or an old first gen hands-free set executives used to wear.

  12. fatcrruise

    September 8, 2022 at 1:12 am

    still hoping they come with variation of colors

  13. D KL

    September 8, 2022 at 1:15 am

    Double noise canceling? Did they test it on a NY subway train during rush hour?

  14. Ahura Farahani

    September 8, 2022 at 1:15 am

    Aw yes, Good to know they are still naming their headphone chips after Toronto subways.

  15. Jero Me

    September 8, 2022 at 1:16 am

    Finally they added a Lanyard holder. This is something that we need on these types of devices

  16. Heime101

    September 8, 2022 at 1:18 am

    Will they ever make it go into transparency mode when you pause as an option.

  17. Heime101

    September 8, 2022 at 1:19 am

    Funny personalized spacial audio is a iOS 16 feature not a AirPods Pro feature

  18. Moony Reel

    September 8, 2022 at 1:20 am

    I like the stems.

  19. SBONFYE

    September 8, 2022 at 1:22 am

    Stop fooling yal selves keep your old AirPods and buy the new case separately if yal really wanna hear BEEP BEEP BEPP

  20. Hobo

    September 8, 2022 at 1:24 am

    Let’s go my AirPods Pro of 3 years just broke and I just got 160 free from getting a MacBook Air. Imma just sell my AirPods Pro right earbuds and case and boom I get this for free.

  21. Tom Kraft

    September 8, 2022 at 1:26 am

    im glad they stuck with the stem design. For some reason earbuds without stem just looks weird to me.

  22. DragonPhlegm

    September 8, 2022 at 1:27 am

    How’s the microphone quality? I hope people don’t complain I sound muffled and staticy

  23. litty entertainment

    September 8, 2022 at 1:28 am

    soundcore space a40 is better and cheaper with alot of features…

  24. Jeric P

    September 8, 2022 at 1:29 am

    So do they come with the lanyard I saw on the event cuz I would like that specific one to go with jt

  25. levil401

    September 8, 2022 at 2:26 pm

    Guarantee the bass is still non existent but I’m sure clarity and NC is top notch.. I’ll pass, learned my lesson with the first APP’s.. there’s plenty of earbuds with clarity, great NC and a nice THUMP and fit for much less money

  26. Julian Paolo Dayag

    My only concern is if this version of Airprods Pro 2 has fixed the issue on the ANC which produces a cracking sound on the right bud. My Airpods Pro right now still has this issue and the only way to remove the cracking sound is to turn off ANC. So right now I’ve been using my buds for over a year without ANC.

      Due to issues with early units, Apple extended the warranty to 3 years. Just had both of mine replaced today at the Apple store. 😎

    Keep dreaming about lossless music. It will be streaming same codec

  28. kyle decker

    September 8, 2022 at 3:09 pm

    Keep the stems forever!!!!

  29. ar bee

    @MarkHyman! I didn’t know you work for Cnet.

  30. Liam

    September 8, 2022 at 4:09 pm

    Booo…. Don’t believe battery life and stems ugly

  31. chop 362

    September 8, 2022 at 4:10 pm

    How about sound quality? Like when listening to music? Do the 2’s sound any better? More or less base? No mention🤦‍♂️

    • Just_some_guy

      September 8, 2022 at 7:56 pm

      they should because they support a higher version of bluetooth

    • A-10

      September 9, 2022 at 12:01 am

      @Just_some_guy newer Bluetooth versions don’t mean it would sound better

  32. Fish bowl deals

    September 8, 2022 at 4:50 pm

    The old ones can do the custom spatial audio it was a feature from the beta

  33. Martin Gillespie

    September 8, 2022 at 5:41 pm

    Still the worst looks headphones

  34. Martin Gillespie

    September 8, 2022 at 5:42 pm

    If you believe apple your not of this world.

  35. Juan Pablo Jara Reuse

    Los AirPod Pro 2 NO REPRODUCEN AUDIO SIN PÉRDIDA DE INFORMACIÓN. NO LOS COMPREN !!!

  36. Sparkle Boom

    September 8, 2022 at 7:00 pm

    I’m so disappointed that the Airpods Pro don’t come in black. I thought that they would’ve given us that option by now🖤

  37. Vinu J Isaac

    September 8, 2022 at 7:01 pm

    Can the new ones be paired to an Android?

  38. TCPUDPATM PORTS

    September 8, 2022 at 7:08 pm

    Are you kidding me? The AirPods Pro was GARBAGE for voice calling. It picks up everything and makes it useless in anything but dead silence…

  39. Peaklow

    September 8, 2022 at 7:47 pm

    What series iphone do you need for personalized spatial audio scanning?

  40. EyesIsWatchin

    September 8, 2022 at 8:39 pm

    Only IPX4 rating??? Lol fail

  41. VieleGuteFahrer

    September 8, 2022 at 8:54 pm

    Thank god the stem is still there. I’ve been waiting for volume control and Find My.

    Still hesitant though because of the price, lack of USB-C (every other Apple product besides the iPhone has it) and the fact that ANC and TM stopped working on my left AirPod Pro and Apple didn’t wanna replace it because the warranty expired a few days before. I’m highly convinced that this thing was eligible for their repair service.

  42. Captain Chats

    September 8, 2022 at 9:29 pm

    These are the star of the show for me, the phones aren’t that different from my iPhone 12, the ultra watch isn’t really for me and too dam big, urgently have a series 4 and it’s still running like a champ. The Air pods pro 2 have some nice upgrades and I use my current AP pro every day. Podcasts, music at the gym etc, some of these upgrades will be utilised massively. I’m pretty certain I will get these

  43. Luke Lee

    September 8, 2022 at 9:56 pm

    Just added volume control and still no hifi audio. For $250+? Lol.

  44. TankNSpank

    September 8, 2022 at 10:01 pm

    So is the bass good? Because my AirPods 3 is a lot louder and the bass is better

  45. Best Way Tech

    September 8, 2022 at 10:52 pm

    wireless charging is lowkey a waste of money because its pretty much a slow charging usb lightning charging, but just charges via the back

  46. tommy lee

    September 8, 2022 at 11:02 pm

    Why do they still have the ugly stems?

  47. zirak93 - 2

    September 8, 2022 at 11:27 pm

    6 hours is disappointing when other companies like Jabra, JBL and Sony delivers up to 10 hours with each charge. ^^

  48. chris Silva

    September 9, 2022 at 12:54 am

    You just repeated what apple sent

  49. Shawn McMullen

    September 9, 2022 at 1:14 am

    If you buy a case would it fit on this model as well as the regular AirPods Pro?
