   I was excited a hit these and I even get a veteran’s discount at the Apple Store for them but I don’t feel there anything that’s all that special to make me really want to upgrade from the original pros.

   Preordered my Pros day 1, and just received it, and definitely agreed with you on the 2x ANC improvement in comparison to my original Pros. Not really a 2x general improvement, but one can assume it to be on the frequency levels as you mentioned. One of the few reviewers who pointed this out in a wide array of reviewers extrapolating the ANC improvements. Props to the reviewer

     Thanks. Let me know what you think about the sound quality.

   I will either buy these or strongly hint about my interest so my spouse will have another gift idea. But I was waiting for Carnoy’s review first!

   0:55 Why would people want shorter stems? That would make them harder to put on your ears.

   We perceive sound closer to a logscale rather than linear so a 2x improvement in noise canceling is about a 3 decibel (dB) improvement but for us to perceive the noise cancelling to be twice as good, Apple would need a 10 dB improvement. So technically apple can claim 2x better noise cancelling performance without us perceiving it to be 2x better.

   The mic quality during the phone call was terrible just as the previous version. Don’t know why your colleague thinks it sounds “from very good to excellent” 🙄

    I just received mine too and they are really worth the upgrade from the old Pro! Sound quality has noticeably been improved and now they don’t “scream” anymore, if you lay with them against a pillow, like the old ones did, that’s actually huge! – I can really tell that transparency mode (my preferred mode) has been improved too – and if you get them engraved directly from Apple, the engraving even show up in the 3D animation which shows every time you connect them to your iPhone 🤯😂 All in all, classic Apple magic!

    I have a hearing impairment and was wondering if anyone out there also has a hearing affliction and found if these buds improve your hearing rather than traditional hearing aids?

      There is a Conversation Boost setting in the Accessibility settings that works pretty well. Should work slightly better with the new microphones and H2 chip.

    I’ve tried a lot of different earbuds, Sennheiser MT3, Samsung buds 2/buds live, bose qc, and of course the airpods pro, but I always come back to the airpods pro despite it being 2 years old already. The main reason being they fit perfectly in my ear as well as the tactile touch controls. The other earbuds may have better noise canceling or audio quality, but something about the airpods just makes it so much more easy and enjoyable to use. Can’t wait to receive my second gen air pods pro!

    While the call quality is ‘good’ relative to the type of product it is, it just needs to pointed out that they really don’t sound good at all if you’re serious about voice call quality. They’re ok for casual calls, but shouldn’t be using them for conference calls or a business setting as they just don’t sound good. You could already hear the difference in the video where the other person speaking sounded much better than the sound from the AirPods. The sound coming from the Airpods while the editor was standing outside was muddy and you can hear the volume while speaking going up and down noticeably.

    I wonder if you can use these at the gun range to test the adaptive transparency? Who’s brave enough to try? 😂

    Living in the US, I would be interested to see how these AirPods process loud sounds

    They don’t cancel a baby’s cry well, I’ll tell you that much. Room for improvement for higher frequencies. Still generally an incredible product though

    These are the update the AirPods Pro needed and they still have the best transparency mode out there , Sony and Bose still have superior ANC, battery life and probably sound quality though that’s more subjective but still these are the best for Apple users obviously.

    Partially (about 40%) deaf in my right ear as a result of a flu infection three years ago. I lost about 20% in my left ear as well. My experience with the Airpod Pro 2’s this afternoon: I almost don’t want to take them off. For some reason, the note cancellation knocks down the tinnitus in my right ear to almost inaudible levels, and my ears don’t fell as “stuffy” with the ANC on. It took me a bit to get used to the squeeze control (as opposed to my old Airpod tap controls). Overall, I think I like them. time will tell.
